Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plug for closing a medical system, a method for closing a medical system, and the medical system itself, which is closed with the stopper according to the invention.
  • Medical systems such as medical pouches are used millions of times in medicine and are used to store blood or infusion solutions. For this purpose, they must be completely sterile, which is usually achieved by heating to at least 100 ° C, in particular to about 121 ° C. Moreover, such a bag must be lightweight, inexpensive and manufacturable in an automated manufacturing process and be disposable because of its shortness after use.
  • Typical medical pouches are disclosed in US-A 4,516,977.
  • This document discloses bags made of polyolefin-based plastic materials, including those based on polyethylene, -propylene and -butylene.
  • those plastic materials are also mentioned which represent substituted Olef ⁇ ne, for example, methyl, ethyl, vinyl or halogen atom substituents carry.
  • Copolymers or blends of corresponding materials are also proposed here.
  • polyethylenes of moderate to high density, high molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution are given.
  • inserts are used, which allow access to the interior of the bag.
  • insert pieces are already known in various embodiments and described for example in DE 33 05 365 C2 and DE 196 34 944 Cl.
  • two production methods are generally used.
  • the medical bags can first be filled with the corresponding liquid, the inserts are then, ie after the filling process, welded into the bag, this being completely closed at the same time.
  • the respective insert before filling into the medical bag integrate and then accomplish the filling.
  • a separate filling opening is usually used, which is formed by a recess in the edge welding of the film bag and is welded or sealed after filling.
  • Another way to fill the medical bag or remove its contents provide connections to which hoses can be connected, or openings that are closed with a pierceable stopper. These systems are usually welded to the bag material and are usually expensive to produce.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a plug for closing a medical system, for example a bag, which is suitable in a simple manner for the firm, that is permanent and fluid-tight closing of an opening of this medical system. Furthermore, the stopper should be pierceable by a needle or a spike, whereby a single or repeated removal of liquid from the medical system should be ensured. It is a further object of the invention to provide a method for the simple and economic closing of a medical system, in particular a medical bag.
  • a preferably cylindrical plug with two opposite end faces for closing a medical system, wherein the plug comprises a core and optionally one or more layer (s) surrounding the core, and the plug

  • the outer layer (C) is designed so that it gives the core (A) and optionally the intermediate layer (B) a process stability, whereby coextrusion of the plug materials is made possible to a multilayer strand or plug strand.
  • the term "high resilience" is to be understood that the materials of the core (A) of the plug are selected so that it closes even after repeated piercing and pulling out of a cannula still tight.
  • Preferred materials for the core (A) are polyphenylene oxide, SEPS / SEP copolymers, medicinal white oil and polybutylene (PB).
  • the core A from 20 to 40 wt .-% SEB, 20 to 40 wt .-% medicinal white oil, 5 to 15 wt .-% polyphenylene oxide, 10 to 30 wt .-% polypropylene (PP) and made up to 10 wt .-% filler.

  • the core may each be contained in a proportion of up to 10 wt .-% in the core, or the layer (B) or the layer (C).
  • the plug may also contain further additives known to the person skilled in the art, which usually involve the exact setting of the material properties to the requirements of the particular application and the improvement of the chemical and mechanical properties
  • Such additives include plasticizers, antioxidants, and others.
  • Additives may each be contained in a proportion of up to 10% by weight in the core, or layer (B) or outer layer (C).

  • Preferred polymer compositions for the outer layer (C) are polyethylene copolymers in combination with polypropylene; SEB / SEP in combination with polypropylene; and a blend of polypropylene, SEB and polyethylene copolymers.
  • the plug is suitable for closing a bag, in particular for closing a medical bag.
  • a plug as described above may be used whose core material (A) in the absence of the outer layer (C) or its outer layer material (C) at temperatures greater than 90 0 C tends to flow.
  • the outer layer (C) is made of about 100% by weight of polyester, about 100% by weight of polycarbonate or about 100% by weight of PMP.
