1. A method of manufacturing a cartridge, the method comprising:
positioning an injection needle within a mold;
stabilizing, with a gripping device, the injection needle in the mold;
filling the mold with a resin to form a barrel, the barrel having an open proximal end, an opposing distal end, an internal reservoir therebetween, and a longitudinal central axis extending in a direction from the distal end to the proximal end, and the barrel comprising an arm projecting distally and having a portion bent at a fixed angle relative to the longitudinal central axis, wherein the arm of the barrel is molded around the injection needle such that a proximal open end of the injection needle is in fluid communication with the internal reservoir; and
separating the gripping device from the injection needle upon hardening of the resin.
