The invention relates to an accessory for implanting a medical device in a human or animal body, said medical device comprising an occlusion collar (1) adapted to surround and to seal an anatomical duct of said human or animal body, a fluid reservoir (2) and a tube (3) connecting the reservoir to the occlusion collar, said accessory comprising:—a plug (100; 100) adapted to seal an end of the tube; and—a collar (200) adapted to surround the tube, the plug (100) and the collar (200) having respective connection portions (103, 104; 203, 204) adapted to engage so as to fix the collar (200) and the plug (100) together so as to hermetically seal said end of the tube (3).

A system for facilitating instrument delivery through a peripheral intravenous catheter may include a catheter adapter having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending there through. The catheter adapter may include a side port. The system may include an extension tube extending from the side port. The system may include a blood control valve disposed in the lumen of the catheter adapter. The system may include a peripheral intravenous catheter extending distally from the catheter adapter.

A fluid plug for use with sterile processes such as the manufacture or production of pharmaceuticals and biologics is disclosed. The fluid plug is made of a material or materials that will tolerate sterilizing processes such as gamma irradiation. The fluid plug is used to selectively plug the ends of flexible polymer conduits that may be connected to fluids, reagents, or products used or generated as part of the manufacturing process. Also disclosed is the use of the plugs in combination with a series of valves in a block-and-bleed arrangement to enable the sterile transfer and connection of fluids, reagents, or products within a process flow.

A device for coupling to a fluid connector of an IV administration set to resist contamination of the fluid connector and IV administration set and permit priming of the IV administration set. The device including a cover body having a cavity for receiving the fluid connector, a priming passage for priming fluid from the IV administration set through the fluid connector, and a coupling tab extending from the cover body, the coupling tab permitting the cover body to be coupled to a length of an IV line or other portion of the IV administration set to resist contamination and permit priming of the IV administration set.

A medicinal liquid supply control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a reservoir located on a second channel to define an internal space that stores a medicinal liquid, an inlet hole and an outlet hole being formed in one portion of an outer surface of the reservoir and connected to the internal space, and a reservoir support part on which the one portion of the reservoir is fixed, an inlet connection hole connected to the inlet hole and an outlet connection hole connected to the outlet hole being formed at the reservoir support part.

Apparatus and methods for lyophilizing and sealing a medicament within a medical delivery device having an opening. The apparatus may include a stopper for sealing the opening. The stopper may have one or more elongated members extending from a base, in a direction that is parallel to a central axis of the base. One or more of the members may be set radially away from the axis and define a coaxial central well. The member or members may define a void. The elongated member or members may engage a device inner wall and support the base away from the opening. The void may provide gas exchange between a device interior and a device exterior. The gas may be a lyophilization byproduct that escapes from the device interior between the inner wall, the base and the member or members. The stopper may be advanced into the device to seal the opening.
