Abstract: The present invention relates to a protector screen for use against arthropods, comprising a sheet (11) having a core made from glass or a plastic material, which is at least partially transparent, and comprising a plurality of ventilation holes (12), each of said ventilation holes being designed to prevent arthropods from passing therethrough. At least a portion of each ventilation hole is closed by a lateral wall or by contiguous lateral walls forming a single piece that is open at the ends thereof. The ventilation holes (12) are designed such that a gaseous fluid, such as air, can pass through the screen (10), while optimising light transmission and optionally cooling the fluid passing through the screen.

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 Luer male and female connectors. The male connector has a main body with a longitudinal internal opening and an internal threading; the female connector has a main body containing an internal channel for the passage of fluids, a collar that surrounds at least a portion of an end of the main body, and external threading on the portion that is surrounded by the collar. The corresponding threadings are configured to engage and ensure a secure fit between the male and female connectors. An external surface of the male connector at the end where the threading is located forms a conical male portion, the internal surface of the collar of the female connector forms a conical female connecting surface, and the conical male portion is configured to fit against the conical female connecting surface and onto the collar when the male and female connectors are fitted together.

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.
