Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of at least one flexible plastic container, according to which method each container (10) comprises two separate walls (12, 13) facing one another joined at their circumference by a sealed peripheral edge (14), said separate walls defining a storage space of the container (10).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a connector for a container for medical use intended to administer fluid, the connector including a main body defining an inner channel for fluid to pass through and at least one continuous or discontinuous bead, projecting inside the channel. The method includes: a) producing a tubular conduit with no bead projecting inside the channel, b) inserting at least partially into the tubular conduit a mandrel having, on its outer surface, at least one continuous or discontinuous annular recess, whose dimensions and shape correspond to those of a continuous or discontinuous bead to be formed in the inner channel, c) partially heating the tubular conduit, the part including at least the conduit portion placed at the at least one recess when the mandrel has been positioned in the tubular conduit, such that the material of the tubular conduit fills the at least one recess.

Abstract: A fluid transfer system includes a Luer female connector having a main body containing an internal channel for passage of fluids and a collar surrounding at least a part of the end of the main body, and a Luer male connector having a main body with a longitudinal internal opening. The main body of the female connector contains a first threading on at least a part of the external surface of that portion that is surrounded by the collar, located at least in part facing an internal surface of the collar; one of the ends of the main body of the Luer male connector contains a second threading on at least a part of its internal surface delineating the longitudinal internal opening, which engages into and fits in the first threading to ensure joining between the Luer male and female connectors.

Abstract: A system for transferring medical fluid includes a male Luer connector and a female Luer connector, the male Luer connector including a collar surrounding at least part of a male conical portion whose outer surface is supported against the female conical connection surface of the female Luer connector during the assembly of the connectors. The maximum inside diameter at the entrance to the collar of the male Luer connector is strictly less than the smallest outside diameter of a standard female Luer connector or one according to ISO 594-2. The female Luer connector includes a collar surrounding at least part of the female conical connection, this collar having an inside diameter greater than or equal to the outside diameter of the collar of the male Luer connector, to engage and at least partially cover the collar of this male Luer connector during the assembly of the connectors.

Abstract: A luer connector, a medical connector for a receptacle having a pierceable stopper and a transfer set including such a luer connector. This luer connector comprises an internal conduit (11) for a fluid to pass, elements (8) of connection to a second luer connector (16) having a perforator (21), these connection elements (8) being placed at one of its ends. This end also includes a continuous rim (24) forming a projection in the conduit (11) so as to provide a seal thereon when the perforator (21) is introduced into the conduit with a view to coupling these connectors (7, 16). A breakable membrane (10) is also placed in the conduit (1i) so as to be separated when the second luer connector (16) is coupled to this luer connector.

Abstract: A method and a set for transferring fluid between a first container a second container. The first container is connected to an end of a first transfer body, a first sealing member preventing the fluid communication between these two elements. The second container is closed by a second sealing member. The second container is assembled with a fastening member provided at an end of a second transfer body which is in an inactivated position of the transfer set wherein at least a part of this body is partially inserted within the other end of the first transfer body. Each transfer body has one central passage coaxial to accommodate at least one end of a mobile piercing member. The part of the second transfer body moves along an axis from the inactivated position to an activated position of the transfer set wherein the fluid communication between these two containers is established.

Abstract: A transfer set in particular for delivering a mixture of liquids for medical purposes, from a so-called flexible main bag containing a first liquid and from at least a so-called auxiliary bag containing a second liquid, connectable to the main bag through a pair of Luer-Lock connectors respectively male and female. Each of the two connectors has, at one end, a frangible section engaged in the end of a tubing connected to one of the bags and, at the other end, elements for being coupled to the other connector, provided with elements for locking the connectors in coupled position. The invention is useful for delivering liquids for medical purposes.
