A connector for forming a fluid flow pathway by connection with a reciprocal connector. Both the connector and reciprocal connector include a fluid flow blockage partsheathed within an axially compressible sheath part. A first bearing surface receives an urging force to retract the blockage part axially along the sheath part. A terminal end of the sheath part defines a second bearing surface containing a fluid flow opening with the fluid flow blockage part retractably therein. A first chassis part includes a first catch part. A second chassis part includes a second catch part and a third bearing surface spaced from the second catch part along the second chassis part. Retraction of the blockage part forms a fluid flow pathway not sooner than immediately when the openings meet to allow fluid transfer the openings avoiding fluid leakage between connected connectors.

A filling aid device for filling a reservoir. The device includes a cover portion comprising a septum window; a slider beam comprising a septum cover; and a first filling aid tab attached to the slider beam, the first filling aid tab in slidable relation to the cover from a first position to a second position, wherein when the filling aid device is in an unlocked position, the septum cover is located below the septum window, wherein when the first filling aid tab is moved from the first position to the second position, the septum cover is moved from below the septum window, and the filling aid device is in the locked position.

An adapter for connection with a fluid container includes an outer housing having a distal end, a proximal end, and a substantially cylindrical sidewall extending between the distal end and the proximal end, an inner member including a body rotatably inserted within the outer housing, a connector extending from the body configured to connect the adapter to a fluid container, and at least one grasping member extending from the inner member, the grasping member being configured for grasping by a user of the adapter, a first locking arrangement engageable with a distal end of the inner member and configured to restrict the inner member from rotating relative to the outer housing in a first direction, and a second locking arrangement engageable with a proximal end of the inner member and configured to restrict the inner member from moving in a proximal direction relative to the outer housing.

A syringe-shaped spraying device includes: a syringe-shaped spraying device main body including a barrel that stores a liquid medicine, a plunger having a front end inserted in the barrel with a gasket being attached to the front end, and a nozzle that is provided with a spraying hole for spraying the liquid medicine and that is connected to a front end of the barrel; a vial adapter having a transfer needle to pierce a vial that stores a liquid medicine so as to suction the liquid medicine; and a connection adapter that is attached to the syringe-shaped spraying device main body and that connects the vial adapter to the syringe-shaped spraying device main body.

A torque enhancement device having torque enhancement member(s) with each having an exterior (preferably bi-symmetric or essentially bi-symmetric) surface configuration with parallel, longer side walls extending in a Y-axis direction and shorter side walls extending in an X-axis direction and corner recesses positioned between ends of adjacent longer and shorter side walls, and with some embodiments of the invention featuring a torque enhancement device having a hole extending in a Z-axis direction. A fastener assembly is also provided that includes one or more torque enhancement devices as well as methods for utilization of the torque enhancement device or utilization or assemblage of an assembly including a torque enhancement device. The surface configuration includes arrangements where there is a torque differential in one direction or the other as well as arrangements that are adapted to handle both standard fastener configurations and torque enhancement configurations with a common torque enhancement device.

A connector for connecting a medical injection device having a distal tip, a needle extending from the distal tip and a sleeve extending around the tip comprising an inner threaded portion, to a container including a collar closed by a pierceable septum, including: a proximal part configured to sealingly engage the tip of the injection device so as to enclose at least a part of the needle; a distal part configured to be connected to the container, including a skirt configured to extend around the needle when the connector is connected to the injection device; and a needle shield configured to be mounted on the needle, so as to sealingly enclose at least the tip of the needle, the needle shield being configured to be pierced by the needle inserted via the opening for sealingly enclosing said needle.

A medicament filling system (30) provides medicament to a delivery device (20). The medicament filling system (30) comprises a main housing (40) having an air pump (42), a vial adapter (44) that is configured to engage a vial (10) containing medicament, the vial adapter (44) being in communication with the air pump (42), a syringe housing (46) that carries a syringe (70), the syringe housing (46) being in selective communication with the vial adapter (44) and the delivery device (20), and a valve (60) that locks and unlocks movement of a plunger (72) in the syringe (70).

A syringe adapter includes a housing having a first end and a second end with the first end configured to be secured to a first container, a cannula having a first end and a second end with the second end positioned within the housing, and a collet having a first end and a second end with at least a portion of the collet received within the housing. The collet includes a body defining a passageway, a seal member received by the passageway, and an arcuate, resilient locking member connected to the body of the collet. The collet is movable from a first position where the locking member is open to receive a mating connector to a second position where radially outward movement of the locking member is restricted.

A topical applicator of the propel/repel type includes a reservoir, an attachable applicator cap, and a metered dosing system. The reservoir is suitable for mixing a topical formulation of multiple constituents using an electronic mortar and pestle and is closed using the applicator cap. Alternatively, the reservoir may be prefilled with a ready-to-use cream and medicament formulation, then sealed with a removable seal. The topical applicator can also include a one-way ratcheting feature to prevent reverse movement (repel) of the metered dosing system. Metered doses can be dispensed through holes in the applicator cap by rotating a knob, which has detent positions that correspond to discrete doses, and which provides audible and tactile feedback.

An adaptor for connecting a medical container to a connector, the adaptor including longitudinal projections including a distal portion configured to exert a progressively increasing radial pressure on connecting means of the connector when said connector is moved axially proximally within the adaptor and a proximal portion configured to authorize the partial release of said pressure as the connector is moved further proximally, said proximal portion being further configured to be contacted by said connecting means upon said partial release of said pressure and to emit a sound when contacted by said connecting means, thereby providing an end user with a tactile and audible indication that the connection between the connector and the adaptor is secured. The disclosure also relates to a medical container having such an adaptor mounted onto its distal tip.
