Liquid dispenser for discharging pharmaceutical liquid having a discharge head and a cap, the cap body of which has a ventilation opening. The dispenser includes an injection-moulded pull-off portion which, in the delivery state, covers the ventilation opening and is connected to the cap body by a substance-to-substance bond. The pull-off portion, together with a tamper-evident portion, which, with the dispenser in the delivery state, prevents removal of the cap body, is part of a common segment which is detachable from the cap body of the cap. Alternatively, the ventilation opening is provided with a filter membrane for filtering the air which flows through it, and the cap body includes two part-bodies which together form a receiving space for the filter membrane.

Dispenser for dispensing pharmaceutical liquid having a housing, a liquid reservoir arranged within the housing, an exit opening through which liquid is discharged into a surrounding atmosphere, an outlet channel connecting the liquid reservoir to the exit opening and having an outlet valve, openable in a pressure-dependent manner or actuatable manually, arranged in the outlet channel. With the valve closed, the outlet channel is subdivided into a first portion upstream of the outlet valve and a second portion downstream of the outlet valve. The housing is of antibacterial design in the region of surfaces which are intended to come into contact with the liquid, wherein it is exclusively surfaces in the region of the second portion and/or of an outer surface of the housing which have this antibacterial design.

Drug delivery devices, sealing members for containers housed within such drug delivery devices, and related methods of assembly are disclosed. The drug delivery device may include a housing, a container disposed in the housing and having an interior volume, a drug disposed in the interior volume, and a septum. The container may have an opening formed in an end surface and which communicates with the interior volume. The septum may include a proximal end inserted through the opening into the interior volume of the container. Additionally, the septum may include a distal end having a flange disposed outwardly of the proximal end and contacting the end surface of the container. At least an end portion of the flange may be made of a material that is permeable to a gaseous sterilizing agent.

A sampling device including a body (101) having a sampling chamber (102) adapted to receive a liquid (103) to be sampled. An inlet (104) on the body (101) allows liquid (103) to flow into the sampling chamber (102). A sampling port (105) on the body is adapted to receive a sampling pot or sample receiving container (106) for collecting liquid (103) from the sampling chamber (102) wherein the sampling port includes a safety shield (107) slidaby mounted to the inside (108) of the sampling port, the safety shield slidable between a blocking position in which access to the sampling chamber is restricted and an accessible position in which access to the sampling chamber is allowed.

Provided is an exposure-preventing cap of a novel and simple structure that, by being mounted on a vial, can more reliably inhibit leaking of drug solution to an outside when pulling out and collecting drug solution in a syringe from the vial. An exposure-preventing cap, which is mounted on a mouth of a vial sealed with a rubber stopper, wherein a puncturing hole is formed in a center part of a cap-shaped housing that is attached to a mouth of the vial, and a rubber membrane is arranged at the puncturing hole so as to form an internal space between facing surfaces of the rubber membrane and the rubber stopper. The rubber membrane has a dome shape that is convex facing the rubber stopper.

An administrable liquid medicine preparation tool is provided with a first port to which a syringe is attachable, a second port to which a syringe is attachable, a main body provided with a liquid flow path that communicates the first port with the second port, a hydrophilic filtration membrane that divides the liquid flow path into a first port side flow path and a second port side flow path, a first air discharge hole that communicates the first port side flow path with the outside, a first air-permeable membrane that blocks the first air discharge hole in an air-permeable manner, a second air discharge hole that communicates the second port side flow path with the outside, and a second air-permeable membrane that blocks the second air discharge hole in an air-permeable manner.

The present invention provides infusion devices, such as intravascular (IV) devices, comprising a hydrophilic sintered porous plastic filter or a hydrophilic porous fiber filter which are effective at stopping or greatly reducing transmission of air through the filter.

At least an end portion of the flange may be made of a material that is permeable to a gaseous sterilizing agent.

The container (1), particularly for medical products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food or the like, comprises: an hollow body (2) at least partly compressible defining a chamber (3) for containing a fluid product (4) and provided with a neck (5); a closure element (6) made in a single body piece with the hollow body (2) and provided with an attachment portion (7) which, in a packaging configuration, is associated with the hollow body (2) along a predefined breaking line (8) adapted to allow the separation of the closure element (6) from the hollow body (2) in a configuration of separation in which on the hollow body (2) is formed a dispensing opening (9) of the fluid product (4); a dispensing valve (13) adapted to allow the outflow of the fluid product (4) through the dispensing opening (9); and a return valve (14) adapted to allow the one-way flow of air (15) towards the chamber (3), wherein the return valve (14) comprises filtering means (16) adapted to filter the air (15) entering the chamber (3).

An infusion cartridge includes: a case portion having a portion that defines a recess; and a film portion that has flexibility and covers an open side of the recess. The film portion and said portion of the case portion together form an inner wall that defines a storage space configured to store an infusion solution. The infusion cartridge further includes: a filling port located at the inner wall and configured to allow the infusion solution to be filled into the storage space from an outside; and a ventilation port located at the inner wall and configured to allow gas in the storage space to be discharged to the outside.
