Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a syringe and a manufacturing method capable of fluid-tightly filling a sterilized injection agent inside an outer jacket even without performing a sterilization processing by autoclave sterilization by closing a passage by thermal melt-sticking after filling the injection agent for the filling passage of the injection agent. SOLUTION: After the outer jacket 2 of this syringe 1 is assembled and a gasket 4A and a plug body 5 are completely combined, the inside of the outer jacket 2 is sterilized and also, the injection agent 3 is sterilely filled inside the outer jacket 2 after the processing through the filling passage 14. At the time of the filling, since the injection agent 3 is sterilely filled inside the outer jacket 2 without being in contact with an external environment at all, the sterilization guarantee is improved. For the filling passage, since the passage is closed by the thermal melt-sticking after filling the injection agent, even without performing the sterilization processing completely by the autoclave sterilization, the sterilized injection agent is fluid-tightly filled inside the outer jacket. In this manufacturing method of the syringe 1, though there is the possibility of being in contact with the external environment only at the moment of connecting a supply nozzle to the filling passage 14, the tip part of the supply nozzle is chemically processed or the like.

However, the conventional syringe has the following problems. First, it is difficult to guarantee sterility of the injection. When aseptically filling a syringe, at least one of a stopper and a gasket is attached to the outer cylinder, and the injection is filled into the outer cylinder through a sterilization filter from the other outer cylinder filling port. And closed liquid-tight. Such an operation is always performed in a sterile room, particularly in a clean room with high cleanliness. But,
Even with such aseptic filling, the injection has a long contact period with the outside world during the operation, so that sterility cannot be assured. In particular, in the case of a two-component syringe, aseptic filling is indispensable when one drug is filled with a lyophilized product, but further aseptic filling of an injection after filling the lyophilized product is difficult. Accompany. Second, in the case where an injection is liquid-tightly filled in an outer cylinder and then subjected to autoclave sterilization, sterilization is sufficiently guaranteed, but the amount of filler is limited. In particular, it is difficult to fill a drug that is weak to heat treatment. In recent years, the outer cylinder has been changed from glass to resin. This is because the resin outer cylinder is lightweight, has less damage, and is easy to dispose and incinerate. However, some resin outer tubes are deformed by heating during autoclave sterilization, and may not be used. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a syringe capable of reliably filling an outer cylinder with a sterile-treated injection liquid-tight without performing a complete sterilization treatment by autoclave sterilization and a method of manufacturing the same. .

There is no limitation on the size or shape of the filling passage formed in the resin member as long as the inside and outside of the outer tube communicate with each other. The passage is closed in a liquid-tight manner without contacting air or a jig. Further, even when a plunger or the like is pushed into the outer cylinder, the melted closing portion is not broken. Therefore, the filling passage must have a certain length as long as it can be blown out of the resin member. The length of the filling passage depends on the diameter and shape of the passage, but considering contact of the jig, at least 2.0 mm
The above length is required. The injection solution to be administered is aseptically filled into the outer cylinder through a sterilizing filter or the like. good. When the injection is classified, it may be a liquid-liquid or liquid-solid filled drug solution.

After sterilization, the assembled syringe is transported to a sterile filling chamber, and a supply nozzle of the filling chamber is aseptically connected to the filling passage. Then, the injection is filled from the supply nozzle into the inside of the outer cylinder between the gasket and the plug via the filling passage. When there is a sterilization filter in the filling passage, the sterilization filter can be broken and connected by the supply nozzle, and the supply nozzle is connected between the sterilization filters to fill the solution. Next, although the supply nozzle may be left attached, the intermediate portion of the filling passage is thermally melted by a heating cutting jig or the like, and the filling passage is closed. At the time of thermal fusing, it is performed so that the outside air does not touch the filling passage and the jig and the like do not touch. Thereby, the syringe according to the present invention can be manufactured. In the syringe configured as described above, after the inside of the outer cylinder is completely sterilized, the injection is filled as aseptically as possible, and since the injection does not come into contact with the outside world, the aseptic assurance is guaranteed. It will be more reliable. Also, when the syringe is used, even if the gasket is pressed, the filling passage is securely closed by heat welding, so that no liquid leakage or the like occurs at the time of sliding.

The thus constructed syringe 21 is provided with the outer cylinder 2.
Since the second end cylindrical member 22A is used as a lyophilization container for the lyophilization agent 32, it is possible to easily achieve economy and labor saving in the manufacturing process. Since the outer cylinder 22 is assembled and sterilized inside the outer cylinder 22 to be filled with the injection 23, no contact is made with the outside world until the final manufacturing process. Is almost completely done. When using the syringe 21, first, the stopper 28 is removed from the injection port 26, and the injection needle is attached to the injection port 26. Hold the syringe 21 with the injection port 26 up, and slowly push the plunger rod 41. Thereby, the gasket 35 slides in the outer cylinder 22 and the inner plug 31 slides. When the inner plug 31 is located in the groove 29 serving as the bypass means, the inner plug 31 stops but the gasket 35 slides as it is. By such sliding, the space between the inner plug 31 and the gasket 35 is contracted, and first, the air accumulated between the inner plug 31 and the gasket 35 flows to the injection port 27 through the groove 29, Then, the injection 23 as a solution flows toward the injection port 27. Thereby, the freeze-dried agent 32 dissolves in the injection 23. After dissolution,
After the air in the syringe 21 is evacuated, it is applied to the patient. Therefore, in the present invention, the bypass means of the distal end tubular member 22B is not limited to the structure of the groove portion 29, and may have an enlarged inner wall surface. It may be. Further, the number of the inner plugs 31 is not limited to one as in the present embodiment, and a plurality of them may be provided to be used as a multi-component syringe, or a liquid-liquid component may be used. Further, in each of the above embodiments, the sterilization in the outer cylinders 2 and 22 is γ-ray sterilization. However, in the present invention, chemical sterilization with ethylene oxide gas, or chemical sterilization with a liquid such as alcohol or formalin may be used. If a member having heat resistance is used, heat drying sterilization or heat steam sterilization may be used. Further, the sterilization may be performed not only by the γ-ray sterilization as described above but also by an electron beam or ultraviolet rays.
