A syringe is disclosed. The syringe comprises a plunger and a barrel. The plunger can be rotated relative to the barrel to lock, unlock and/or translate the components relative to each other.

A method for preparing a pre-filled multi-chamber injection system includes providing an injection system body, the injection system body defining an open proximal end, a body interior, and an open distal end. The method also includes introducing a first substance into a distal end of the body interior. The method further includes disposing a distal stopper member in the body interior, the distal stopper member and the injection system body defining proximal and distal chambers in the body interior. Moreover, the method includes introducing a second substance into the body interior. In addition, the method includes disposing a proximal stopper member in the body interior. The method also includes inserting an elongate member at least partially into the body interior, the elongate member having a plurality of flow channels for fluidly coupling the proximal and distal chambers. The method further includes coupling a plunger member to the proximal stopper member.

Syringes are described herein. A syringe includes a syringe body, a first plunger, a biasing member, and a retention member. The syringe body defines a syringe cavity and a syringe port, wherein the syringe port is in fluid communication with the syringe cavity. The first plunger comprises a first plunger shaft extending from the first plunger, the first plunger disposed within the syringe cavity and defining a first chamber in the syringe cavity, wherein the first chamber is in fluid communication with the syringe port. The biasing member is coupled to the first plunger shaft, wherein the biasing member urges the first plunger to advance toward the syringe port. The retention mechanism prevents the biasing member from advancing the first plunger in an engaged position and permits the biasing member to advance the first plunger in a released position.

Various systems and methods for the pressure-regulated transfer of medical fluids are disclosed. The system can include an adapter assembly that connects with a medical container and with a syringe assembly. The syringe assembly can include a first reservoir and a second reservoir. In various embodiments, when the adapter assembly and the syringe assembly are coupled, the first reservoir and the container can exchange regulating fluid and the second reservoir and the container can exchange medical liquid from the medical container.

Medical device assemblies capable of aspirating liquid into a syringe barrel or other medical devices while evacuating any air from the syringe are described. An exemplary medical device includes a syringe barrel, plunger rod and stopper assembly having an air permeable and liquid impermeable porous portion and structure for forming a vacuum within either the stopper or the plunger rod. Described is a medical device including a syringe barrel, plunger rod and stopper assembly having an air permeable and liquid impermeable porous portion and structure for forming a vacuum within chamber between the stopper and plunger rod wherein the plunger rod includes a sealing edge and is moveable relative to the stopper. Exemplary medical devices may include a vent for allowing air that permeates through the porous portion to escape to atmosphere. Methods for aspirating a syringe barrel with a liquid are also provided.

A method for administering chemotherapy medicament, which comprises providing a closed-system drug administration kit, performing sterile catheterization on a patient by placing at least the distal tip of the catheter into the patient's bladder to drain the bladder, inserting a syringe containing the medicament into a safety adapter at a proximal end of the catheter to prevent leakage during attachment, injecting the medicament into the bladder with the injector through the adapter and the drain lumen without leakage of the medicament from the patient into an environment while assessing a pain level of the patient, removing the syringe and closing the catheter to hold the medicament in the bladder for a given treatment time, and, after the given treatment time, draining the medicament out of the bladder with a medicament pressure reservoir through the catheter and into the medicament pressure reservoir for disposal of the kit.

A manufacturing method of two-chamber type combined container-syringe including: a vacuum plugging process (S2) of eliminating air bubbles from the dissolving solution of the dissolving solution-filled cartridge and sealing the dissolving solution with a middle stopper after the dissolving solution filling process (S1); a vacuum plugging process (S2) has a first cooling processing (S21) of cooling the inside of a vacuum plugging equipment in which a dissolving solution-filled cartridge is disposed to a cooling temperature that does not freeze the dissolving solution, a first decompression processing (S23) of decreasing a pressure inside the vacuum plugging equipment while the vacuum plugging equipment maintains the cooling temperature after the first cooling processing (S21), and a middle stopper pushing processing (S24) of pushing the middle stopper downward and bringing the middle stopper into contact with the dissolving solution after the first decompression processing (S23). The dissolving solution can be easily filled in a bubble-free state in the two-chamber type combined container-syringe.

Embodiments disclosed herein include needle-free syringe and cap assemblies and filling tub systems. One embodiment of filling tub system includes a filling tub having exterior walls and a floor. The floor is formed into a plurality of sockets configured to receive and support a plurality of cap and syringe body assemblies, with each cap and syringe assembly received in a separate socket. Furthermore, each socket is configured to receive and support a syringe and cap assembly with contact only between one or more surfaces of the socket and selected outer surfaces of the cap. Methods of pre-filling a quantity of needle-free syringes are also disclosed.

The present relates to a filter needle coupled between a fixation member having a needle for injecting a medical fluid after filtering foreign substances contained in the medical fluid and a disposable syringe, the filter needle includes an outer housing having a front end portion to which the fixation member is coupled and a rear end portion to which the disposable syringe is coupled and a filtering unit which is disposed inside the outer housing, and in which a medical fluid supplied from the fixation member to the disposable syringe is passed through as is, while a medical fluid supplied from the disposable syringe to the fixation member is filtered.

Provided are rapidly cross-linkable silicone compositions, systems, kits, and methods for filling implanted medical devices in situ, the implanted medical devices, including for example, body implants and tissue expanders, the compositions including a platinum divinyl disiloxane complex; a low viscosity vinyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane; a low viscosity hydride terminated polydimethylsiloxane; and a silicone cross-linker, where the rapidly cross-linkable silicone composition has a viscosity of ≤150 cPs for ≥1 min. post-preparation and ≤300 cPs≤5 min. post-preparation, at ambient temperature.
