A device for extracting a fluid from an ampoule, comprising a plunger body (2) arranged for enclosing an ampoule (3), and a syringe body (4) movable relative to the plunger body (2). The syringe body (4) comprises a piston member (6) and an outer tubular casing (8) concentrically arranged around the piston member (6). The piston member (6) comprises an insertion end (10), receivable within the plunger body (2) and arranged for insertion in the ampoule (3), an ejection end (12) attached to the outer tubular casing (8), and a lumen (14) extending between the insertion end (10) and the ejection end (12). The plunger body (2) and the syringe body (4) form an actuating arrangement of the device (1) arranged to move the piston member (6) through the ampoule (3) during operation and forcing a fluid from the ampoule (3) through the lumen (14).

An automatic injection device including a housing element, at least one resilient element arranged to be located within the housing element, a syringe including at least one syringe piston, a needle guard adapted for selectable positioning with respect to the housing element and a selectable driving element adapted, when actuated, to be driven by the at least one resilient element for initially displacing the syringe relative to the housing element from a non-penetration position to a penetration position and thereafter displacing the at least one syringe piston in the syringe to effect drug delivery and displacing the needle guard into a needle guarding position.

The invention relates to a syringe body having a nozzle and a threaded connection. The syringe body consists of an inner part and an outer part, the inner part comprising, at least in regions, a cycloolefin, in particular a cycloolefin copolymer or a cycloolefin polymer, as a first material. The first material forms an inner wall of the syringe body. The threaded connection of the outer part comprises, at least in regions, a material different from the cycloolefin as a second material. The invention further relates to a syringe having the syringe body.

To prevent accidental needle stick injuries, a syringe has a plunger configured to pull the syringe into the syringe barrel after clinical use. The syringe has an additional safety feature that restricts subsequent movement of the plunger. After the needle has been retracted in its entirety within the barrel of the syringe, movement of the plunger is restricted by a two-part locking mechanism, a notch on the plunger and a T-shaped slot on the barrel with a one-way catch section to prevent the needle tip from being pushed accidentally through the barrel wall.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to flush syringe assemblies comprising an integrated contamination-prevention device integrated with device connector flushing positioned so that the practitioner cannot forget to apply disinfectant. The flush syringe assemblies comprise a barrel with an elongate plunger rod disposed therein and a cap comprising a passageway. The plunger rod includes a stopper of which at least a portion can be embedded in the passageway of the cap to form a plug in the cap. Methods of flushing a vascular access device (VAD) while providing a flush syringe assembly described herein are also disclosed.

A medical syringe barrel and a package thereof can secure a sufficient stroke even for operating a Lure Lock type small capacity syringe, and restrain rattle of the syringe barrel inside the tubular member. A medical syringe barrel includes a tubular barrel section for accommodating an internal-use solution in the interior thereof, a tubular injection nozzle section formed at one end of the barrel section, and a flange section formed at an opening section on the other end of the barrel section to project radially outward. The barrel section includes an intermediate body part having an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the injection nozzle section, and a large outer diameter barrel section having an outer diameter equal to the outer diameter of the injection nozzle section, and the large outer diameter barrel section is formed between the flange section and the intermediate body part.

A medical syringe barrel and a manufacturing method for producing the same can be completed as a molded article by injection molding of a synthetic resin material without requiring post processing like polishing and can fill and administer a predetermined amount of the internal-use solution accurately. A medical syringe barrel includes a tubular barrel section for accommodating an internal-use solution in the interior thereof, an injection nozzle section formed at one end of the barrel section, and a flange section formed at an opening section on the other end of the barrel section to project radially outward. A surface of the flange section has a recess portion, and a weld line which is potentially formed by injection molding is not formed in the internal-use solution filled section.

The present invention relates to a low dead space hub and a needle coupled to said hub, the dead space of which has a storage capacity of less than about 0.0190 milliliters.
