A protection device for a syringe having a syringe body extending along a longitudinal axis comprising, at a first end an end tip including an orifice for the passage of liquid and, at a second end, an opening for the passage of a piston provided with a maneuver head; wherein the device is adapted to at least partially cover said syringe body and is made at least in part of a radioprotective material providing protection against ionizing radiation, and wherein the device is in the form of a clamp comprising two half-jaws joined together by a hinge, which clamp includes operating means configured so that said half-jaws are moveable between: a closed operative position, in which said half-jaws are assembled to form a cylinder to at least partially cover said syringe body, and an open inactive position, adapted for the introduction and extraction of said syringe body into said half-jaws.

Dual vial adapter assemblages having a triple component construction as follows: a first vented female vial adapter for telescopic mounting on a drug vial, a second vented female vial adapter for telescopic mounting on a liquid vial and a tubular liquid transfer coupler for coupling the first vented female vial adapter and the second vented female vial adapter for establishing a dual sealed lumen arrangement therebetween. The dual sealed lumen arrangement includes a central sealed liquid lumen for gravitational flow of liquid contents from a liquid vial to a drug vial and a sealed air lumen radial outward from the central sealed liquid lumen for venting air displaced from the drug vial to the liquid vial for assisting the gravitational flow of liquid contents by creating a closed system between the liquid vial and the drug vial.

An apparatus to preserve liquid from a medicine vial may include a vial coupling member forming a vial coupling member cavity and a container forming a cavity. The apparatus may further include a first fluid pathway forming a first lumen that is in fluid communication with the vial coupling member cavity and the cavity and a second fluid pathway forming a second lumen that is in fluid communication with the vial coupling member cavity and the cavity. The vial coupling member cavity, the cavity, the first lumen, and the second lumen may form a sterile environment that is sealed from contaminants in an ambient environment. The apparatus may include a disengaging member configured to permit the container to disengage from the first fluid pathway and the second fluid pathway while permanently sealing at least one of the first lumen or the second lumen.

A reconstitution device includes a body, a first piercing member located at a first end of the body, and a receptacle located at the second end of the body. The receptacle includes a collar configured to engage a vial, and a cap extending from the collar and holding a second piercing member. The second piercing member is disposed within the collar. The reconstitution device includes a first fluid pathway formed within and extending from the first piercing member to the second piercing member. The reconstitution device includes a second fluid pathway formed within and extending from the second piercing member to a portion of the body between the first piercing member and the second piercing member.

A medical syringe apparatus includes a syringe unit, a hypodermic needle attached to the syringe unit and at least one interfacing member for mating a labeled medication container to the syringe unit. A filling needle is attached to the syringe unit for drawing fluid from a container. A movable needle sheath protects the hypodermic needle when not in use and may be moved out of the way when administering an injection. The medication label is visible. The container remains mated to the syringe when the syringe is in use. Risk of mislabeling the syringe may therefore be substantially reduced or eliminated and patient safety may accordingly be improved.

A device for aseptic delivery of biological material from a vial includes a tubular barrel, a filter assembly, and a dispersion assembly. The dispersion assembly is at least partially disposed within the tubular barrel. The dispersion assembly includes a dispersion element, a piston, and a one-way valve. The dispersion element is in fluid communication with the vial to disperse the biological material from the vial. The piston is disposed at the distal end of the dispersion assembly and is in sealing contact with the tubular barrel. The one-way valve forms a fluid passageway in fluid communication with the dispersion element and the tubular barrel. The one-way valve is configured to allow a flow of the dispersed biological material from the dispersion element, through the fluid passageway, and into the tubular barrel, and to prevent a flow of the dispersed biological material from the tubular barrel into the dispersion assembly.

In certain embodiments, a vial adaptor comprises a housing configured to couple the adaptor with a vial, an access channel, a regulator channel, and a regulator assembly. The access channel is configured to facilitate withdrawal of fluid from the vial when the adaptor is coupled to the vial. The regulator channel is configured to facilitate a flow of a regulating fluid from the regulator assembly to compensate for changes in volume of a medical fluid in the vial. In some embodiments, the regulator assembly includes a flexible member configured to expand and contract in accordance with changes in the volume of the medical fluid in the vial. In some embodiments, the flexible member is substantially free to expand and contract. In some embodiments, the flexible member is not partly or completely located in a rigid enclosure.

A sterile drug dispensing system, comprising: an air source output device, a handle and a drug dissolving device; the drug dissolving device is detachably mounted on the handle, the handle being connected to the air source output device by means of a power line and an air pipe, being for use in filtering gas and controlling the gas source output device; the gas source output device is used for outputting and extracting gas. A sterile drug dispensing method, which corresponds to the operating steps of the sterile drug dispensing system.

A device is provided for pooling a fluid from a container unit having at least one container, and includes an inlet port having at least one inlet channel configured for receiving the fluid or ambient air, and an outlet port having at least one outlet channel configured for delivering the fluid to an attachment. Both inlet and outlet ports are disposed on the device. A cavity is provided for accommodating insertion of the container unit for pooling the fluid from the at least one container. At least one spike is disposed in the cavity and configured for puncturing a stopper of the at least one container when the container unit transitions from an upper position to a lower position.

A transfer device 2 for fluid transmission from a storage bottle 1 to a receiving unit, comprising at least one housing with a housing insert or inset which comprises at least one transfer needle 8, 9 and a needle protector. To ensure sufficient safety for the personnel, a new transfer device 2 is suggested which is suited for screwing on a disposable syringe 3 and may be directly connected to a storage bottle 1. Here, the transfer device 2 consists of only few elements which on the one hand ensure a reliable function and on the other hand prevent any contact with toxic medicine. To this end, the housing has a tubular design and has at one end an open cylinder section with at least one locking unit for a storage bottle 1, and at the other end an opening for a housing insert.
