Wife had to wear a contraption about half the size of a pack of cigarettes that would inject a medication at a certain rate over a span of hours. I disassembled when it was completed. Neat contraption. A hypodermic syringe inside of a rotating tubular sleeve. Rotation squeezed the plunger by means of an internal screw-like bore. The sleeve had angled gear teeth around the perimeter of the base engaged by a piece of muscle wire. Periodic contract/relax cycles ratcheted the sleeve into a slow rotation. Interesting design.
