  • Patent number: 11027065
    Abstract: A barrel is provided having open proximal end and a closed distal end, and at least one groove in an interior wall thereof. The groove(s) define a length extending a distance from the open end of the barrel toward the distal end of the barrel and defining a substantially constant depth and width along the length thereof. A piston is in sealing engagement with the interior wall of the barrel. The groove(s) permits fluid to bypass the piston when positioned along the groove(s). At least a portion of the piston is positioned distally from the groove(s), thereby sealing substance within the barrel.

  • Patent number: 9022990
    Abstract: A needle safety shield 10 for use with a syringe 10 having a barrel 14, a needle and a plunger rod 16. The safety shield 10 has a first tube 22. A second tube 26 is arranged for sliding movement within the first tube 22. A pin 46 is connected to one of the first and second tubes 22, 26. An activation ring 32 has a stop 72. A drive spring 34 biases the activation ring 32 in a proximal direction to place the stop 72 in engagement with the pin 46 to retain the first and second tubes 22, 26 in a retracted configuration. The movement of the plunger rod 16 to engage the activation ring 32 compresses the drive spring 34, moving the activation ring 32 distally, and moving the stop 72 out of engagement with the pin 46, allowing the drive spring 34 to move the first and second tubes 22, 26 into an extended configuration.

  • Patent number: 8197459
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a transfer device for a container whose interior is under negative pressure and which is closed by means of an elastic stopper. The device has a receiving cap and a piercing mandril for piercing the stopper. Relative to its direction of piercing, the piercing mandril is provided with a front piercing portion and with a rear sealing portion which is of greater diameter. In the position in which a bead of the container is inserted into the receiving cap, the sealing portion contacts the stopper. In this way, a tear in the stopper, which tear has been formed by eccentric application of the device onto the container, can be sealed off.

  • Patent number: 7559919
    Abstract: A needle shield is removably mountable to a syringe to protect a user from inadvertent needle pricks and limit contamination of a needle of the syringe. The needle shield includes a plug having an external surface and a shell having an inner surface defining a cavity therein. The plug is positioned within the cavity and a portion of the external surface of the plug is in contact with the inner surface of the shell at a contact area. The plug is non-removably bonded to the shell in the contact area by melting a portion of the shell and the plug in the contact area through application of radiation energy. A securing ring may alternatively be fixed to the shell through the application of radiation energy to secure a shoulder of the plug between the ring and a rib of the shell. The radiation energy is preferably applied by laser welding.

  • Patent number: 7491197
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a fluid transfer device, for example, for medical fluids. The device includes a housing, two piercing elements mounted in the housing, and a slide arranged between the piercing elements. The slide may be displaced with respect to the piercing elements such that, in a first position, a flow connection is established between the two piercing elements, and, in a second position, a flow connection is established between one of the piercing elements and a lateral opening of the housing. In the area of the lateral opening, the housing may have a connector for insertion of a syringe cone of a syringe. When the syringe cone is inserted into the connector, the front end of the syringe cone may move the slide from the first position to the second position.

  • Patent number: 7431157
    Abstract: This packaging for sterile products or products intended to be sterilized by a gas, for example a gas of the ETO type, comprises a tub (2) made of plastic and a cover sheet (14) made of selectively impervious material, fixed to the tub (2) so as to seal the latter imperviously. According to the invention, the packaging comprises a screen (20, 22; 24, 26; 26) against electron radiation (E), placed along the cover sheet (14) on the inside of the tub (2) and dimensioned in such a way as to extend above the products (10) to be sterilized and so as to delimit on the cover sheet (14) a peripheral zone (14a) for fixing this cover sheet (14) to the tub (2).

  • Patent number: 7428807
    Abstract: A vacuum packaging system for transporting a plurality of medical containers including a tray that supports the medical containers and an air impervious flexible film defining an internal cavity. The air impervious flexible film completely surrounds the tray and the medical containers. The internal cavity is evacuated to a predetermined vacuum level below atmospheric pressure. A method for packaging the plurality of medical containers for transportation in the tray includes inserting the medical containers into the tray, inserting the tray filled with medical containers into the internal cavity, evacuating the internal cavity to a predetermined vacuum pressure and sealing the flexible film such that the predetermined vacuum pressure is generally maintained in the internal cavity.

  • Patent number: 7044125
    Abstract: A drug delivery system for administering preset doses of a substance such as a drug, vaccine or the like. The drug delivery system includes a holder and a pre-filled drug container such as a syringe which is retained in the holder. The drug container includes a barrel for containing the substance, a movable stopper situated within the barrel, and a blunt end having an opening through which the substance within the barrel can be expelled. The holder includes a distal portion and a proximal portion, each configured to accommodate the drug container, with the distal portion being able to be assembled to the proximal portion, which acts as a plunger rod during activation of the delivery system. A plurality of slots are provided on the holder that permit multiple equal doses of the substance to be administered to each nostril of the patient.
