Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a hollow injection-moulded part, in particular a primary packaging means for medical applications by an injection moulding method, comprising the following method steps: a) Providing a first female die tool having a first mould cavity and a mould core formed as a male die tool; b) Introducing a mould core into the first mould cavity so that a first cavity is formed and the mould core extends beyond the mould cavity in the axial direction (X), thereby bringing the mould core into operative contact with the first female die tool and/or with a receiving member; c) Injecting a first plastic material into the first cavity so that a first portion of the injection-moulded part is formed; d) Transferring the first portion of the injection-moulded part to a second cavity; e) Injecting a second plastic material into the second cavity so that a second portion is formed directly on the first portion of the injection-moulded part.

Abstract: A port for a catheter includes a housing, a chamber arranged in the housing for receiving a medically active substance, a connecting piece for connecting the catheter to produce a flow connection between the chamber and the catheter, and at least one lever, mounted to be pivotable about a pivot axis and realized to allow the catheter to be fitted onto the connecting piece in a first pivot position and to hold the catheter in a clamping manner on the connecting piece in a second pivot position. The at least one lever has different first and second portions. The first portion carries a latching device for latching the at least one lever with the housing and/or with a first portion of a further lever in the second pivot position. The second portion has a clamping device for holding the catheter in the clamping manner in the second pivot position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a port for a catheter comprising a housing (10, 11), a chamber (120) disposed in the housing (10, 11) in order to accommodate a medical active substance, a connecting piece (122) for connection of a catheter (2), in order to produce a flow connection between the chamber (120) and the catheter (2), and at least one lever (14, 15) which is mounted pivotably about a pivot axis (102, 103) of the housing (10, 11), wherein the at least one lever (14, 15) is designed such that, in a first pivot position, the lever allows application of the catheter (2) to the connecting piece (122) and, in a second pivot position, the lever holds the catheter (2) in a clamping manner on the connecting piece (122).

Abstract: The present hinged shield assembly is configured to shield a needle to prevent needlesticks. The assembly comprises a base including a hinge, a first shield and a second shield. The first shield extends from the base and at least partially surrounds the second shield. The first and second shields are configured to pivot about the hinge. In some embodiments a distal end of the first shield is open. In other embodiments the first and second shields include sidewalls with channels extending therealong. The first and second shields are rotatable with respect to one another such that the channels in each may be aligned. In other embodiments the first and second shields are translatable and rotatable with respect to one another.

Abstract: A protective cap coupled to a syringe having a needle attached thereto. The protective cap may be pivoted to a position in alignment with the needle so that the protective cap substantially envelops the needle. A plug may be inserted into the cap to envelop or capture the needle within a hollow body of the plug to secure at least a tip of the needle.

Abstract: A hinged cap device for use with a syringe includes a base defining an interior cavity for mounting to a tip, a cap connected to the base by a living hinge and an outer shell positioned over the cap. The hinged cap device is moveable from an unlocked position, wherein the cap is rotated away from the needle hub to expose a needle, to a temporary locked position, wherein the outer shell is latched onto the cap to prevent the cap from being displaced from the needle hub; and from the unlocked position to a permanently locked position, wherein the needle is secured within the cap. A temporary locking mechanism is on the outer shell to prevent the displacement of the cap from the needle. A permanent locking mechanism located on the cap and comprises a pin projected from a button lock of one side wall of the cap and a locking bore located on a second side wall of the cap, wherein the pin is engageable within the locking bore to secure the needle within the cap.
