The invention relates to a plastic container product, in particular produced by the blow-molding, filling, and sealing method, having a container wall which can be pierced by means of a cannula in predefinable areas for the purpose of access to the container content. Said plastic container product is characterized in that, in order to avoid punched parts which arise when the container wall is pierced with a cannula, the mathematical product of the container wall thickness in the piercing area and the tensile modulus of the plastic material to ISO 527 is less than 400 MPa.Math.mm, in particular preferably less than 300 MPa.Math.mm.

Disclosed herein is a pierceable elastic septum for use in drug reservoirs and infusion sets, the pierceable septum comprising a first surface and a second surface. The first surface and the second surface are positioned opposite to each other. A distance between the first surface and the second surface is not constant over the first surface, and is configured such that if a higher pressure is applied to the first surface as compared to the second surface, a component of a force, which is exerted on the first surface, acts towards an axis (A) which intersects the center of the first surface and the center of the second surface.

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.

In certain embodiments, a vial adaptor for removing liquid contents from a vial comprises a piercing member and a bag. The bag can be contained within the piercing member such that the bag is introduced to the vial when the vial adaptor is coupled with the vial. In some embodiments, the bag expands within the vial as liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, thereby regulating pressure within the vial. In other embodiments, a vial comprises a bag for regulating pressure within the vial as liquid is removed therefrom. In some embodiments, a vial adaptor is coupled with the vial in order to remove the liquid. In some embodiments, as the liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, the bag expands within the vial, and in other embodiments, the bag contracts within the vial.

A method of manufacturing a metal cannula is disclosed. The method includes the step of providing a metal cannula having a longitudinal axis and defining a fluid channel. Next, the metal cannula is pressed to substantially close the fluid channel and define a first segment and a second segment. In a next step, the metal cannula is cut to separate the first segment from the second segment of the metal cannula. Each of the first and second segments have a pressed edge. The pressed edge substantially seals the fluid channel and has two pressed corners. Afterwards, each of the pressed corners are cut from the pressed edge of the first segment to define a pair of side openings and a distal blunt edge on the first segment. The side openings are in fluid communication with the fluid channel.
