Abstract:
It is known to deliver drugs through the skin, i.e. transdermally, by using a needle that is used in conjunction with a device. A device (10) comprises a device body (12) which has an opening (14) for receiving a needle assembly (100) in use. The device also comprises a loading mechanism (16) which is moveable in use to receive the needle assembly (100) via the opening (14) and secure the needle assembly (100) relative to the device body (12). The loading mechanism (16) is configured to receive and secure the needle assembly (100) upon force exerted on the loading mechanism (16) in a single direction (F D1 ).
Abstract:

Abstract:
This invention relates to apparatus and devices that generate sclerosing microfoams for the treatment of venous disorders, such as varicose veins. The invention includes adaptors which provide fluid connections to microfoam generating devices, to enable filling with gas and/or dispensing of the microfoam produced. The adaptors are generally cylindrical elements with open ends to enable attachment to pressurisable container on one end and are configured to enable rapid and easy attachment of a filling means or a dispensing means through the other end of the adaptor. A particular configuration comprises three or more circumferentially and downward extending cam tracks which cooperate with corresponding cams on the filling means or dispensing means and which connect a pressurisable container to a fluid path of a filling or dispensing means when the pressurisable container and filling or dispensing means are rotated relative to each other.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a connecting system for providing a fluidic connection, preferably between containers, wherein the connecting system comprises at least two connecting arrangements configured to produce the fluidic connection, the connecting arrangements each comprising an opening region which is fluidically sealed in an initial state and is, in particular, film-like, brittle, fragile and/or unstable, and wherein the opening regions are each covered in sterile or sterilisable manner.
Abstract:
A syringe-to-syringe coupling for facilitating the transfer of fluids or medications from a first syringe to a second syringe. In example embodiments, the coupling includes a centrally-positioned hub extending from a first end to a second end, and a fluid delivery conduit provided within the hub and extending between the first and second ends. In example forms, each end of the hub includes a male tip.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a container system having at least two containers, preferably bottles, each comprising a removal opening, preferably closed off by a septum in each case, wherein the containers comprise, on a side remote from the respective removal opening, particularly on the bottom of the respective bottle, a connecting arrangements for providing a fluidic connection between the containers, and/or having at least one container which comprises a removal opening, the container comprising, on a side remote from the removal opening, a removable, caplike cover which comprises a holding device, for a region of the container forming the removal opening, so that the cover can be used as a support foot for the container when it is held by the holding device by the region forming the removal opening.
Abstract:
Device (100) for reconstituting an active ingredient in sterile powder, comprising a vial (4) containing the active ingredient; a flexible bag (1) containing a sterile liquid; a connecting component (5) secured to the vial (4) and to the flexible bag (1); an elastomeric sealing ring (10) arranged between the connecting component (5) and the vial (4), an axially perforated spike (7), constrained to the connecting component (5), wherein a sterile chamber (70) is provided, delimited by the vial (4), by the connecting component (5) and by the sealing ring (10, 110), whereby the active ingredient is reconstituted in sterile conditions.
Abstract:
A device for transferring a toxic substance from a dispensing vessel to at least one receiving vessel comprising: (i) a receiving portion arranged to receive a dispensing vessel containing a toxic substance; and (ii) a transfer apparatus having a first infusion line adapted for fluid communication with the dispensing vessel to transfer a carrier fluid into said vessel and a second infusion line having one end adapted for fluid communication to withdraw and transfer the carrier fluid and the toxic substance from the dispensing vessel and the other end of the second infusion line arranged to connect with the at least one receiving vessel.

Abstract:
A fluid transfer device (10) includes a first portion (12) having a closed end (18) and an open end (20). The first portion (12) includes a first connector (22) configured to be connected to a first container (26) and including a cannula (24). The fluid transfer device (10) includes a second portion (14) having a closed end (30) and an open end (28). The open end (20) of the first portion (12) extends at least partially into the open end (28) of the second portion (14). The second portion (14) includes a second connector (32) configured to be connected to a second container (36) and a third connector (34) spaced apart from the second connector (32). At least a portion of the first portion (12) is axially and rotationally movable with respect to at least a portion of the second portion (14) from a first position in which the first connector (22) is aligned with the second connector (32) to a second position in which the first connector (22) is aligned with the third connector (34).
