This medical container includes a tubular barrel defining a reservoir for a medical product and a longitudinal distal tip defining a fluid path in communication with the reservoir in order to allow the medical product to be expelled from the medical container. The distal tip and the barrel are made of glass and the distal tip is provided with a thread, the thread being configured to connect the distal tip to a connecting element having a complementarily shaped internal thread.

A tip cap for a medical injection device, including: a tip connector configured to engage a tip of the medical injection device; a closure cap configured to sealingly close a distal opening of the tip, the closure cap being releasably connected to the tip connector; an RFID tag including a chip and an antenna, where the chip is overmolded in one of the tip connector and the closure cap and the antenna is overmolded in the other one of the tip connector and the closure cap, the chip and the antenna being electrically connected by a bridge configured to break under a relative movement applied to the closure cap and the tip connector in order to release the closure cap from the tip connector, and the antenna is located at an interface between the tip connector and the closure cap.

A syringe set, a syringe and a set include a first syringe having a first connection port and a drug container having a second connection port. The first connection port includes an injection needle attachment structure to which an injection needle is attachable, and a blocking member that is disposed in the injection needle attachment structure and blocks attachment of the injection needle. When the second connection port is connected to the first connection port, the blocking member is connected to the second connection port side, and when the second connection port is detached, the blocking member is detached from the first connection port so as to allow the injection needle to be attached to the first connection port.

A reduced profile syringe assembly is provided that includes an overall profile that is substantially similar to a profile of a syringe barrel. The syringe assembly includes a plunger rod that is significantly disposed within the syringe barrel when filled for use, with the plunger rod adapted to be retracted from the syringe barrel during dispensing of contents of the syringe barrel.

An injection device including a syringe including a barrel having a distal end and a proximal end and a tip provided on the distal end of the barrel, the barrel defining an internal bore extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the barrel; a luer lock adaptor including a body having a proximal end and a distal end, a reduced-diameter portion provided on the proximal end of the body, and a threading provided on an outer surface of the body, the reduced-diameter portion defining an opening to receive the tip of the syringe in a friction fit; and a needle hub including a body defining an inner cavity, a needle receiving portion extending distally from the body, and a skirt extending inwardly into the inner cavity.

A syringe and needle hub for a syringe has distal patient-facing side having a surface for contact with the subject’s skin during injection. The contact surface is formed by a distal face of a post supporting a cannula and an outer collar surrounding the post. The axial distance between the distal face of the post and the distal face of the collar provided a contact surface with a radius of curvature to control the desired injection. The syringe barrel can have finger flanges extending outwardly where the flanges have a tactile member such as a dimple projecting from a proximal face of the flange and recess in a distal face of the flange.

A method of manufacturing a cartridge is described. An injection needle is inserted into a mold that forms a barrel. The barrel defines an open proximal end, an opposing distal end, an internal reservoir therebetween, and an arm projecting distally from the distal end of the barrel and having a portion bent at a fixed angle. The injection needle is positioned within a portion of the mold configured to form the arm of the barrel, and a terminal needle tip is oriented such that a beveled opening of the needle tip is distally facing. The injection needle is stabilized against movement with a gripping device. The mold is filled with resin to form the barrel around the injection needle. The gripping device is separated from the injection needle upon hardening of the resin.

Methods and apparatus to reduce deadspace in syringes and other devices with the use of volume displacing members that occupy space within one or more interior spaces of such devices. The volume displacing members are also equipped with one or more internal flow passages that facilitate a flow of a fluid through it. The volume displacing members are also adapted to cooperate with features of the devices that house them to form air-tight and liquid-tight seals that at least partially determine a fluid pathway through the devices.
