Abstract:
A hooking and piercing device (1) for vials and tubes provided with a closing cap openable by pressure, comprising a hooking hood (2) with circumferentially distributed hooking toothed sectors (3) and an axial perforated stem (4) which extends axially and centrally out of the hooking hood (2) to be engaged by pressure inside a tube. The axial perforated stem (4) has an axially perforated appendix (6) which extends inside the hooking hood (2) and is shaped like a syringe luer. A frangible closing element (17) on the axial perforated stem (4) may be provided at the end of the axial perforated stem (4) opposite to the one with the luer-shaped appendix (6).
Abstract:
A package for infusion or instillation of medicinal or nutritional products into the body of a patient comprises a bag of liquid diluent equipped with at least one drain tube and a mixing tube equipped with a coupling and perforation device for a bottle of a pharmacological or nutritional substance in powder, gel or other material, provided with a perforatable cap. The package comprises a flexible airtight sterile casing, containing said bottle of the substance in powder or other and the coupling and perforation device. The bottle is housed in the casing in a coupling position with the coupling and perforation device and is manually manoeuvrable from the outside of the casing up to a perforating position of the cap of the bottle.
Abstract:
A pressure compensation device (1) for an apparatus for the reconstitution, withdrawal and transfer of a drug from a vial or other vacuum container with a hermetic closure plug being pierceable by axial pressure comprises a three-dimensional compensation bag (2) with distinct flexible walls (3) and internal space (4) containing sterile air, which is interposed between a device (5) for hooking and piercing the closure plug of the vial (16) and a terminal connector (6) with an hermetic closure valve being openable by axial pressure applied with the luer (25) of a needless syringe (27) or with other extraction means and automatically hermetically reclosable upon ceasing pressure. The hooking and piercing device (5) comprises a hooking and retaining cowling (7), a piercing stem (11) with axial internal passage (49), and a sealing element (12).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for retrieving more numerous, viable and efficient stem cells from the blood of a patient. The method comprises a preliminary step of pre-treating blood cells using an oxygen-ozone mixture and a subsequent step of separating the stem cells from said pre-treated blood cells.
Abstract:
A connector (3) which is applicable to a bag (1) for containing liquid solutions for medical or nutritional use comprises a coupling part (11) for coupling to an end of a small tube (2) projecting from the bag (1) and provided with an axial hole (5) closed by a pierceable inner membrane (6). The coupling part (11) includes two coaxial tubes (12, 13) which define an annular space (14) extending axially with a constant cross-section, into which said end of the small tube (2) is forcibly insertable by axial pressure.
Abstract:
A preassembled component (1) for connectable element assembly for the reconstitution of fluid drugs and nutrients with active substances in powder, liquid or gel form, consists of a female connector (2) with a hermetic closing valve (8) openable by pressure and automatically hermetically reclosable upon the removal of the pressure, which is directly fastened to a coupling and piercing device (3) for vials or the like.
Abstract:
There is described a package for the reconstitution and administration of fluid medicinal or nutritional substances which are infused or instillable within the body of a patient, comprising a flexible casing containing a vial of a medicinal or nutritional substance in a coupling position to a coupling and perforation device inserted into a mixing tube for the connection with a bag of liquid diluent. The casing comprises a connector provided with an openable and hermetically closable cap, adapted to introduce a mixture of sterilizing gas and oxygen into said casing.
Abstract:
A closing plug for a sealed sterile vial containing medical or nutritional active substances, which is suitable for the sterile connection to a container of liquid diluent solution. There is also described a sterile connection system between a sealed sterile vial closed by means of a plug and a tube for drawing said active substances, for mixing them with a liquid diluent solution inside a sterile container. The plug requires an internal sterile chamber in which, upon the piercing of an outer film for sealing the plug, a compressible protection cap of a piercing tip of the tube is inserted, which abuts against a seat of the sterile chamber allowing the tip to pierce the end wall of the protection cap and then the inner membrane of the closing plug. An intermediate pierceable membrane placed on the seat of the internal chamber of the vial may be included.
