- Plastic cork and/or plastic membrane are moist resistant and have characteristics such as great chemistry features, air-tight and non-toxic. They are especially applicable for sealing medical substances. As such, they are widely used in penicillin bottles, infusion fluid bottles made of glass, infusion fluid bottles made of plastic and plastic bags, etc. Currently commercial available penicillin bottles, infusion fluid bottles made of glass, infusion fluid bottles made of plastic and plastic bags are all designed integrally. When each of them is applied clinically, the needle of either the syringe or the infusion fluid bottle has to puncture through the plastic cork or the plastic membrane so as to allow the medication contained in the syringe or bottle to be mixed with other medications for the patients. Sometimes, during an entire medication process, the needle has to puncture through the plastic cork or the plastic membrane dozens of times. While the needle passes through the cork or the membrane, a large amount of debris of the cork or the membrane is thus generated and falls into the solution, which flows into the vein and may very well cause blood vein to clog. Taking this into consideration, it is necessary to introduce an improvement to obviate or at least reduce the problems caused by the conventional product.
- The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an improved puncture free bottle cork, which totally solves the problem caused by the fallen debris of the conventional bottle cork into the medication solution.

- The channel may also have different shapes designed to mate with the variety of syringe or the infusion bottle connector.
- There may be a single channel or multiple channels defined in the flange for easy adaption of the number of the syringes or the infusion bottle connectors.
- The channel is centrally defined in the extension of the bottle cork as well as in the body to literally pass through the entire bottle cork. In another embodiment of the present invention, the channel may be defined in the upper portion of the body and there is a path defined in the extension for containing mediation therein. In still another embodiment of the present invention, the channel is defined in the central portion of the body and the upper portion of the body has a receiving hole defined therein for receiving a needle of the syringe or the infusion bottle connector. Also the lower portion of the body has a path for containing therein medication.
- The channel is circular, a cut or conical in shape.
- The channel for the syringe or the infusion bottle connector is open.
- The channel for the syringe or the infusion bottle connector is closed. Then, there is an index on the body.
