How to Use a SureClick Injector

The SureClick Injector is a medical device made by Amgen and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals. This device is sold with a preloaded dose of medication and is designed to make it easy for patients to inject themselves. Currently, Aransep and Enbrel are the two drugs that are approved for use with the SureClick Injector. The injector works when a button is pressed, causing the spring loaded piston to deliver the injectible drug to the desired location.
