I don't think there's been any morphine autoinjectors in use. The reference to morphine autoinjectors in World War II is, I believe, referring to syringettes, which are pre-measured like an autoinjector, but require manual injection with the needle, and squeezing to inject the contents. I'm going to remove this section, but feel free to replace it with citation. 24.9.155.46 (talk) 19:07, 19 October 2009 (UTC)M[reply]

An alternate image here. I think it might be better, but I'm not sure...Deleuze 14:42, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there some reason this image was never used? I think it's excellent, as it shows the unit whole and in use. The old lead image showed one taken apart, which doesn't help identify it. Kendall-K1 (talk) 22:19, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How much does it hurt to use an autoinjector? Is it like an ordinary syringe?--NoNo 00:00, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article states that morphine has been used to euthanize soldiers, but Morphine#Uses says it's ineffective for euthanasia. NeonMerlin 12:52, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is the ATNAA in wide use for US servicemembers? Or do they still mainly use the Mark 1 and CANA kits?--JaS

Request for Inclusion

Full disclosure, I'm writing on behalf of the developer of the easypod autoinjector. It's an electronic autoinjector that has been developed to assist with growth hormone treatment -- specifically to get children and their caregivers past the anxiety of self-administered daily injections. I understand that it's beyond my place to edit or post an article -- you can see a litany of my past mistakes and the progression of my understanding of COI rules (as well as details about the device at draft:easypod autoinjector, which, to my understanding, is never likely to be published). Some in that discussion have suggested inclusion of a mention of smart or electronic autoinjectors as a variant on this page, as well as an additional page on Smart autoinjectors. Easypod would be an excellent example of a widely used device in that category.Medscrib (talk) 14:36, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
