An intradermal delivery device for use in intradermally injecting
substances into the skin of an animal includes a needle cannula supported
by a hub portion that is attachable to a prefillable container. A limiter
portion surrounds the needle cannula and extends away from the hub
portion toward a forward tip of the needle cannula. The limiter portion
includes a skin engaging surface extending in a plane generally
perpendicular to an axis of the needle cannula. The skin engaging surface
is received against skin of an animal to administer an intradermal
injection. The forward tip extends beyond the skin engaging surface a
distance that enables penetration of the needle cannula into the dermis
layer of the skin of the animal enabling injection of the substance into
the dermis layer of the animal. The device includes enclosure means that
is moveable for concealing the needle cannula after the injection has
been administered.
