Definitions
- the invention relates to a syringe prefilled with a medical liquid, comprising a syringe body with a Luer lock connection, and a method for producing the syringe body.
- Prefilled syringes which are also referred to as disposable syringes, can comprise a syringe body made of plastic.
- the syringe body has a nozzle on its end face to dispense the medical liquid it contains.
- the nozzle is used, for example, to connect a needle or a tube of a transfer system.
- Syringes with male Luer lock connectors are particularly widespread.
- the standardized conical nozzle is surrounded by a sleeve with an internal thread.
- a suitable plastic material should meet various requirements.
- the plastic material should be suitable for as many different medical fluids as possible. In particular, diffusion of constituents of the medical liquid into the material and also leaching of material components by the medical liquid should be largely avoided, even during long storage.
- a suitable plastic material should also be autoclavable.
- Cycloolefin copolymers have established themselves as particularly suitable materials. On the one hand, these are easy to process using the injection molding process. On the other hand, they are characterized by high rigidity and high hardness with a relatively low density at the same time. Such materials are also amorphous and highly transparent. They also have low water absorption and low water vapor permeability.
- Cycloolefin copolymers for example, have a relatively low elongation at break compared to polypropylene or polyethylene. This can lead, for example, to the Luer-Lock thread of the syringe being damaged if the connection of a transfer system is improperly tightened. Due to the brittleness of the material, the material cannot undergo any significant plastic deformation, so that such damage can occur quite abruptly. The user has almost no tactile feedback that he is tightening the connection too much.
- connection piece made of a softer material is injection-molded onto the rest of the syringe base body.
- the invention is based on the object of at least reducing the stated problems of the prior art.

- the invention provides in particular that at least the inner wall, preferably the entire side wall, of the syringe base body comprises a cycloolefin.
- the entire syringe body is provided by a cycloolefin.
- the first material consists preferably of at least 50 weight, particularly preferably at least 90 weight, of a cycloolefin.
- cycloolefin is understood to mean all cycloolefin copolymers which are obtained by catalyzed copolymerization of cycloolefins.
- cycloolefins are also understood to mean materials which are obtained by ring-opening salt metathesis. Strictly speaking, these are not referred to as cycloolefin copolymers, but rather as cycloolefin polymers.
- the cycloolefin can also be designed as a crystal clear polymer.
- the syringe body is from the
- the connecting piece which comprises the threaded connection, being made of a different material than the syringe base body.
- connection piece with the threaded connection is designed in such a way that the second material at least partially covers the first material at least on the front side.

- the structuring can also be viewed through a profile with mountains and valleys, the valleys being filled in by the other material.
- the surfaces made of the first and the second material adjoining one another at an interface within the two-layer region each comprise a surface relief with a profile structure which is filled by the other material in each case.
- the coefficient of linear thermal expansion in the case of cycloolefin copolymers is generally below 60 ⁇ 10 6 ⁇ Kl 1 .
- Polypropylenes have, for example, a significantly higher coefficient of thermal expansion, in particular of more than 150 ⁇ 10 6 ⁇ K 1 .
- the material connection does not break, especially in the case of an autoclaving process due to different thermal expansion of the two materials.
- the structuring also increases the size of the surface of an interface between the first and the second material.
- This interface is preferably at least 20% larger than an unstructured configuration.
- the structuring can provide a form fit between the first and the second material, in particular with respect to a torque between the components when a connector is connected to the threaded connection.
- injection molding around the nozzle with the second material can preferably be dispensed with. This can preferably any contact between the medical liquid and the second material can be avoided when used as intended.
- an injection molding tool can be used for the production of the syringe base body which comprises a negative profile in the form of the profile of the syringe base body.
- the front side of the end wall of the syringe base body and the rear side of the connection piece are materially connected to one another.
- connection piece is provided as a separate component which is mounted on the syringe base body.
- the connection piece is connected to the syringe base body in particular by means of gluing and / or welding.
- connection piece is injection-molded onto the syringe base body.
- the elevations can be designed as regular and / or irregular elevations.
- the depressions can also be designed as regular and / or irregular depressions.
- the elevations and / or the depressions are designed as concentric rings. With such a profiling, the elevations and the depressions run in particular radially from the inside to the outside. This results in a uniform pattern in particular everywhere

- other structures such as, for example, a wave shape, in particular a sinus shape, interlocking knobs, etc., are possible.
- elements of the structuring of the first material are conical.
- the elements of the structure e.g. the bars or knobs, taper towards the top. This makes it easier to provide the structuring of the second layer by molding on the second material. In particular, the tendency to form bubbles in the area adjoining the structural elements is reduced.
- the structuring on the front side of the end wall of the syringe base body comprises at least one web and / or a groove which extends from the nozzle, at least in sections, in the direction of the side wall.

- the structuring of the end wall of the syringe base body can have at least one, preferably a plurality, of radially extending webs and / or grooves.
- the webs or grooves can have any cross-section. However, they are preferably designed with a sawtooth profile.
- the web and the groove each form a form fit that acts as an anti-twist device.
- the structure can have a fan-like and / or star-like configuration in plan view.
- the bars of a fan are formed by radially extending webs and the covering is formed by the annularly extending profile between the webs. The fan extends around the threaded connection and takes up 360 ° of the end face.
- the structuring can have between 3 and 16, preferably between 6 and 10, webs and / or grooves which extend radially and are distributed around the circumference.
- the form fit provided by the structuring serves, in particular, to improve the strength of the connection in the event of a torque load, such as, for example, when the connection is screwed in strongly.
- a layer made of the second material around the threaded connection is thickened compared to a radially adjoining region of the layer made of the second material.
- the material of the second layer is thus reinforced by a thickening, such as a bead or an inner bevel. On the one hand, this reduces the risk of the threaded connection breaking off if it is tightened too much.
- the second material is preferably a plastic, in particular a transparent plastic, which can be processed by injection molding.
- the second material preferably has a higher notched impact strength than the first material.
- the second material has at least 20%, preferably at least 50%, higher notched impact strength than the first material.
- Notched impact strength is a material parameter that defines the tendency of the material to crack under dynamic loading. This is determined in the notched bar impact test. The dynamic bending caused by the sudden loading causes a break, often without the flow of the material observed during slow loading.
- all material parameters, in particular the notched impact strength and the following material parameters are determined under standard conditions, ie 20 ° C. and 50% air humidity.
- the notched impact strength within the meaning of the invention is determined in accordance with DIN ISO 179-1 (11/2010).
- a test specimen with a standardized shape is loaded with a notch by a pendulum hammer. With a defined kinetic energy, the impact pendulum notches the test body or pierces it. The notch is then measured or, if it breaks through, the height to which the pendulum swings back is recorded.
- the impact energy consumed can be calculated from the weight of the impact pendulum and the difference between the pendulum start and end position, with the impact work being the product of the specimen cross section and notched impact strength.
- Cycloolefins generally have a notched impact strength of less than 3 kJ / m 2 .
- the second material should have a higher notched impact strength, in particular of more than 3.5 kJ / m 2 , preferably of more than 5 kJ / m 2 .

- the second material has a smaller modulus of elasticity than the first material.
- the modulus of elasticity of the second material (according to DIN ISO 527-1 (22019) is between 1000 and 1800

- the second material has at least 1.5 times, preferably at least 5 times, particularly preferably at least 10 times, higher elongation at break than the first material.
- the elongation at break is also determined in accordance with DIN ISO 527-1. This is given in%.
- the cycloolefin used can, for example, have an elongation at break of less than 5%, whereas, for example, a polypropylene used can have an elongation at break of 100% or more.
- the material In order to break the thread connection, the material must be deformed beyond the upper yield point. A trained user usually notices the subsequent deformation in the plastic area of a material with high elongation at break, so that he recognizes that the load-bearing limit of the connection has actually already been exceeded.
- the structuring on the front side of the end wall of the syringe base body is limited in particular by a radially circumferential web.
- the structuring ends within the end wall of the tip body.
- the web can in particular be formed by a front section of the side wall of the syringe base body. The highly transparent appearance of the side wall is completely retained.
- the structuring ends when the inner side wall is reached.
- the side wall extends as far as a front edge of the syringe body and the structuring ends directly on the side wall.
- the entire front wall can be used to provide the structuring.
