Abstract
Abstract A portable and wearable injector of mini size is disclosed, which may be operated for injection by means of a gas pressure and which is equipped with an injector syringe and a gas-impermeable flexible bag received in the syringe having one open end for injection and the other sealed end. The bag contains therein a gas-generating device for producing a pressure gas for expanding the bag in order to urge an infusion liquid through the open end of the syringe. As the gas-generating device there may be used an electric or chemical device.
