Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a storage bottle containing a component of a medicinal substance and a transfer device for transferring this substance directly, or after having mixed it with another substance, in an end-use container, this bottle comprising an open narrowed neck and the transfer device comprising a closure member at least partially engaged in this neck, at least during storage.
  • the medicinal substances are usually stored in containers which can be either glass vials sealed with flame, or bottles closed by a stopper shutter.
  • containers which can be either glass vials sealed with flame, or bottles closed by a stopper shutter.
