  • Publication number: 20180369489
    Abstract: A laminated gasket (13) to be used for a medical syringe is provided, which includes a main body (14) made of an elastic material, and a film (15) provided on a surface of the main body (14). The gasket (13) has a circumferential surface portion (17) to be brought into contact with an inner peripheral surface (16) of a syringe barrel (11) of the syringe. The gasket (13) further includes a projection (22) provided on a surface portion of the film (15) present in the circumferential surface portion (17) as extending circumferentially of the gasket. The projection (22) has a height of not less than 15 ?m and not greater than 55 ?m and a width of not less than 30 ?m and not greater than 75 ?m. With this arrangement, the laminated gasket is excellent in sealability.

  • Publication number: 20170296752
    Abstract: A gasket is provided, which is laminated with an inert resin film and has a reduced sliding resistance and a higher liquid sealability. The gasket (10) is used for a medical syringe (30), and includes a main body (11) made of an elastic material and an inert resin film (12) provided on a surface of the main body (11). The gasket (10) has a short cylindrical shape, and includes a plurality of annular ribs (13, 14, 15) provided on an outer circumferential surface (20) thereof and each having a sliding contact portion (16) to be kept in sliding contact with an inner peripheral surface of a syringe barrel. The plurality of annular ribs are axially arranged from a distal end to a rear end of the gasket (10). The sliding contact portion (16) of a distal annular rib (13) has a width that is 1 to 25% of a length of the outer circumferential surface (20) of the cylindrical gasket as measured axially of the gasket.

  • Patent number: 9724476
    Abstract: The present invention provides, medical rubber parts that do not physically and chemically affect the quality of preparations. The present invention relates to a medical rubber part obtained by press-molding an unvulcanized rubber mainly containing a rubber for forming a liquid-contacting portion and an unvulcanized rubber mainly containing a butyl-based rubber for forming a non-liquid-contacting portion, wherein a color difference dE between the liquid-contacting portion and the non-liquid-contacting portion is 6.0 or more in NBS units.
