Self-disinfecting medication vial cap assembly
A self-disinfecting medication vial cap assembly for a medication vial includes a needle-penetrable assembly base configured for attachment to the medication vial; an assembly cap carried by the assembly base, the assembly base and the assembly cap having a cap interior and the assembly cap positional between closed and open positions; a rupturable antiseptic pouch attached to the assembly base and the assembly cap in the cap interior; and an antiseptic contained in the antiseptic pouch. The antiseptic pouch remains intact in the closed position of the assembly cap. The antiseptic pouch ruptures and the antiseptic is discharged onto the assembly base upon movement of the assembly cap from the closed position to the open position.
Exposure-preventing cap
Provided is an exposure-preventing cap of a novel and simple structure that, by being mounted on a vial, can more reliably inhibit leaking of drug solution to an outside when pulling out and collecting drug solution in a syringe from the vial. An exposure-preventing cap, which is mounted on a mouth of a vial sealed with a rubber stopper, wherein a puncturing hole is formed in a center part of a cap-shaped housing that is attached to a mouth of the vial, and a rubber membrane is arranged at the puncturing hole so as to form an internal space between facing surfaces of the rubber membrane and the rubber stopper. The rubber membrane has a dome shape that is convex facing the rubber stopper.
CONTAINER AND CLOSURE
A closure for dispensing one or more active agents into a container comprises a sealed or sealable chamber having a breakable wall and a hollow piston slidably mounted in a piston guide. Said hollow piston comprises an outer wall having an end in the chamber and at least one ventilation aperture. Said end has a cutting formation. Said hollow piston is slidable in the piston guide between a ventilation position in which the at least one ventilation aperture allows ventilation of the chamber and a sealed position in which the at least one ventilation aperture is sealed to prevent ventilation of the chamber and a deployed position in which the cutting formation has broken through at least a portion of the breakable wall. The outer wall has a retaining formation which engages with the piston guide to releasably resist sliding of the hollow piston between the ventilation position and the sealed position and the deployed position. The hollow piston may have an outer wall, and said outer wall has an end within the chamber, facing the breakable wall, wherein the cutting end has a first edge having a cutting formation and a gap in said cutting formation.
PROTECTIVE LOCKING SYSTEMS FOR USE WITH VIALS
Protective locking systems for source vials which helps prevent mishandling of liquid medication to be removed from source vials and used in an injection device, such as a wearable injection device or a syringe. The protective locking systems include at least a key, a locking cap and a slide guard, each of which includes an opening sized at least large enough to receive a needle therethrough.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEDICATION COMPLIANCE AND DRUG ABUSE PREVENTION
A medication compliance and drug abuse prevention device for use as a cap with conventional medication container. The neck of the cap is adapted for mating with the neck of any conventional medication container. The mating of the cap neck with the container neck forms a seal therebetween and the seal can be maintained in a locked or unlocked state as per requirement. The cap has a weighment module configured to measure a mass of a medicinal substance contained inside the container. A control module determines a difference in the mass of the medicinal substance measured before and after the unlocked state and initiate one or more alert actions if the difference in mass of the medicinal substance is found to be less than or more than a prescribed mass of medicinal substance.
ADD-ON MEDICINE CARRIERS FOR MOBILE DEVICES AND METHODS THEREOF
An add-on medicine carrier comprising a container, a lid structure and an attachment mechanism. The container has at least one sidewall coupled adjacent one end to a base wall to define a chamber sized to receive at least one dose of a medication. The lid structure is configured to detachably mate adjacent to an opposing end the one or more sidewalls. The attachment mechanism is on an outer surface of the base wall to detachably secure the container to a surface of a mobile device.
Venting safety closure
A closure for use with a specimen collection container is disclosed. The closure includes a base portion having a first end adapted for engagement with an open end of the specimen collection container, and a second end adapted for receiving a portion of a syringe assembly therein. The closure also includes a luer fitting connected to the base portion and having at least one channel for venting an interior of the specimen collection container to atmosphere during introduction of a fluid specimen from the syringe assembly into the specimen collection container. The closure further includes a shielding portion connected to the base portion and adapted to transition from an open position in which fluid communication is established between the first end and the second end through the luer fitting, to a closed position in which the luer fitting is fully shielded by the shielding portion.
Locking top for vessel having a neck
A locking top for blocking a stopper in the neck of a vessel comprises an outer body and a cage that is configured to fit into and lock axially in the outer body. The cage comprises an upper ring, a plurality n of branches connected to the upper ring, n/2 median bridges and n/2 lower bridges arranged in alternation on the periphery of the cage, each connecting together two adjacent branches. When the top is in an intermediate holding position in which the stopper is partially pushed into the neck, the lower bridges surround, at least in part, a collar of the neck; the median bridges located, in an axial direction, between the upper ring and the lower bridges are designed to form an open space between them and the collar.
LOCKABLE AND MOISTURE-PROOF PILL BOX
A lockable and moisture-proof pill box has a storing base having at least one compartment for holding pills, at least one lid pivotally mounted on the storing base, and at least one sealing and pushing member. Each of the at least one lid has a sealing ring and a pushing bar integrally formed as a single part. With the at least one sealing and pushing member mounted between the storing base and the at least one lid, the at least one compartment in the storing base can be airtightly sealed by the sealing ring when being closed, so as to prevent the pills in the at least one compartment from being spilt. Moreover, each of the at least one lid can be automatically opened by push of the pushing bar. Thus, a user can take the pills held in the compartment easily and conveniently.
Flip-top dispensing closure
A flip-top dispensing closure is provided and comprises a base which is attachable to a container and a lid attached to the base by a hinge. The base includes a dispensing passage; a syringe of the type comprising a barrel and a terminal tip is insertable into the passage. The closure further comprises a flexible self-closing valve for closing the passage. In use the syringe is inserted into the passage so that the tip passes through the valve to access product, and thereafter when the syringe is withdrawn the valve wipes against the syringe tip.
