SYRINGE
Described herein are syringe caps including a plug portion and a protruding member extending from one end of the plug portion. The protruding member can extend a length greater than a depth of an accumulated component in the syringe.
Indicator member of low strength resistance for a tamper evident closure
A tamper evident closure, intended primarily for a luer-slip or like frictional connection between one or more components associated with the closure and a syringe or other medical device, includes a housing having an open end and a tip cap disposed within the housing. An indicator member is connected to the housing in at least partially covering relation to the open end and includes an access opening disposed in accessible relation with the tip cap. A cover is removably disposed in overlying engagement with at least a portion of said indicator member in covering relation to the access opening. The indicator member has an inner segment disposed in contiguous surrounding relation to the access opening and has a reduced breakaway resistance, capable of being easily ruptured, ripped or torn during passage of said tip cap through the access opening, concurrent to the tip cap being connected to the medical device.
Flow Communication Unit With Unconnected and Connected Configuration
A flow communication unit (240, 540, 640, 740, 840, 940, 1040, 1140, 1240) for establishing flow communication from a multi-use drug delivery device adapted for extended use, to a flow conducting device, wherein the drug delivery device comprises a reservoir comprising multiple doses of a liquid drug formulation, wherein the reservoir is adapted to pressurize the liquid drug formulation, wherein the flow conducting device (230) is adapted for conducting the drug to the subcutaneous tissue of a subject, wherein the flow communication unit is adapted for being in an unconnected and a connected configuration, whereby the flow communication unit (240, 540, 640, 740, 840, 940, 1040, 1140, 1240) is adapted to enable the extended use of the multi-use drug delivery device.
CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY FOR CONNECTING MEDICAL LINES COMPRISING A CAP ELEMENT
A connector assembly for connecting medical lines (3, 4) to each other comprises a first connector (1) having an insertion shaft (12) to be inserted, along an insertion direction (I), into an insertion opening (22) of a second connector (2) for forming a fluid connection between the medical lines (3, 4), the insertion shaft (12) comprising a fluid channel (120) allowing fluid to flow in between the first connector (1) and the second connector (2). Herein, a cap element (14) is attachable to the first connector (1) for closing the fluid channel (120) towards the outside in a state in which the first connector (1) is not connected to the second connector (2), the first connector (1) having a first retention device (123) and the cap element (14) having a second retention device (143), the first retention device (123) and the second retention device (143) being configured to form a positive locking engagement in between the cap element (14) and the first connector (1) along the insertion direction (I).
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SUBMUCOSAL TISSUE SEPARATION
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.

Plug for placing on a connection element of a medical syringe
The invention relates to a plug for placing on a connection element (1) of a medical syringe, which is connectable to the connection element (1), the plug (2) comprising a through-duct (3) and being formed free of further connectivity or connection elements.
DEVICE PARTICULARLY FOR MEDICAL USE AND STERILIZATION AND FILLING METHODS OF SUCH A DEVICE
The present invention relates to a device (100) comprising a body (1) defining a containment volume (2) for a fluid for medical use and equipped with a terminal (3) which defines a conduit (4) configured to put the containment volume (2) into communication with the outside. The device (100) comprises a cap support (10) integral with the body (1) and disposed outside the containment volume (2), the cap support (10) defining an internal volume (11) housing the terminal (3). The device (100) comprises a tip cap (20) associable with the cap support (10) by first constraint means (30) and associable with the terminal (3) by second constraint means (31). The tip cap (20) is configured to assume at least a first stable position and a second stable position.
In the first stable position, the tip cap (20) is integral with the cap support (10), in the first stable position a first portion (21) of the tip cap (20) being housed in the internal volume (11) of the cap support (10) and a second portion (22) of the tip cap (20) emerging from the internal volume (11) of the cap support (10). In the second stable position, the tip cap (20) is integral with the terminal (3) and is completely housed in the internal volume (11) of the cap support (10). The containment volume (2) is in communication with the outside when the tip cap (20) assumes the first stable position and is sealed when the tip cap (20) assumes the second stable position.
SYRINGE AND PREFILLED SYRINGE
In a syringe, which is a prefilled syringe, when a cap body is attached to a cylindrical portion, a first sealing section is compressed radially inward by an inner peripheral surface constituting an opening of the cylindrical portion, thereby sealing a distal end section of a flow path in a liquid-tight manner, and a second sealing section is compressed radially inward by an inner peripheral surface of a proximal end section of the cylindrical portion, thereby sealing a proximal end section of the flow path in a liquid-tight manner.
Flexible Cap for Conical Connectors
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.
