A friend takes one of those once a week injection of a T2D diabetes medications.
His beef is that he gets lots of bruising from this injection ( t"he horse needle") and wonders about use of an auto-injector.
Could such a device perhaps shoot or guide the syringe/needle in at ? 45 degrees or ? 90 degrees and steady the needle and syringe and thus reduce bruising?
My other reason for asking it that, being mechanically-minded, he is looking out for drill guides and other devices to adapt for use and I fear a Heath-Robinson contraption is in the making !! Thank you for your thoughts and suggestions.
