Abstract: This packaging device includes a housing delimiting a storing chamber. The storing chamber includes a distribution aperture configured to allow passage of one of said medical containers outside the housing so as to allow a user to pick up this medical container. The packaging device also includes a sharps container positioned inside the storing chamber of the housing in a pre-use position, the sharps container being removable from the storing chamber so as to be put outside the housing in a collecting position wherein the sharps container allows collection of the used medical containers. The sharps container is configured to contain the plurality of medical containers in the pre-use position and comprises a spill-out window configured to allow the medical containers to fall down into the storing chamber when the sharps container is moved from the pre-use position to the collecting position.

Abstract: A multi-layer bag comprising a porous portion configured to allow a sterilizing gas to penetrate into the bag and a gas-impervious portion, characterized in that the gas-impervious portion comprises an outer layer, an inner layer and an intermediate layer integrally formed together so that the intermediate layer is sealingly enclosed between the outer layer and the inner layer so as to be physically isolated from inner and outer environment of the bag, and the intermediate layer comprises a matrix and at least one pigment distributed within the matrix, the pigment being configured to change at least one optical property in reaction to an environment change resulting from a damage of the outer and/or inner layer.

Abstract: A medical injection system comprising: a syringe provided with a barrel, a stopper and an injection needle; a plunger rod which engages with the stopper; an injection lock preventing relative movement of the plunger rod with respect to the barrel; and a needle guard comprising a trigger portion and configured to slidably engage the barrel so as to define a first position covering the injection needle and a second position not covering a predetermined portion of the injection needle. The trigger portion is adapted to disengage the injection lock from the plunger rod when the needle guard moves from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: This packaging device comprises a first stage (2a) of supporting units (20) configured to support a first plurality of medical containers (100a) in a first plane, a second stage (2b) of supporting units (20) configured to support a second plurality of medical containers (100b) in a second plane parallel to said first plane, the first plane and the second plane being spaced apart from each other so that the distal ends (106) of the first plurality of medical containers (100a) extend between medical containers of the second plurality of medical containers (100b), and the supporting units (20) of the first and second stages (2a, 2b) being configured so that the medical containers of the first and second pluralities of medical containers (100a, 100b) are oriented in a same direction. The first stage (2a) of supporting units (20) is formed by a first plate-shaped nest and the second stage (2b) of supporting units (20) is formed by a second plate-shaped nest.
