  • Patent number: 7938815
    Abstract: An object of the present device is to provide a cover capable of preventing the administration of unmixed medicaments to a patient. The cover for being mounted on a multi-compartment infusion bag of the present device is a cover for being mounted on a multi-compartment infusion bag including a plurality of compartments partitioned by at least one easily peelable partitioning seal portion which is opened in response to an increase in the internal pressure of at least one of the plurality of compartments induced by pressing said at least one of the plurality of compartments. The cover has a pair of pinch members that pinch at least one of the plurality compartments. The pair of pinch members has engaging elements that engage each other to maintain a pinching state of the pair of pinch members until the pinching state is released in response to an increase in the internal pressure of said at least one of the compartments so that the suspension portion can be used.

  • Publication number: 20070066941
    Abstract: An inventive sealing body is a generally disk-like sealing body composed of two or more types of thermoplastic elastomers having different hardnesses, and comprises at least a needle stick part extended in axial direction and an outer edge part surrounding the needle stick part. The outer edge part has a higher hardness than that of the needle stick part. More specifically, a difference in JIS-A hardness between the outer edge part and the needle stick part, for example, is 5 to 15. The sealing body is tightly fitted in a generally cylindrical outer frame body composed of a rigid plastic to provide a cap. The cap is welded to a mouth part of a plastic container or the mouth part is tightly sealed with the sealing body to provide a medical container.

  • Publication number: 20060010651
    Abstract: This invention provides a novel structure for forming a suspender to be attached to an article. The suspender 12 is partly adhered to an article 13 to be suspended with an adhesive 14 or the like. The suspender 12 can be stretched in a length direction and is composed of a strip made of plastics film having properties of rarely shrinking after elongation. The suspender is stretched when used.

  • Patent number: 5478337
    Abstract: An outer tube having a double-ended needle accommodated therein upwardly and downwardly slidably is hermetically, removably but fixedly joined to an opening seal portion of a dissolving liquid container. An inner tube having a medicine-containing vial accommodated therein in an inverted state is joined to an upper end of the outer tube so as to be movable from a joined position of shallow fit to a joined position of deep fit. The joint between the outer and inner tubes is provided with a seal ring for holding the interior of the tubes airtight and a restraining mechanism for holding the inner tube in the joined position of shallow fit. The medicine container thus constructed is excellent in impact resistance and shakeproofness for transport and storage, usable by a facilitated mixing procedure for preparing a medicinal solution, simple in overall structure and disposable as separated into components after use.
