Abstract: A method of manufacturing or handling a substantially pure object includes shielding the substantially pure object from the environment by substantially enveloping the object in a fluid. A system for manufacturing a substantially pure object includes a mold for forming the object, and a machine adapted to remove the object from the mold. The machine includes a handling device for gripping the object and removing it from the mold. The handling device includes at least one nozzle through which fluid is delivered to substantially envelope the object during, for example, removal of the object from the mold. The object may be a medical object, such as a syringe, or a component or part thereof, such as a syringe barrel or plunger. In a preferred aspect, a molding process is conducted in a room exhibiting less than Class 100 conditions and/or in such a way that the object does not need to be subsequently cleaned or rinsed, as by air or water washing.

Abstract: A metering receptacle has an elongate hollow body which at one end has a closable exit opening, and which at the other end is closable by way of a plastic plunger stopper. The plunger stopper is at the same time longitudinally displaceable in the hollow body by way of a plunger rod. The metering receptacle is configured such that the plunger stopper is formed of two parts, with a sealing stopper part of plastic which is rigidly positionable in the elongate hollow body and has a centric bore for the passage of the plunger rod, and with a longitudinally displaceable plunger part of lubricious plastic which is connected to the plunger rod.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing an object which has optical layers. According to the invention such a process comprises the following process steps: To a substrate of plastic material several optical layers are applied; the optical layers are applied by means of a chemical plasma-impulse vaporization (PICVC).

Abstract: The container is a glass bottle (10) encased with a plastic coating (4) from its base section (3) to a sealing rim (2) around its mouth (M) in order to protect against shattering or explosive failure. The glass bottle, preferably a glass inlet, is fillable under pressure with a sprayable medically active substance and a propellant and provided with a delivery element attached to the sealing rim. To facilitate lower injection molding temperatures and pressures and to permit autoclaving at high temperatures the glass bottle with the plastic coating (4) is made by a method which includes injecting at least one reactively cross-linkable plastic capable of being heat-softened into a mold surrounding the glass bottle and forming the plastic coating (4) by a reaction injection molding (RIM) method.

Abstract: A syringe cylinder is open to one side for accommodating a plunger and at the other side comprises a syringe connection in the form of a Luer lock connection. The Luer lock connection is formed by a Luer connection and a cylinder section with an inner thread, the cylinder section surrounding the Luer connection. On the outer circumference of the cylinder section there is arranged a ring tapering towards the connection-side end.

Abstract: The invention relates to coating a plastic substrate for producing a coated body, to a device for carrying out such a method, and to the use thereof.

Abstract: The device for transporting, filling and sterilizing medicinal containers (3) includes a rigid foamed plastic carrier plate (1) provided with a plurality of first openings (2) for receiving the respective containers (3). The first openings have respective open cross-sections adapted to corresponding cross-sections of the containers and the rigid carrier plate (1) has a predetermined thickness, so that the containers (3) are clamped and held fixed in position relative to the carrier plate and centered in the first openings (2) without rattling so that no scratch marks and/or no static charges are produced on the medicinal containers (3) during transport. The rigid foamed plastic carrier plate (1) is provided with a pore-free sealed surface that facilitates sterilization. Second openings (20), which are smaller than the first opening (2) and cannot receive the containers, are also provided in the carrier plate to facilitate sterilization in an autoclave.

Abstract: Such receptacles are integrated or may be integrated with pressure means and at the exit-side end (2) comprise a closable exit opening (3) for the liquid medical substance filled in the receptacle. With known receptacles the exit opening (3) is difficult to close in a germ-tight and fluid tight manner. Furthermore a relatively high pressure must be exerted on the medically effective substance in order to penetrate all skin layers of the patient. For avoiding these disadvantages the invention envisages integrally forming a hollow-spike-like continuation (5) of a predetermined length corresponding to the thickness of the dermis of the human being at the exit side end (2), said continuation comprising the exit opening (3) and extending the exit channel. A conventional closure cap may be placed in a simple manner on this continuation (5) in a fluid-tight and germ-tight manner.

Abstract: The process for applying a thermally attached lubricating coating on an interior wall of a cylindrical medicinal container includes applying a thermally attachable lubricant to an interior wall of the container; uniformly spreading or homogenizing the applied lubricant on the wall to form a lubricating coating and thermally attaching the lubricating coating by irradiating the lubricating coating with infrared radiation selectively in a cylindrical region of the container at elevated temperatures above a maximum operating temperature of the container. The apparatus for performing the process includes an insertable spraying device for applying the thermally attachable lubricant (3) to the interior wall of the container (1) from a supply reservoir; a device for homogenizing the lubricant to form the lubricating coating (4) and a rod-shaped infrared radiation source (5) insertable into an interior space of the container.

Abstract: A cap of a closure arrangement of a prefilled disposable syringe is only removed in advance of utilizing the syringe. The disposable syringe has a syringe body (2, 3) and an injection needle (4) integrated in this body. The closure arrangement includes a stiff plastic cap (5) pushed onto the syringe head (2) and includes a lining (6) in the interior thereof which seals the needle tip. In another syringe type without integrated needle, a connecting cone of a conical connection is formed on the syringe body. The closure arrangement includes an elastomeric closure cap (tip-cap) seated on the connecting cone. The closure cap is covered by a stiff plastic cap connected to the syringe body. In both types of disposable syringes, the plastic cap is welded or cemented while forming a desired break location (7) with the syringe body (2, 3).
