  • Patent number: 11548687
    Abstract: A transport unit for a packaging structure for a plurality of containers for substances for pharmaceutical, medical or cosmetic uses includes a tray with a plurality of seats for positioning the containers and a planar inlay part for covering the containers positioned in the seats of the tray. The inlay part is configured to cover the containers positioned in the seats and at the same time to be received completely in the tray, without protruding above an upper edge of the tray. A plurality of depressions corresponding to the seats of the tray are formed in the inlay part, in order to position the containers at their two ends lying opposite each other. A gap is formed at least partially between the inlay part, received in the tray, and side walls of the tray.

  • Patent number: 11464705
    Abstract: A holding structure for concurrently holding a plurality of containers for substances for pharmaceutical, medical or cosmetic applications includes a plurality of receptacles for receiving the containers therein at least in sections. The receptacles each have an open upper end for inserting the containers into the receptacles and a bottom end having a holding portion for limiting an axial movement of the containers in the receptacles. Guide portions are provided for guiding the containers as they are inserted into the receptacles. The guide portions are formed as guiding ribs extending in the longitudinal direction of the receptacles. Lead-in bevels are formed at upper ends of the guiding ribs which are inclined relative to the guiding ribs.

  • Patent number: 11406984
    Abstract: A transport structure for accommodating a plurality of vials for pharmaceutical, medical or cosmetic use under non-sterile conditions is formed by an accommodation member and by a bearing member releasably connected thereto. The accommodation member comprises a plurality of frustro-conical receptacles in a regular arrangement so that the vials can be accommodated upright and while preventing a direct contact between adjacent vials in the receptacles of the accommodation member. The transport structure comprises latching structures for releasable latching of the accommodation member with the bearing member.

  • Publication number: 20160001015
    Abstract: A closure piece for closing a distal opening of a syringe cone of a syringe body includes a fastening element which is or can be arranged on the syringe body about the distal opening, and a closure cap which closes the distal opening in a sealed manner and which is connected releasably to the fastening element. The closure cap, in the area of the fastening element, is connected by material bonding to the fastening element by at least one connection point or one connection surface, and the closure cap includes a hard area and an elastomer part. The elastomer part securely closes the distal opening by being placed on or enclosing a short portion in an area of a tip of the distal opening.

  • Patent number: 8992623
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a stemless shoulder prosthesis comprising a fixation device for fixing the prosthesis to a resected humerus bone, the fixation device comprising a base portion (11, 31, 32) and anchoring means (12, 12?), the base portion (11, 31, 32) having a distal side adapted to contact a resection plane of the bone and a proximal side for carrying a humeral head. The anchoring means (12, 12?) are connected to the distal side of the base portion (11, 31, 32) and adapted to fix the prosthesis to the bone. The anchoring means (12, 12?) define a central axis (C), wherein the anchoring means (12, 12?) comprise a plurality of protrusions (13, 13?, 13a, 13b, 13c) projecting from the base portion (11, 31, 32), each protrusion (13, 13?, 13a, 13b, 13c) extending between an inner end (I) and an outer end (O). The protrusions (13, 13?, 13a, 13b, 13c) define a free central space (F) around the central axis (C).
