  • Patent number: 9604012
    Abstract: A barrel with a cap, a pre-filled syringe, and a cap with a connector that accommodate connection-receiving bodies of the Luer lock type and of the slip-in type, are provided. Some versions include: a connector (3) detachably coupled to a cap (2) so as to be separated from the barrel (1) together with the cap (2) when the connector (3) is located at an initial position where the connector (3) is attached to a barrel (1) via the cap (2); and a connector-side engaging part (33) that engages a barrel-side engaging part (13) of the barrel (1) when the connector (3) is located at an attached position that is closer to a proximal end in an axial direction of the barrel (1) than the initial position, allowing the connector (3) to remain attached to the barrel (1) by being detached from the cap (2) separated from a nozzle (11).

  • Publication number: 20170056923
    Abstract: Provided is a syringe with which it is possible to hold with greater stability a liquid inside the barrel while maintaining the slidability and air-tightness between the barrel and the gasket without requiring fixation of silicone oil, and which is excellent in terms of accuracy of visual inspection. The syringe has a resin barrel, a gasket slidably inserted inside the barrel, a plunger attached to the gasket, and a silicone film obtained by applying silicone oil having a kinematic viscosity of 500 to 10,000 cSt over the inner peripheral surface of the barrel in an amount of 5 to 50 ?g per 1 cm2 of area.

  • Publication number: 20140025017
    Abstract: The present invention provides a barrel with a cap, a pre-filled syringe, and a cap with a connector that are available for both connection-receiving bodies of the Luer lock type and connection-receiving bodies of the slip-in type. The present invention is characterized by including: a connector (3) that is detachably coupled to a cap (2) so as to be separated from the barrel (1) together with the cap (2) when the connector (3) is located at an initial position where the connector (3) is attached to a barrel (1) via the cap (2); and a connector-side engaging part 33 that engages a barrel-side engaging part (13) of the barrel (1) when the connector (3) is located at an attached position that is located closer to a proximal end in an axial direction of the barrel (1) than the initial position is, thereby allowing the connector (3) to remain attached to the barrel (1) by being detached from the cap (2) separated from a nozzle (11).

  • Publication number: 20120109072
    Abstract: There is provided a syringe capable of preventing the occurrence of “link-thread” from the distal end nozzle when the cap is pulled out, even in the case where the medicinal liquid filled has a high viscosity. The inner peripheral surface (631) of the seal cap (63) in the cap (6) is brought into close contact with the outer peripheral surface (214) of the distal end side portion of the distal end nozzle (21) in the barrel (2) so that the distal end opening (211) is hermetically closed off. At the same time, the outer peripheral side of the luer lock adapter (22) is covered with the outer tubular cover (62) of the cap. The bulge part (213) is formed in the distal end side portion of the inner aperture (212) in the distal end nozzle so that the aperture diameter (d) of the distal end opening is reduced to a small aperture diameter and, in addition, the length of seal (s) by the seal cap (63) is made to be a relatively short, predetermined length.

  • Publication number: 20110190709
    Abstract: There is provided a injector in which a backstop function is realized by a collar part at a position situated away from a gasket in the direction of the side of the proximal end and adequate sterilization can be carried out, with a plunger rod (in which the collar part is formed) assembled, while aiming to secure airtightness. (A backstop function is realized by means of a collar part at a position situated away from the gasket in the direction of the side of the proximal end, thereby providing a injector capable of being adequately sterilized with a plunger rod (in which the collar part is formed) assembled, while aiming to secure airtightness.) A gasket (3) is inserted from a proximal end opening (22) of a barrel (2). Next, a plunger rod (4) is inserted as to establish connection of its distal end and the gasket (3). Then, a finger grip (5) is mounted to a flange (23).
