A dispensing device (1) for dispensing a fluid, preferably an injection syringe. The device comprises a main body (2) which has a longitudinal axis (A) and has a receiving space (3) for receiving the fluid, and a connection channel (4) communicates with the receiving space. The connection channel opens on a valve face (5) of the main body. The device comprises a movable flow control element (6) arranged on the main body. The flow control element has one or more flow channels (7) which open on a valve face (8) of the flow control element. The connection channel of the main body and the flow channels of the flow control element are fluidically connected to each other by relative movement of main body and flow control element. A sealing element (10) is arranged between the valve face of the main body and the valve face of the flow control element.

The invention is related to an apparatus comprising a dispense interface comprising a lockout element for use with a drug delivery device, the lockout element comprising at least one spring component removeably maintained in a respective first position such that when the dispense interface is first attached and then removed from said drug delivery device, each spring component moves into a respective second position, which respective second position is configured to prevent said dispense interface from being reattached to a drug delivery device.

A cylinder-piston unit of a needle-free injector, with at least one cylinder accommodating an injection solution, at least one piston, and an adhesive coating arranged in the area of the free end face of the cylinder. The cylinder has a bottom portion, on which a discharge tube is arranged. An adhesive disc, which is displaceable in the direction of the center line of the cylinder-piston unit between an installation position and an application position, is arranged on the discharge tube and/or on the bottom portion. The adhesive disc has an adhesive coating on each of the two end faces. In the installation position, the discharge tube can be sealed off in the adhesive disc. In the application position, the front edge of the discharge nozzle lies in the plane of the front adhesive coating or protrudes beyond this plane by at least 0.5 mm. A needle-free cylinder-piston unit of an injector whose discharge system is suitable for safely penetrating the outer layers of skin, covered by the term “dermis”, in order to convey the injection solution into or under the skin.

Syringe assemblies comprising an absorbent pad containing disinfectant and a rotatable cap to ensure adherence to aseptic techniques for use in flush procedures for vascular access devices (VAD's) are described. Also described are methods of disinfecting vascular access devices.

An injection device comprising a housing in which can be mounted a syringe comprising a barrel for holding a volume of medicament, a needle at one end of the barrel and a plunger axially-moveable in the barrel to a forwardmost position, the injection device further comprising a syringe support means for supporting the barrel at an axial location at or forward of the forwardmost position of the plunger and having a reaction surface for the syringe, whereby in use said reaction surface provides an axial compressive force on said barrel when a forward axial force is applied to the plunger.

A cartridge for use with a beneficial agent delivery device having a fillable reservoir. The cartridge includes a reconstitution, unit dose package having first and second compartments and a fitment. The first compartment contains at least a first constituent of the beneficial agent. The second compartment contains at least a second constituent of the beneficial agent. The fitment is disposed on the package for interfacing the package to the fillable reservoir.

An injector may include a container having a wall with an interior surface defining a closed sterile reservoir filled with a drug product. The injector may also include a fluid delivery system comprising a sterile container needle that is in fluid communication with the container in a delivery state, but may or may not be in fluid communication with the container in a storage state. Further, the injector may include an actuator that is adapted to move the container needle from the storage state to the delivery state.

A cannula may include a bowl portion comprising a first opening and a second opening, and an insertion tube extending from the bowl portion. The insertion tube defines a passage extending from the second opening and terminating in a distal end opening. The passage is configured to receive an instrument to be advanced through the cannula. The insertion tube has a transparent portion extending proximally from the distal end opening, and a strengthened portion extending proximally from the transparent portion.

A prefilled syringe includes a barrel body, a gasket that seals a proximal end side of a medicine chamber of the barrel body, and a cap that is attached to a tip and seals a distal end side of the medicine chamber. The cap includes a surface area increasing member that extends to the proximal end side, is inserted into a flow path of the tip, and protrudes to the medicine chamber to increase a surface area of a medicine solidified in a lump in the medicine chamber.

A cartridge for use with a beneficial agent delivery device having a tillable reservoir. The cartridge includes a reconstitution, unit dose package having first and second compartments and a fitment. The first compartment contains at least a first constituent of the beneficial agent. The second compartment contains at least a second constituent of the beneficial agent. The fitment is disposed on the package for interfacing the package to the tillable reservoir.
