A syringe includes a syringe outer tube including a tubular-shaped outer tube main body configured to be filled with a liquid, a reduced diameter section located at a distal end of the outer tube main body in a projecting manner, and configured to allow the liquid to pass therethrough, the reduced diameter section having an outside diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the outer tube main body, and a ring-shaped lock adapter concentrically disposed at an outer circumferential portion of the reduced diameter section and configured to fix a mating member connected to the reduced diameter section; and a cap including a cap main body mounted on the syringe outer tube and configured to seal the reduced diameter section in a liquid-tight manner when the cap main body is in a mounted state, a ring-shaped mounting section disposed at a proximal end side of the cap main body and mounted on an outer circumferential portion of the lock adapter, and a breaking section that forms a link between the cap main body and the mounting section and that is configured to release the link by breakage.

A small bore medical device connector is provided. The small bore medical device connector includes a female connector comprising a fluid path and a receptacle configured to accept a male Luer lock connector protrusion extending from a male Luer lock connector. The female connector is configured for threaded engagement to the male Luer lock connector. The male Luer lock connector protrusion includes a standard Luer tapered protrusion and a flow channel therewithin. The male Luer lock connector terminates at a tip disposed at the distal portion. The tip includes an opening to the flow channel. When the female connector is engaged with the male Luer lock connector, a distal aspect of the tip contactingly engages a distal engagement surface in the receptacle to establish a fluid-tight seal and to establish fluid communication through a combined fluid pathway including the fluid path and the flow channel.

An apparatus includes a housing coupled to a medicament container, which is coupled to a needle. An injection assembly is disposed within the housing and includes an energy storage member and an actuation rod. A distal end portion of the actuation rod is disposed within the medicament container. The energy storage member can produce a force on a proximal end portion of the actuation rod sufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container. This can convey at least a portion of a substance from the medicament container via the needle when a distal tip of the needle is disposed within a first region of a target location. The force is insufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container when the distal tip of the needle is disposed within a second region of the target location.

The present invention relates to an assembly (101) comprising: an injection device (1) comprising a container (2) for a product, said container comprising a distal tip (3), an adaptor (5) comprising a ring (6) mounted onto said distal tip (3), characterized in that said assembly (101) further comprises a heat-shrinkable film (9) covering part (2a) of said container (2) and part (5a) of said adaptor (5), said film (9) maintaining said adaptor (5) blocked in rotation and in translation with respect to said container (2) when said film (9) is in its heat-shrunk condition. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such an assembly.

Medical devices such as medical containers can be formed of glass and annealed which produces a clean device having a low bio-burden, or formed by plastic molding which produces a clean device. The clean devices are immediately transferred to a controlled environment such as a clean room or localized area to avoid the need to maintain cleanliness levels in an entire room. Syringe tip closures can be introduced into the housing assembly, where syringe barrels and tip closures are cleaned with filtered ionized air and the tip closures are coupled to the barrels. The syringe barrels can be filled with a substance and a closure member attached. While still in the housing assembly the syringe barrels can be formed into an array and placed in a clean outer container, which is then closed and sealed.

The present disclosure concerns an assembly for an injection device, e.g. an auto-injector device, comprising: a medicament container comprising a medicament container body and a needle protruding from a distal end of the medicament container body and fluidly connected to an interior of the medicament container body, a housing comprising a first bearing surface configured to support the medicament container in a distal direction, a distancing element arranged on the needle and providing a second bearing surface configured to contact a patient's skin during use of the injection device, thereby preventing insertion of the needle into the patient's body beyond a predetermined injection depth.

A needle assembly includes: a retaining portion; and an elastic member that includes a close contact portion that closely contacts and retains the needle tube such that the needle tube protrudes toward a fitting opening, and a deformation portion that extends from the close contact portion toward the fitting opening and is configured to deform when the drug ejection portion comes into contact with the elastic member, and which is provided in a fitting portion. Further, the length of the deformation portion is in a range of 35% or more and 50% or less with respect to the length of the elastic member, and the length of a portion of the needle tube which protrudes from the close contact portion toward the fitting portion is in a range of 45% or more and 245% or less with respect to the deformation portion.

Described is a needle assembly attachment and removal device comprising a case having a base and a longitudinal axis (L), a carriage axially movable with the case from a first position to a second position, a carrier rotatably coupled to the carriage and adapted to hold a needle assembly, and a gearing arrangement rotatably coupled to the carriage and adapted to rotate the carrier in a first rotational direction as the carriage moves from the first position to the second position and in a second rotational direction as the carriage moves from the second position to the first position.
