Abstract
Abstract A spring actuated medical injector for the continuous injection of dye, medication, etc. into a patient having a handle, a syringe holder, an actuating arm extending from a coil spring to the position of the syringe holder all made of a single length of wire and a detent plate member pivotally mounted on the handle for restraining and releasing the actuating arm whereby the actuating arm resting on the plunger of the syringe will exert a continuous force thereon until the fluid in the syringe has been expelled.
