An adaptive clip is configured for piercing a stopper that closes a medical vial and is held so as to be assembled together with the vial by a cap. The clip comprises: a head that extends along a main plane and is provided, at its center and on an inner surface, with a cannula that ends in a point, the inner surface also being provided with at least one abutment for coming into contact with the stopper; a peripheral wall comprising a first end connected to the head of the clip and a second free end; and first tabs and second tabs formed in the peripheral wall, the first tabs each comprising a deformable tongue, and the second tabs being flexible and comprising notches on an inner face.

Connection equipment includes an equipment connector comprising a first connecting section, a first liquid flow path that communicates with a equipment, and a first valve that is to open and close the first liquid flow path, a container connector comprising a second connecting section, a second liquid flow path that communicates with the container, and a second valve that is to open and close the second liquid flow path, and a lock mechanism that locks the equipment connector and the container connector in a state where the first liquid flow path is in communication with the second liquid flow path, and that unlocks the connectors in a state where the first valve and the second valve are closed.

Container connector includes a base in which a flow path is formed, an engagement section disposed on a circle set to the base, a guiding section disposed continuously with the engagement section, and having a guide surface formed as a curved surface to guide the container to the engagement section and facing a side of an axis of the circle, and an arm provided in the base, and movably supporting the guiding section in a direction toward the axis of the circle and a direction away from the axis.

An adaptor for medical containers includes a hinge and a latch to attach the adaptor to respective support. The hinge includes a pivot to allow pivoting when a pivoting surface of the respective support and the pivot come in contact with each other. The adaptor can also include a zone for the reception of syringes, bags, vials and/or bottles.

A grasping collar is featured that has a flexible main body having an exterior surface with surface cavities configured for finger reception; a hole extending within an interior region of the body along an X-axis direction and being a through-hole relative to the body; an elongated slit extending in the X-axis direction, and in a radially inward direction from an exterior surface of the body into communication with the hole, the elongated slit including a thinner slit section extending in the X-axis direction for a portion of an overall length of the body as well as a wider slit section extending in the X-axis direction for a remaining portion of the overall length of the body. Methods of utilizing and assembling the grasping collar are also featured.

In drug mixing devices of disclosed embodiments, a main flow path extending from one end configured to allow liquid inside the first container to enter the main flow path therethrough to another end configured to allow liquid inside the second container to enter the main flow path therethrough, and a branch flow path branching from the main flow path are formed. The drug mixing device includes a body including a first connection part configured to be coupled with the first container and a second connection part configured to be coupled with the second container, and a backflow prevention part disposed in a partial flow path of the main flow path extending to the one end with reference to the connection point of the main flow path and the branch flow path, the backflow prevention part being configured to prevent liquid from flowing from the connection point to the one end.

A hooking and piercing device (1) for vials and tubes provided with a closing cap openable by pressure, comprising a hooking hood (2) with circumferentially distributed hooking toothed sectors (3) and an axial perforated stem (4) which extends axially and centrally out of the hooking hood (2) to be engaged by pressure inside a tube. The axial perforated stem (4) has an axially perforated appendix (6) which extends inside the hooking hood (2) and is shaped like a syringe luer. A frangible closing element (17) on the axial perforated stem (4) may be provided at the end of the axial perforated stem (4) opposite to the one with the luer-shaped appendix (6).

A system having a syringe and a connector. A proximal end of an outer housing of the connector is a specially designed female Luer element. A distal end of an outer housing of the connector is configured to connect the syringe to a component of a fluid transfer apparatus. The syringe and the connector are configured to be joined together such that they can be swiveled relative to each other around their common longitudinal axis. Once connected together, any attempt to twist the syringe or connector relative to each other in either a counterclockwise direction or a clockwise direction will result in endless swiveling about their common longitudinal axis. In other words, once the system is connected together, the syringe cannot be disconnected from the connector.

A syringe adaptor includes a body, shaped to define a body lumen, a syringe fitting at a proximal end of the body, configured to connect to a distal end of a syringe, a needle extending distally from the syringe fitting into the body lumen, a septum housing, and an elastomeric septum mounted inside the septum housing. The septum includes a proximal face, shaped to define an aperture having an aperture diameter, and a distal face. The septum is shaped to define a cavity, joined to the aperture, having a cavity diameter that is larger than the aperture diameter. The septum housing is configured to slide proximally within the body lumen such that a distal end of the needle contained in the cavity passes through the distal face of the septum. Other embodiments are also described.

Systems and methods for the transfer of medical fluid are provided. A medical fluid transfer system may comprise a pump configured to transfer fluid through a tube assembly having a first connector configured to couple to a source container and a second connector configured to couple to a target container. The medical fluid transfer system may also comprise a destination sensor configured to output information about the target container. The medical fluid transfer system may further comprise a control system configured to operate the pump based on an operational setting associated with fluid volume; receive measurement data representing a measurement of the target container by the destination sensor, and adjust the operational setting based on an observed volume of fluid transferred to the target container.
