Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for manufacturing a syringe for medical purposes according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for manufacturing a syringe for medical purposes according to the preamble of claim 12.
- syringes serve to firmly connect the cannula to the main body of syringes.
- Pre-filled syringes produced in this way form the majority of the primary packaging used for the parenteral application of injectables. They have a glass cylinder, referred to here as a syringe body, which is rolled out on one side to form a cone receiving the cannula and on the other side to form a special rolled edge.
- a cannula which is preferably made of stainless steel, is firmly glued into the opening of the glass cylinder with the cone using a UV-sensitive adhesive.
- a cannula protective cap which consists of an elastomer, preferably of latex-free natural rubber, is usually placed over the cannula. The cannula protection cap is firmly clamped onto the glass cone when it is put on. The syringe barrel is filled from the end opposite the cannula, which is then closed by a piston stopper that is preferably provided with a thread.
- a plastic finger rest is attached to the glass cylinder by means of the rear rolled edge of the glass cylinder.
- Gluing the cannula to the glass cylinder has some significant disadvantages: Occasionally, the gluing is insufficient, as too little adhesive is introduced into the joint gap between the cone and the cannula. This means that the cannula is not sufficiently fixed after the adhesive has hardened and can be pulled out of the cone. It can also happen that too much adhesive is placed in the joint gap. As a result, the excess adhesive runs down in the joint gap and finally flows into the proximal end of the channel lumen. This can lead to a complete closure of the cannula. Often, the cannula is not noticed until an attempt is made to inject the contents of the syringe.
- Syringes are usually subjected to an autoclaving process, that is, a steam sterilization process, in order to kill any germs.
- This process takes place in an autoclave for about 20 to 60 minutes at a temperature of 121 ° C and a pressure of 1.10 bar in the autoclave, depending on the product placed in the syringe barrel.
- the syringe system can only be 100% pyrogen-free if the The pre-filled syringe is subjected to baked-on siliconization.
- the inner surface of the syringe body is provided with silicone and the syringe is guided through a hot air tunnel, which is operated, for example, at a temperature of approx. 340 ° C.
- this process step cannot be carried out with conventional UV-curing, pharmaceutically approved adhesives, since these are only heat-resistant up to a maximum temperature of approx. 150 ° C. At a higher temperature, you lose the strength acquired after curing.
- a device which has the features mentioned in claim 1. It is characterized by a laser radiation source, which is used to generate a laser beam. It also includes a beam shaping and / or steering device. This serves to direct the laser beam onto the joining zone between the syringe body and the cannula and, if necessary, to adapt the beam geometry to a desired melting process. Finally, the device comprises a receiving device for holding and positioning the syringe body. Further configurations result from the remaining subclaims.
- a method of the type mentioned which comprises the steps mentioned in claim 12 and is characterized in that the joining zone between a syringe body and a cannula is exposed to a laser beam, that the material of the syringe body in this area is at least partially melted and that this material is cooled to solidify the joining zone and to fix the cannula in the syringe body.

- the device 1 also has a beam steering device 7 with mirrors 8a and 8b, which ultimately serves to generate the laser beam 9 generated by the laser resonator 5 to point to a syringe 11, which comprises a syringe body 13 and a cannula 15.
- the syringe 11 is held by a suitable holding device 17, which comprises a positioning device 19 and a holding mandrel 21 for holding the syringe body 13.
- the beam steering device 7 comprises a scanner device 23 with two movable mirrors.
- a first scanner mirror 25 can be rotated about a first axis of rotation 27, which is indicated by an arrow 29.
- a second scanner mirror 31 of the scanner device is arranged inclined at 45 ° with respect to the first scanner mirror 25 and, as indicated by an arrow 33, can be pivoted about a second axis of rotation 35.
- the axes of rotation 27 and 35 are connected to suitable control devices, not shown here, which bring about a specific pivoting movement of the scanner mirrors 25 and 31.
- the first scanner mirror 25 is used, for example, to move the laser beam 9 in a first direction, for example the x direction, while the second scanner mirror 31 is used to move the laser beam 9 in a second direction, for example the y direction , that is perpendicular to the first direction.
- the scanner device 23 In the direction of the laser beam 9 emanating from the laser resonator 5, the scanner device 23 is followed by a focusing unit 37, which serves to focus the laser beam 9 on the joining zone between the cannula 15 and the syringe body 13.
- An arrow 39 indicates that the xy movement of the laser beam 9 is so different from that Scanner device 23 causes the laser beam 9 here to follow a circular path in order to sweep over the joining zone 41.
- the scanner device 23 is designed such that the laser beam 9 can follow any desired contour.
- the positioning device 19 of the receiving device 17 is designed here so that the syringe 11 is held firmly in a desired position so that the joining zone 41 can be acted upon in the desired manner by the laser beam 9, the beam movement being effected by the scanner device 23 and the laser beam 9 is focused on the joining zone 41 by means of the focusing unit 37.
- the focussing surface 37 can be influenced with the aid of the focusing device 37, that is to say the light point caused by the laser beam 9 in the region of the joining zone 41.
- the focusing unit 37 comprises a plane field lens. The focusing unit 37 can thus be implemented in a simple, inexpensive manner.
- the holding device 17 in such a way that the holding mandrel 21 is set in rotation, so that the syringe 11 also rotates.
- This rotational movement can be desired in addition to the movement of the laser beam 9 caused by the scanner device 23.
- the scanner device 23 in such a way that the laser beam 9 is focused in a point or an area of the joining zone 41 and that the syringe 11 is then set in rotation in order to ultimately apply the laser beam 9 to align the entire joining zone 41.
- the syringe 11 is at a standstill and that the laser beam 9 executes a movement in the region of the joining zone 41 with the aid of the scanner device 23.
- FIG. 2 shows a device 1 for manufacturing a syringe for medical purposes in a modified form.
- the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals, so that reference is made to the description of FIG. 1 above.
- the device 1 in turn comprises a laser beam generating device 3 with the usual elements. It is briefly referred to as laser resonator 5 below. This emits a laser beam 9 via a beam steering device 7, which is directed onto the syringe 11, in particular onto the focusing zone 41.
- the syringe 11 here also comprises a syringe body 13 and a cannula 15. It is received by a receiving device 17 with a positioning device 19 and a mandrel 21 held.
- the beam steering device 7 has a mirror 8c.
- the first two mirrors 8a and 8b serve to deflect the beam emerging from the laser resonator 5 by 90 ° in such a way that it strikes the third mirror 8c horizontally from the left and is deflected there by 90 ° in order to hit the syringe 11 and the other Joining zone 41.
- a processing head 43 is provided between the third mirror 8c and the joining zone 41, which includes a focusing unit 37 and is used to focus the laser beam 9 on the joining zone 41.
- the processing head 43 is designed such that the laser beam 9 is not subjected to any additional movement, as is the case with the scanner device 23 according to FIG. 1. It is therefore provided in the device 1 according to FIG. 2 that the holding device 17 is designed such that the holding mandrel 21 is set in rotation.
- the immobile laser steel 9 directed towards the syringe 11 thus ultimately sweeps over the entire joining zone 41, the size of the laser focus or laser point caused by the laser beam 9 being able to be influenced by the focusing unit 37.
- FIG. 3 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a device 1.
- the same parts are again provided with the same reference numbers, so that reference is made to the description of the preceding figures.
- the device 1 comprises a laser generating device 3 with a laser resonator 5 which emits a laser beam 9 which falls on a beam steering device 7 and is directed onto a joining zone 41.
- a receiving device 17 holds a syringe 11 with a syringe body 13 and a cannula 15.
- the receiving device 17 comprises a positioning device 19 with a receiving mandrel 21 which the syringe 11 holds.
- the entire receiving device 17 is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis 45, which is indicated by an arrow 47.
- the laser beam 9 was directed from the front onto the joint 41, in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3 the laser beam 9 falls laterally onto the syringe 11 or its joining zone 41.
- the receiving device 17 is arranged such that the syringe 11 is held horizontally, which is also referred to as the 0 ° position.
- the beam steering device 7 is designed such that the laser beam 9 is focused on the joining zone 41 and that the shape of the laser focus in the area of the joining zone can also be changed. It is therefore possible to create a round or oval laser spot in the area of the joining zone.
- the laser beam 9 is not moved in the embodiment of the device 1 shown in FIG. 3.
- the syringe 11 is rotated at a predetermined, desired rotational speed in order to uniformly apply the laser beam to the joining zone 41.
- the syringe 11 can be pivoted more or less out of the horizontal position, so that the joining zone 41 is exposed to the laser beam more or less from the front. is struck.
- the joining zone 41 can also be exposed to the laser beam from above or from the front. It is therefore possible to use the receiving device 17, as shown in FIG. 3, instead of the receiving devices shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Both a fixed and a moving laser beam can be used.
- the number of mirrors used in connection with the beam steering device 7 depends on how the laser beam 9 is to be deflected and on how the laser resonator 5 is aligned with respect to the syringe 11. It is therefore possible to arrange the laser resonator 5 in such a way that it quasi directly impinges the joining zone 41 with the laser beam. The scanner device 23 or the processing head 43 could then be introduced directly into the laser beam.
- the device 1 is used to apply laser radiation to the joining zone 41 in order to melt the material of the syringe body 13 so that it is this permanently connects to the cannula 15 during material solidification.
- a syringe body 13 made of glass is used for the syringes 11 mentioned here. Therefore, a C0 2 laser is used due to the given absorption properties.
- the laser beam generating device 3 is designed such that the energy of the laser beam can be controlled in time.
- the material of the syringe body 13 has to be melted locally to a limited extent, namely in the joining zone 41.
- the material in the area of the joining zone 41 is first slowly heated up with a relatively low output value. After this preheating phase, the actual connection process between the syringe body 13 and the cannula 15 takes place.
- the material of the syringe body 13 is melted in the area of the joining zone in such a way that it runs into the joint gap between the syringe body and the cannula and completely encloses the cannula.
- the power of the laser beam generating device 3 is preferably controlled so that the joining zone 41 is heated further for a certain period of time.
- the temperature during this reheating phase is significantly lower than during the connection process and preferably also lower than during the preheating phase.
- the devices 1 described here are designed in such a way that the laser power, the geometry of the laser beam and the focus size and position can be set during the method for manufacturing the syringe.
- the focusing unit 37 can be designed such that the geometry of the laser beam 9, that is to say the beam diameter and / or the shape of the laser point given in the joint zone 41, is also variable here ,
- the material heating and the melting volume can be influenced on the one hand by the power control within the laser beam generating device 3 but on the other hand by the laser beam being guided more or less quickly over the joint zone 41.
- the speed can be adapted to the given conditions by the rotational speed of the syringe 11 or with the aid of the scanner device 23 by the movement of the laser beam 9.
- the scanner device 23 can be designed such that, even when the syringe 11 is stationary, different areas of the joint zone 41 are exposed to the laser beam 9 in the desired time sequence.
- the device 1 and the method can be coordinated such that a desired temperature / time profile is set in the area of the joint zone 41. It is also possible to heat the syringe body 13 in adjacent areas in order to reduce material stress.
- the temperature given in the joining zone 41 can be detected and evaluated with the aid of a temperature detection unit in order to control the laser beam generating device 3 accordingly and to set the desired temperature or the desired temperature profile.
- Thermal cameras and / or pyrometers but also other temperature detection devices can be used as the temperature detection unit.
- the method takes place at least partially or entirely in a protective gas atmosphere.
- additional materials in particular glass solder, can also be introduced into the joining zone 41 during the manufacture of the syringe 11, on the one hand to close larger joining gaps and on the other hand to ensure a low-tension connection between the cannula 15 and the syringe body 13, which have very different expansion coefficients.
- the method described here enables contactless manufacture of the syringe without the need for an adhesive. If only glass and metal are present in the joining zone 41, it is readily possible to subject the finished syringe 11 to baked-on siliconization and to introduce it into a hot-air tunnel which also has temperatures in the region of 340 ° C. The connection between the syringe body 13 and the cannula 15 can take place very quickly with the appropriate energy of the laser beam 9.
- the simple structure of the devices 1 described in the figures also makes it possible to automate the manufacture of the syringe and to produce it efficiently in short cycle times.
- connection between syringe body 13 and cannula 15 is distinguished by the fact that it is very firm and thus ensures safe use of syringe 11. It is characterized by an unrestricted, constant aging resistance. Finally, the process shows an extremely low reject rate.
- the figure shows the temperature T given in the joining zone 41 over the time t. It can be seen that the joining zone 41 is first preheated. A preheating temperature is maintained over a certain period of time. Then, in a second period of time, by appropriately controlling the laser beam generating device 3, a higher temperature is set in the region of the joining zone 41 in order to ensure the actual connection between the syringe body 13 and the cannula 15. The joining zone 41 is then allowed to cool. It is then kept at a temperature below the melting temperature to relieve stress.
- the preheating phase can be significantly longer than the preheating and connection phase; the post-heating temperature can also be below the preheating temperature.
- the preheating temperature Tl is below the transformation temperature TG of the glass used in each case. It is preferably 50 to 100 K below TG.
- the temperature T2 required for melting and for the joining process is above the transformation temperature TG, preferably approximately 50 to 100 K above this temperature.
- the post-heating temperature T3 selected in the post-heating phase is approximately in a range from 150 to 300 K below the transformation temperature TG.
- the temperature T1 is maintained, for example, for a time range of approximately two to three seconds, the temperature T2 selected during the actual connection between the syringe body 13 and the cannula 15 is maintained for approximately one to two seconds, and the reheating temperature T3 for approximately three to five seconds , Thereafter, a more or less targeted cooling of the joining zone 41 can take place.
- the transformation temperature TG is, for example, about 565 ° C.
- the temperature in the region of the joining zone 41 is controlled, that is to say the level of the temperature and the duration of action of the temperature are adapted to the materials of the syringe and cannula.
- Figure 5 shows purely schematically a syringe 11 from the front, namely the joining zone 41.
- the syringe body 13 is shown and the inner ring is the cannula 15, the lumen of which is not shown here.
- the path of movement of a light point formed by the laser beam 9 in the region of the joining zone 41 is represented by an arrow 49. It can be seen that the light spot generated by the laser beam is guided along a circular path. This can be achieved by means of a fixed light spot with a rotating syringe 11 or with a stationary syringe 11 with the aid of a scanner device 23.
- FIG. 6 shows yet another embodiment of a device 1, which is used to manufacture a syringe 11 for medical purposes. Parts that have already been described with reference to the preceding figures are provided with the same reference numbers here, so that reference is made to the description above.
- the device 1 comprises a laser beam generating device 3 with a laser resonator 5, which emits a laser beam 9. This is directed via a beam steering device 7 onto the joining zone 41 between the cannula 15 and the syringe body 13 of the syringe 11. It is essential here that the syringe 11 is held by a receiving device 17, specifically stationary.
- the laser beam device 7 is also stationary. It has a fixed, concave mirror 8, which focuses the laser beam 9 on the joining zone 41. It has already been stated above that protective gas 11 can be used in the manufacture of the syringe.
- a chamber 51 is therefore provided, which is also possible in the exemplary embodiments described above, which is closed off by walls 53 arranged all around and by a base 55 and by a cover 57.
- the cover is provided with an optical window 59 which is transparent to the laser beam 9 and which enables the laser beam 9 to freely access the joining zone 41.
- the window is made of a special glass that does not have an absorbing effect, for example quartz glasses of various types, in particular those made of ZnESe, can be used.
- Shielding gas is introduced into the chamber 51 in a suitable manner.
- Two feed lines 61, 61 ' are provided here by way of example, which break through the walls 53 and via which, as indicated by arrows 63, 63', a protective gas is introduced.
- a protective gas is introduced.
- the receiving device 17 with a drive in order to set the syringe 11 in rotation.
- the construction is particularly simple if the syringe is arranged in a stationary manner, as described.
- the exemplary embodiment of a device 1 for producing a syringe 11 shown in FIG. 7 also has a laser beam generating device with a laser resonator 5, which directs a laser beam 9 onto a syringe 11 via a beam steering device 7.
- the laser beam is directed by means of a processing head 43 onto the joining zone 41 between the cannula 15 and the syringe body 13.
- the processing head like that explained with reference to FIG. 2, has a focusing unit 37 which comprises at least one lens.
- the machining head is also provided with feed lines 61, 61 ', via which a protective gas, as represented by arrows 63, 63', 65, 65 ', is passed to the joining zone 41.
- a protective gas as represented by arrows 63, 63', 65, 65 '
- the path of the laser beam is simplified compared to that explained with reference to FIG. 2. Only a single mirror 8 is required here in order to direct the laser beam 9 emerging from the laser beam generating device 3 via the processing head 43 onto the joining zone 41.
- the receiving device 17, which holds the syringe 11, is also preferably configured here such that the syringe is arranged in a stationary manner while the joining zone 41 is acted upon by the laser beam 9. In principle, however, it is also conceivable to provide a drive unit that rotates the syringe 11.
- an annular beam profile of the layer is preferably serstrahls 9 used.
- this can be generated by using a special laser beam generating device, for example by a laser type that works in the TEMoi.
- beam shaping elements for example diaphragms, can also be used. These are preferably cooled.
- a ring-shaped beam profile can be created by using the special laser type or by using diaphragms introduced into the beam path. In all cases, it is possible to cool the diaphragms, but also, if appropriate, mirrors or the like that are introduced into the beam path.
- FIG. 8 shows again part of a device 1 for producing a syringe 11, which is held by a holding device 17.
- An upside-down cone 67 the syringe of which lies in the region of the joining zone 41, indicates an annular distribution of the laser beam which serves to uniformly heat the joining zone 41 even when the syringe 11 is at a standstill.
