- a freeze-drying stopper made of rubber-elastic material, consisting of a pin and an associated one-piece circular-shaped flange.
- the pin includes a cavity surrounding the pin longitudinal axis which is open to the free pin end face and extends to a central closed wall portion of the flange.
- a first portion of the pin located between a first transverse plane defined by the lower boundary surface of the flange and a second plane has a closed outer peripheral surface having a maximum diameter.
- a subsequent second section includes a passage communicating with the cavity, as well as a plurality of protruding barriers.
- DE 10 2008 060 457 A1 describes a method of manufacturing a closure.
- a method for producing a closure (1) for a sterile medicament container it is provided that in an inelastic closure body (2) having at least one puncture opening (11), an elastic sealing element (3) is used, which at least one Closing opening (11) sealing.
- the sealing element (3) is materially connected to the closure body (2), in which on the sealing element (3) and the closure body (2) mating areas (12,13) are melted prior to insertion, wherein the fused areas (12, 13) upon insertion of the sealing element (3) are brought into contact with each other, cool and connect.
- DE-PS 25 04 253 describes a container for storing and dispensing sterile solutions.
- this container comprises a tightly closed inlet device with a laterally projecting at the end of a neck integrally formed with the neck wall, the opening of the neck before enclosing flange, wherein further in a space enclosed by a side wall of the inlet device space at least one passage is arranged and the Side wall at one end surrounding lateral projecting flange covers the flange provided on the neck and is tightly connected thereto.
- the problem with the closure caps described in the prior art is the permanent connection of these with the bottle mouth of the infusion solution container.
- the state of the art makes its own to press the plug into the mouth of the bottle, as is customary, for example, in the closure of sparkling wine corks.
- the flange of the sparkling wine cork limits the immersion depth of the cork in the bottle. In this case, however, a removal or introduction of liquid from or into the container or a re-seal after the removal or the introduction of liquid into the container is not possible without completely removing the cork.
- the object of the present invention is further to reduce the dead volume in the area of the bottle mouth of an infusion solution container.
- the present invention is, in particular, a closure or access cap 1 for removing solutions, in particular outside rigid container systems.
- the cap 1 is placed on the edge or flange 2 provided on the container and connected to the infusion solution container in a materially or force-locking manner.
- the construction of the cap 1 according to the invention is particularly tailored to open containers, generally made by extrusion blown (EBM) or injection stretch blown (ISBM).
- EBM extrusion blown
- ISBM injection stretch blown
- the geometry of the flanges corresponds to the degree of ovality of the Flanschkorpuses and can be carried out accordingly circular or elliptical.
- the entire system consists structurally of the actual cap body 1 with the connecting flange 2, the inserted plug 3 for injecting or removing solutions with re-sealing, their designed as receiving areas for infusion solution channels 5a, 5b and in particular a sealing film 8 with originality.
- the latter can, depending on the design in principle be sealed over the entire surface of the cap 1 or only partially in the area of the plug.
- a separating membrane is preferably injected radially inwards. This can be integrally connected to the cap body 1 depending on the design or consist of two parts, which are connected to one another in a material-locking manner, for example, in a separate joining process.
- connection of the plug 3 with the cap body 1 can be done in principle by joining, for example, laser welding, Verbörderln the receiving cups or clamps with holding a separate part.
- the sealing of the cover sheet 10 takes place - as the name implies - via a sealing process, which represents the appropriate technology for films of this type. It thus corresponds to commercially available caps 1, depending on the type of components used.
- the container systems for infusion solutions available on the market contain a greater or lesser amount of air above the solution level. This allows for a uniform flow or withdrawal rate, depending on the flexibility of the container, and also controls the residual volume remaining in the container after infusion. In addition to the aforementioned container air volume, the so-called headspace, but also the depth of penetration of the infusion spike or around the spike located around, not the spike opening detectable volume is responsible. This is where the essence of the present invention begins.
- the plug 3 or the septum is laid inwards into the bottle mouth.
- the open mouth region, in particular ISBM-produced container allows such a construction.
- the cap body 1 which points into the mouth area of the bottle fills the bottleneck volume almost completely and drastically reduces the residual volume in the container after removal. Because the cap body 1 located in the mouth region bridges the liquid volume not detected by the spike, the residual volume can be drastically reduced to values of, for example, less than 2 ml.
- channels 5a, 5b are made possible in particular by communicating channels 5a, 5b between the two puncture openings and further channels which extend in the direction of the circumference of the body of the cap 1.
- the channels 5a, 5b become tubes to be communicated and thereby allow, also the emptying of the unused puncture site, in the event that more than one stopper is provided.
- the cap 1 according to the invention is suitable with a particular circular disc-shaped flange 2 for connection to a likewise in particular circular disc-shaped flange 2 of an infusion container.
- the connection of the two flanges 2 can be done either by external heat input, such as infrared welding or internal heat generation by ultrasound, vertical or oscillating. In addition to welding, gluing, pressing or clipping is also possible.
- An encapsulation of the components is also a way to connect the cap 1 according to the invention with the infusion solution container.
- the cap 1 or displacer 4 it is important for the purposes of the present invention that it has an undersize or is conical, but does not seal the bottleneck. While an interference fit is produced in the prior art, according to the invention a gap remains between the displacement body 4 and the neck of the bottle which fills with liquid in use and also forms an optionally colored capillary gap depending on the coloring of the liquid.
- the plugs 3 may be formed as a septum, which are microbiologically sealingly connected to the cap 1 according to known methods.
- the closure cap 1 according to the invention can also have further webs 9 in the region of the disk-shaped flange 2. These extend over a planar annular Boundary surface of the flange 2 in a length which allows a positive, cohesive or non-positive connection of this flange 2 with a flange 2 of the infusion solution container. Accordingly, the preferably annular bearing surface of the flange 2 has a larger radius than the likewise annular boundary surface which is encompassed by the grooves 7.
- additional injection volumes can be added for the injection region in addition to the container solution with a conventional hypodermic needle.
- the withdrawal port may be pierced with a commercial spike for administration of the solution as in the prior art.
- the removal of the solution can also be done via a needle-free access, which eliminates the use of a needle.
- a closure cap 1 according to the invention is shown with a circular disc-shaped flange 2, which (not shown) for connection to a likewise circular disc-shaped flange 2 of an infusion container.
- the cap 1 herein comprises two integral plugs 3a, 3b for withdrawing or introducing liquid from or into the container, and for resealing after removal or introduction of liquid. According to the invention, however, it is not absolutely necessary for two plugs 3a, 3b to be integrated in the cap 1.
- an essential embodiment of the present invention is to integrate only one plug 3a in the cap 1 according to the invention.
- the plugs 3a, 3b are preferably made of elastic material, in particular made of a thermoplastic material, and connected in a conventional manner to the body microbiologically sealing.
- the cap 1 according to the invention also has a body 4 directed inwards, in the direction of the bottle mouth, which is designed in the form of a displacement body 4. With the help of this displacement body 4, the dead volume of the container is reduced overall. Contrary to the prior art, the displacer 4 (not shown) with respect to the bottle mouth preferably an undersize, so that this displacer 4 can dive without effort in this bottle mouth.
- the sealing film 10 which covers the two plugs 3a, 3b here. Further recognizable are the channels 5a, 5b, with the communicating passages / cuts 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d. These allow the fluid exchange between the channels 5a, 5b, especially if they extend only over part of the length of the body 4.
- the passages / cuts of the channels are in the Fig. 2 once again clearly highlighted.
- the communicating channels 5a, 5b thus allow the residual volume from the injection area to flow into the removal area for removal there.
- 4 passages / cuts 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d are present in the outer periphery of the displacement body, allow the complete flushing all areas of the bottle mouth.
- the passages / cuts 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d allow the insertion of the stopper 1 into the neck of the bottle, in particular, if the carcass 4 is not made undersized with respect to the neck of the bottle.

Abstract
Description
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Verschlusskappe mit einem Flansch zur Verbindung mit einem Flansch eines Infusionslösungsbehälters, wobei die Kappe wenigstens einen integrierten Stopfen zur Entnahme oder zur Einbringung von Flüssigkeiten aus dem oder in den Behälter und zur Wiederabdichtung nach der Entnahme oder der Einbringung von Flüssigkeit aufweist.The invention relates to a cap with a flange for connection to a flange of an infusion solution container, wherein the cap has at least one integrated stopper for the removal or introduction of liquids from or into the container and for resealing after the removal or the introduction of liquid.
Problematisch bei den im Stand der Technik beschriebenen Verschlusskappen ist die dauerhafte Verbindung dieser mit der Flaschenmündung des Infusionslösungsbehälters. Hier macht sich der Stand der Technik zu eigen, den Stopfen in die Flaschenmündung hineinzupressen, wie dies beispielsweise beim Verschluss von Schaumweinkorken üblich ist. Der Flansch des Schaumweinkorkens begrenzt dabei die Eintauchtiefe des Korkens in die Flasche. Hierbei ist jedoch eine Entnahme oder Einbringung von Flüssigkeit aus den oder in den Behälter oder auch eine Wiederabdichtung nach der Entnahme oder der Einbringung von Flüssigkeit in den Behälter nicht möglich, ohne den Korken vollständig zu entfernen.The problem with the closure caps described in the prior art is the permanent connection of these with the bottle mouth of the infusion solution container. Here, the state of the art makes its own to press the plug into the mouth of the bottle, as is customary, for example, in the closure of sparkling wine corks. The flange of the sparkling wine cork limits the immersion depth of the cork in the bottle. In this case, however, a removal or introduction of liquid from or into the container or a re-seal after the removal or the introduction of liquid into the container is not possible without completely removing the cork.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht weiter darin, das Totvolumen im Bereich der Flaschenmündung eines Infusionslösungsbehälters zu reduzieren.The object of the present invention is further to reduce the dead volume in the area of the bottle mouth of an infusion solution container.
Die vorliegende Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Verschlusskappe 1 mit einem scheibenförmigen Flansch 2 zur Verbindung mit einem scheibenförmigen Flansch eines Infusionslösungsbehälters, wobei die Kappe 1 wenigstens einen integrierten Stopfen 3a,3b zur Entnahme oder zur Einbringung von Flüssigkeit aus dem oder in den Behälter und zur Wiederabdichtung nach der Entnahme oder der Einbringung von Flüssigkeit aufweist, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die Kappe 1 einen nach innen, in Richtung der Flaschenmündung, gerichteten Korpus 4 in Form eines Verdrängerkörpers aufweist, der das Totvolumen des Behälters reduziert und auf Grund eines Untermaßes gegenüber der Flaschenmündung ohne Kraftaufwand in diese eintauchen kann.The present object is achieved by a
Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung handelt es sich insbesondere um eine Verschluss- oder Zugangskappe 1 zur Entnahme von Lösungen, insbesondere außerhalb starren Behältersystemen. Die Kappe 1 wird auf den am Behälter vorgesehenen Rand oder Flansch 2 aufgesetzt und stoffschlüssig oder kraftschlüssig mit dem Infusionslösungsbehälter verbunden. Die Konstruktion der erfindungsgemäßen Kappe 1 ist insbesondere auf offene Behälter zugeschnitten, die im Allgemeinen im Extrusionsblasverfahren (EBM) oder Spritz-Streckblasverfahren (ISBM) hergestellt werden. Vorzugsweise entspricht die Geometrie der Flansche dem Ovalitätsgrad des Flanschkorpuses und kann dementsprechend kreisrund oder elliptisch ausgeführt sein.The present invention is, in particular, a closure or
Das Gesamtsystem besteht konstruktiv aus dem eigentlichen Kappenkörper 1 mit dem Verbindungsflansch 2, den eingelegten Stopfen 3 zum Zuspritzen oder Entnehmen von Lösungen mit Wiederabdichtung, deren als Aufnahmebereiche für Infusionslösung ausgeführten Kanäle 5a, 5b sowie insbesondere einer Siegelfolie 8 mit Originalitätsnachweis. Letztere kann abhängig von der Bauart prinzipiell ganzflächig auf die Kappe 1 aufgesiegelt werden oder auch nur partiell im Bereich der Stopfen 3.The entire system consists structurally of the
Um der erfinderischen Kappe 1 Verdrängungseigenschaften für das Flaschenhalsvolumen zu geben, ist vorzugsweise innen radial eine Trennmembran angespritzt. Diese kann abhängig von der Ausführung einteilig mit dem Kappenkörper 1 verbunden sein oder aus zwei Teilen bestehen, die beispielsweise in einem separaten Fügeprozess stoffschlüssig miteinander verbunden werden.In order to give the
Die Verbindung der Stopfen 3 mit dem Kappenkörper 1 kann prinzipiell durch Fügen, beispielsweise Laserschweißen, Verbörderln der Aufnahmenäpfe oder Klemmen mit Gegenhalten eines separaten Teils erfolgen. Das Aufsiegeln der Deckfolie 10 erfolgt - wie der Name schon sagt - über einen Siegelprozess, der für Folien dieser Art die geeignete Technologie darstellt. Sie entspricht damit von der Art der verwendeten Komponenten her handelsüblichen Kappen 1.The connection of the plug 3 with the
Die am Markt befindlichen Behältersysteme für Infusionslösungen enthalten eine mehr oder weniger große Menge an Luft oberhalb des Lösungsspiegels. Diese ermöglicht abhängig von der Flexibilität des Behälters eine gleichmäßige Fluss- oder Entnahmerate und reguliert auch das nach der Infusion im Behälter verbleibende Restvolumen. Neben dem erwähnter Behälterluftvolumen, dem sogenannten Headspace, ist aber auch die Eindringtiefe des Infusionsspikes bzw. das um den Spike herum befindliche, nicht der Spikeöffnung erfassbare Volumen verantwortlich. Hier setzt der Kern der vorliegenden Erfindung an.The container systems for infusion solutions available on the market contain a greater or lesser amount of air above the solution level. This allows for a uniform flow or withdrawal rate, depending on the flexibility of the container, and also controls the residual volume remaining in the container after infusion. In addition to the aforementioned container air volume, the so-called headspace, but also the depth of penetration of the infusion spike or around the spike located around, not the spike opening detectable volume is responsible. This is where the essence of the present invention begins.
Während die üblichen, am Markt befindlichen Kappensysteme für halbstarre Infusionslösungsbehälter einen nach außen gestellten Entnahmebereich aufweisen, der in seiner Gestaltung auf die Dimensionen der Kopfmembran der BFS-Container zugeschnitten ist, wird erfindungsgemäß der Stopfen 3, beziehungsweise das Septum nach innen in die Flaschenmündung verlegt. Der offene Mündungsbereich, insbesondere ISBM-hergestellte Behälter erlaubt eine derartige Bauweise. Der in den Mündungsbereich der Flasche zeigende Kappenkörper 1 füllt das Flaschenhalsvolumen nahezu vollständig aus und reduziert das Restvolumen im Behälter nach der Entnahme drastisch. Dadurch, dass der im Mündungsbereich liegende Kappenkörper 1 das vom Spike nicht erfasste Flüssigkeitsvolumen überbrückt, kann das Restvolumen drastisch auf Werte von beispielsweise unterhalb 2 ml verringert werden.While the usual capsule systems on the market for semi-rigid infusion solution containers have an outward removal region whose design is tailored to the dimensions of the head membrane of the BFS containers, according to the invention the plug 3 or the septum is laid inwards into the bottle mouth. The open mouth region, in particular ISBM-produced container allows such a construction. The
Diese geringen Totvolumina werden insbesondere durch kommunizierende Kanäle 5a, 5b zwischen den beiden Einstichöffnungen sowie weiteren Kanälen ermöglicht, die sich in Richtung des Umfangs des Korpus der Kappe 1 erstrecken. Somit werden die Kanäle 5a, 5b zu kommunizierenden Röhren und erlauben dadurch, auch das Leerlaufen der jeweils nicht benutzten Einstichstelle, für den Fall, dass mehr als ein Stopfen vorgesehen ist.These small dead volumes are made possible in particular by communicating
Die erfindungsgemäße Verschlusskappe 1 ist mit einem insbesondere kreisscheibenförmigen Flansch 2 zur Verbindung mit einem ebenfalls insbesondere kreisscheibenförmigen Flansch 2 eines Infusionsbehälters geeignet. Die Verbindung der beiden Flansche 2 kann entweder über externen Wärmeeintrag, beispielsweise Infrarotschweißen oder interne Wärmeerzeugung per Ultraschall, vertikal oder oszillierend erfolgen. Auch ist neben dem Verschweißen das Verkleben, Verpressen oder Verklipsen möglich. Eine Umspritzung der Komponenten ist ebenfalls eine Möglichkeit die erfindungsgemäße Verschlusskappe 1 mit dem Infusionslösungsbehälter zu verbinden.The
In Bezug auf die dimensionale Ausführung des Kappen- 1 oder Verdrängerkörpers 4 ist es im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung von Bedeutung, dass dieser ein Untermaß aufweist oder konisch ist, jedoch nicht abdichtend zum Flaschenhals erfolgt. Während im Stand der Technik ein Presssitz erzeugt wird, bleibt erfindungsgemäß zwischen dem Verdrängungskörper 4 und dem Flaschenhals ein Spalt, der sich bei Gebrauch mit Flüssigkeit füllt und abhängig von der Einfärbung der Flüssigkeit auch einen gegebenenfalls farbigen Kapillarspalt bildet.With regard to the dimensional design of the
Am Verdrängerkörper 4 angebrachte Stege 8 im Bereich und entlang der zylindrischen Mantelfläche erlauben gezielt den Zugang der Flüssigkeit in diesen Bereich. Diese zunächst nachteilig erscheinende Eigenschaft der nicht abdichtenden Gestaltung macht die Validierung des Sterilisationsprozesses aber deutlich einfacher, da der Ringspalt den Zutritt der Behälterflüssigkeit in alle Bereiche des Flaschenhalses erlaubt und so als Indikator für eine erfolgte Autoklavierung auch eine Sterilisierung der Flaschenmündung erlaubt.On the displacer 4 mounted
Wie im Stand der Technik üblich, können die Stopfen 3 als Septum ausgebildet sein, die nach an sich bekannten Verfahren mikrobiologisch abdichtend mit der Kappe 1 verbunden sind. Neben den Stegen 8 des Verdrängerkörpers 4 kann die erfindungsgemäße Verschlusskappe 1 auch weitere Stege 9 im Bereich des scheibenförmigen Flanschs 2 aufweisen. Diese erstrecken sich über eine plane ringförmige Begrenzungsfläche des Flansches 2 in einer Länge, die eine formschlüssige, stoffschlüssige oder kraftschlüssige Verbindung dieses Flansches 2 mit einem Flansch 2 des Infusionslösungsbehälters ermöglicht. Dementsprechend weist die vorzugsweise kreisringförmige Auflagefläche des Flansches 2 einen größeren Radius auf, als die ebenfalls kreisringförmige Begrenzungsfläche, die durch die Rillen 7 umfasst ist.As is usual in the prior art, the plugs 3 may be formed as a septum, which are microbiologically sealingly connected to the
Durch die, sich im Bereich der Kappe 1 befindlichen Stopfen 3 kann für den Zuspritzbereich zusätzlich zur Behälterlösung mit einer üblichen hypodermischen Nadel auch weiteres Zuspritzvolumina zugegeben werden. Der Entnahmeport kann zur Verabreichung der Lösung, wie im Stand der Technik auch, mit einem handelsüblichen Spike durchstochen werden. Je nach Anwendungsfall und Bauform kann die Entnahme der Lösung auch über einen Needle-free-Zugang erfolgen, was die Benutzung einer Nadel eliminiert.By means of the plug 3 located in the region of the
