Cap assembly for drug delivery devices

Abstract

A cap assembly for a drug delivery device, comprising: a cap body extending along a longitudinal axis between a proximal and distal end; and a delivery member shield remover extending along a longitudinal axis between a proximal and distal end, wherein the delivery member shield remover is located within the cap body and includes a grabber configured to engage with the delivery member shield of the drug delivery device, so that the delivery member shield can be removed when a user of the drug delivery device removes the cap assembly from the housing of the drug delivery device; the cap body includes a proximal-facing surface adjacent to the distal-facing surface of the delivery member shield remover and includes a user-accessible surface configured to be grasped by a user of the drug delivery device, so that the user can remove the cap assembly from the housing of the drug delivery device by grasping the user-accessible surface; and the distal-facing surface of the delivery member shield remover is located closer to the distal end of the delivery member shield remover than to the proximal end of the delivery member shield remover.
