The present disclosure is directed to a flexible cap for a medical fitting, such as a luer-lock fitting. The flexible cap includes a cap component defining a top surface, a cylindrical wall extending opposite from the top surface of the cap component, and an inner sealing surface. The cylindrical wall defines a hollow interior configured to receive an internal tapered sealing wall of a male connector of the medical fitting so as to form a seal with an outer surface of the tapered sealing wall. Further, the inner sealing surface of the flexible cap is configured within the hollow interior. Thus, when the tapered sealing wall of the male connector of the medical fitting is received within the hollow interior of the cylindrical wall, the inner sealing surface of the flexible cap seals the fluid passageway of the tapered sealing wall.

The invention relates to a medical hollow container (1) made of glass, the medical hollow container (1) having a fastening portion (3) and a receiving portion (5), the fastening portion (3) having a shoulder region (7) and having a head region (9), and the head region (9) having an opening (11) on which a closure cap (13) can be arranged. It is provided that the fastening portion (3) has at least one rotation inhibiting structure (15) which is designed to at least inhibit relative rotation between the medical hollow container (1) and the closure cap (13) with respect to each other, the rotation inhibiting structure (15) having at least one rotation inhibiting element (17), the at least one rotation inhibiting element (17) being at least one elevation and/or at least one depression, and/or being designed as a non-circular shape of the opening (11) and/or a non-circular edge of the opening (11).

A drug delivery device including a housing, a drug storage container, and a removable cap is provided. The removable cap may be configured to be removably coupled with the housing such that the removable cap has a storage position where the removable cap is coupled with the housing and at least partially covering an opening in the housing and a removed position where the removable cap is not coupled with the housing. The removable cap may include an outer portion, an inner portion, and a gap separating at least a portion of the inner portion and at least a portion of the outer portion such that the at least a portion of the outer portion is allowed to bend with respect to the at least a portion of the inner portion if the at least a portion of the outer portion is subjected to an external force. Additionally or alternatively, the removable cap may be configured such that an external force applied to the removable cap induces at least one bending moment in a proximal end and/or a distal end of the removable cap.

One aspect relates to a device for mixing a polymethyl methacrylate bone cement formed of two starting components and for storing the starting components of the bone cement. The device has a tubular cartridge with a cylindrical interior. A powder is contained in a front of the cartridge and a container containing a monomer liquid is arranged in a rear of the cartridge. A discharge piston is arranged between the container and the powder, and a conveying piston is on the side of the container opposite the discharge piston. The discharge piston and the conveying piston are arranged in the interior of the cartridge movably in the longitudinal direction. A conduit is provided that connects the front part and the rear part of the interior of the cartridge to one another in a manner permeable for the monomer liquid and for gases and which is impermeable for the powder.

The sterilizing tool is configured to wipe debris from and to sterilize and/or dry a working end-site of medical device; using a wiping, twisting, dabbing, push/pull, and/or screwing motion around all of the surface aspects of the device to be sterilized. Additionally, the sterilizing tool is configured to form fit to the surfaces of the end-site and to apply an inclusive layer of an anti-pathogenic agent to the inner and outer surfaces of the working end-site. The sterilizing tool may be frictionally engaged with and retained on the working end-site until removed and the end-site is ready for use. The sterilizing tool is intended for a one time, single use, disposable application.

A medicament container for a syringe or carpule has a base body surrounding an interior at least in sections. The base body has a central axis and a proximal opening. An end plug is arranged in the interior such that the end plug in the interior is displaceable along the central axis and separates a first proximal region of the interior from a second distal region of the interior. A plug securing part is at least partially insertable into the second region through the proximal opening. When inserted into the interior, the plug securing part is arranged closer to the proximal opening than the end plug and is fixedly held in the interior by the positive and/or non-positive connection at least in a holding area.

An elastic and sliding valvular joint for pre-filled syringes, which comprises a single chamber with an injectable product or two chambers that contain isolated products to be mixed before the injection is described. The valvular joint acts as a temporary closure, which prevents the internal chamber from communicating with the outside, or between both internal chambers. The joint comprises two discoid cooperative elements arranged on the syringe and with its edge against the internal surface: an elastic discoid plug and a sliding receiving discoid seat. The receiving discoid seat includes a central passage tube facing the hollow cylinder, and the elastic base of the plug fits in a removable manner inside a cylindrical cavity of the opening of the central passage tube of the seat.

An enteral dosing control coupling comprising a cylindrical collar defining a hollow internal chamber and a lumen extension tip projecting axially into the internal chamber, the lumen extension tip defining an internal lumen extending therethrough. In example forms, the lumen extension tip is integrally formed with the cylindrical collar. In other example forms, the lumen extension tip is a separate piece and is removably engageable within the cylindrical collar. In some example forms, the present invention relates to syringes, connectors, couplings, etc. having ISO 80369-3 formatted couplings. In other example forms, the present invention relates to connectors, couplings, etc. for adapting coupling formats other than the ISO 80369-3 coupling format to the ISO 80369-3 coupling format.

The present disclosure relates to the field of medical devices generally and specifically, to endoscopic systems and methods for resection of malignant and pre-malignant lesions within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In particular, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for delivering injectable compositions between tissue layers (e.g., between the muscularis and submucosa layers) to elevate and stabilize the lesion for fast and efficient resection.

A fluid cartridge assembly includes a fluid cartridge and a cap. The fluid cartridge includes a cartridge body and a flange extending from the cartridge body. The cap includes a locking latch, first and second squeeze handles, and a lever. The locking latch is configured to engage the flange of the fluid cartridge to couple the cap to the cartridge. The first squeeze handle being operatively coupled to said locking latch and configured to be depressed in a radially inward direction toward said second squeeze handle causing said locking latch to move in a radially outward direction. The lever is coupled to at least one of the first and second squeeze handles and configured to move between two positions. In one position the squeeze handles are substantially prevented from moving in the radially inward direction, and in another position the squeeze handles can move freely in the radially inward direction.
