However, since it has been pointed out in the United States that silicone oil may cause damage when it enters the human body, the amount of silicone oil applied is according to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Notification No. 442, and the disposable type is a small syringe with a capacity of 5 ml or less. Then 8m
It is strictly specified to be less than 15 g / piece, and even large syringes are less than 15 mg / piece. However, the application of silicone oil
Since a cotton swab or sponge is impregnated with silicone oil (2) and manually performed one by one, not only is it easy to apply unevenness, but also apply to the bottom (1b) of the cylinder (1) as shown in FIG. The accumulated silicone oil (2) accumulates, and there is also a problem that the accumulated silicone oil (2) and a thick-flowing portion having fluidity caused by the uneven coating are mixed with the injection solution and injected.

[0004] Furthermore, the most important thing in the manufacture of medical devices is that the final product is free from bacteria and also cytotoxicity causing infectious diseases, such as endotoxin generated from the dead body of Gram-negative bacteria. Is required. Therefore, the molded cylinder (1) is frequently sterilized and washed with ultrapure water in each step, and requires a great deal of labor to minimize the adhesion of bacteria. In the conventional method, even if using sterilized silicone oil and a cylinder (1) almost completely disinfected, and paying attention to the clothes and others of workers in a clean room where there is almost no bacteria,
And no matter how much attention is paid to the application operation, the adhesion of bacteria is inevitable as long as the application operation is performed manually. Once attached, the bacteria grow at the site of attachment. As the number of bacteria increases (especially on the surface coated with silicone oil) due to this growth, even if sterilized after the application operation, the number of bacteria that die by this sterilization operation increases, and the probability of endotoxin adhesion generated from the large number of dead bodies also increases. Of course it will increase. In addition, even if the bacteria increased by the growth are sterilized afterwards, there is a possibility that the number of bacteria that escape from the bacteria may increase. In addition, there is a problem in that the work is performed manually and not only is the product uneven, but also the work efficiency is extremely poor.

Here, the lubricating thin layer (2
The estimated mechanism of the formation process of a) will be described. No matter how precisely the surface of the cavity forming the mold cavity (4) is polished or otherwise processed, extremely fine irregularities on the order of submicrons (for example, 0.5 to 0.02 μm) remain with the current technology. . Now, silicone oil (2) on the convex part (3a)
When the silicone oil (2) is applied, the silicon oil (2) having a high viscosity does not enter the recess on the submicron level remaining on the surface of the projection (3a) due to its surface tension. (See FIG. 2 (b).) Therefore, when injection molding is performed at a high temperature and a high pressure as described above, the silicone oil (2) is pressed and spread on the surface of the convex portion (3a) by the high pressure of the injection resin, and at the same time, a part of the silicon oil (2) is spread. Is pressed into the recess, and a lubricating thin layer (2a) having irregularities is uniformly formed on the entire outer peripheral surface including at least the cylindrical outer peripheral surface (3d) of the convex portion (3a), and this is formed at least in the cylinder of the cylinder (1). Perimeter (1a)
And is integrally attached to the inner peripheral surface including. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, a thick portion (2b) of a submicron order (for example, 0.5 to 0.02 μm) is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the thin lubricating layer (2a). The sub-micron thick island-shaped portion (2b) spreads uniformly in an island shape as a whole, and most of the smooth sliding of the rubber sliding body (1d) is assisted. As a result, the application amount of the silicone oil (2) is extremely small as compared with the conventional example.

Example 1 Next, the results of experiments on the amount of silicone oil (polydimethylsiloxane) applied, slidability and appearance are shown. Cylinder oil was applied to the protrusions, and injection molding was performed as described above using polycarbonate as a raw material resin. When a thin lubricating layer is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder, the slipperiness of the butyl rubber sliding body attached to the tip of the syringe piston is remarkably improved.However, if the amount of application to the convex portion is too large, the cylinder becomes cloudy. This results in poor appearance. Conversely, if the coating amount is too small, the appearance is good but the slipperiness is impaired. The relationship between the amount of silicone oil applied and the slidability and appearance was examined as follows. (Example 2) Next, the results of experiments on the viscosity of silicone oil (polydimethylsiloxane), slidability and appearance will be described. From the above, when the silicone oil is polydimethylsiloxane as an area that clears both slidability and appearance,
It can be seen that the viscosity is 500 to 30,000 centistokes and the coating amount is 0.001 to 0.05 g / 100 cm 2 .

According to the present invention, a thin lubricating layer derived from silicon oil is integrally formed on at least the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder in which the rubber sliding body mounted on the tip of the piston slides. Even if the rubber sliding body is moved, there is almost no peeling of the lubricating thin layer and there is no mixing in the injection solution. In addition, if the silicon oil application area is limited to the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the convex part, not only the silicon oil application area can be minimized, but also the accumulation of silicon oil unlike the conventional case does not occur, Can increase the quality. Further, according to the method of the present invention, it is possible to form a thin lubricating layer only by applying silicone oil to the surface of the projection, and mass-produce a safe cylinder with very little bacterial adhesion and endotoxin by automation. Becomes possible. In addition, if printing is performed on the surface of the cylinder attached to the male mold after opening the mold, it is possible to shorten the printing process by quickly drying the printing ink and suppress the adhesion and growth of bacteria at the same time. There are advantages.
