Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to a medical device with a lubricant coating, for example a syringe, comprising two parts, for example a container and a piston, said parts being able to move one relative to the other, for example translationally and/or rotationally, when the medical device is operated.
  • a medical device with a lubricant coating for example a syringe
  • two parts for example a container and a piston, said parts being able to move one relative to the other, for example translationally and/or rotationally, when the medical device is operated.
  • the container is intended to accommodate a medical product in the liquid, gaseous, fluid, pasty or lyophilized phase, which may have a variable viscosity and is therefore able to flow, particularly because of the pressure exerted as a result of the movement of the piston relative to the container.
  • the piston is preferably made at least partially from a viscoelastic material so as to ensure tightness in the region of contact between the container and the piston.
  • the volume of the medical product contained in the medical device varies, for example decreases, according to the relative movement between the two parts of the medical device.
  • the present invention also relates to a part for a medical device, this part being intended to cooperate with a complementary part by moving relative to said complementary part when the medical device is operated, said part being provided with a coating.
  • the polymer material is chosen from the group consisting of poly(p-xylylene) polymers, which may or may not be substituted, and in particular, poly(p-xylylene), poly(p-meta-chloroxylylene), poly(p-ortho- chloro/meta-chloroxylylene) and poly(p-difluoroxylylene).
  • the latter four polymer materials are manufactured and sold by UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION, or by SPECIALTY COATING SYSTEMS, under the names Parylene N, Parylene C, Parylene D and Parylene AF 4 , respectively.
  • a polymer material of the poly(p-xylylene) type is not employed by injection, dissolving or suspending in a solvent, but is used by depositing it onto the part by a direct dry vacuum deposition process using the following protocol:
  • the dimer is vaporized under vacuum (1 mm of mercury for example) and at approximately 15O 0 C for example,
  • the vaporized dimer is then pyrolized, still under vacuum but at a higher temperature, for example at 65O 0 C, in order to obtain the reactive monomer form corresponding to the aforementioned dimer and to the aforementioned chemical unit, and
  • the reactive monomer is deposited directly on the entire accessible developed surface of the part, both internal and external, and polymerized at ambient temperature under a low vacuum, in a method akin to the vacuum deposition of a thin metal layer, so as to obtain a continuous coating of (substituted or unsubstituted) poly(p-xylylene) of relatively uniform thickness, completely (with no discontinuity) covering the part of the medical device.
  • the coating thus obtained adheres to the part directly or indirectly. Because of its slip characteristics, the coating facilitates the relative movement between the two parts of the medical device. In addition, the elastic behaviour of the coating allows it in a resilient manner to accommodate the deformations and stresses imposed on the part provided with it, for example the piston, as it slides in the container. Thus, tightness in the region of contact between the piston and the container can be guaranteed to be maintained.
  • Adhesion between the coating and the part may be direct, particularly by means of chemical bonds formed at the time of deposition and polymerization of the reactive monomer, between said part and the polymer material, or indirect, by way of a tie layer or primer layer applied beforehand to the surface that is to be coated, if appropriate after that surface has been cleaned or prepared.
  • the polymer material coating of the poly(p-xylylene) type has a thickness ranging from 0.25 ⁇ m to 1 ⁇ m, it being possible for a coating thickness of 0.10 to 76 ⁇ m to be obtained in a single stage.
  • this thickness range seems inappropriate for most medical devices, particularly of the syringe type. This is because with this range of thicknesses, when the two parts of the medical device move relative to one another, the coating breaks, tears or breaks up.
  • Document US 5,000,994 devotes itself to medical devices, of the syringe type, comprising a part of the piston type consisting of a viscoelastic or elastomeric material and at least one contact region of which provides tightness with the container of the medical device, in this instance the syringe body. More specifically, that document is concerned with the automatic fitting of pistons into syringe bodies and with the circulation or transportation for that purpose of loose pistons, in contact with one another, in gravity-fed feeders, for example those with a vibrating bowl.
  • Such a thickness is undoubtedly suitable for reducing the coefficient of friction between pistons, outside the medical devices that incorporate them, in industrial processes where they are handled loose.
  • a coating as thin as this is unable to withstand the friction forces involved in the relative movement between two parts of a medical device, and is unable to generate a durable and mechanically strong seal therebetween, particularly once the medical device has been sterilized.
  • the thicknesses considered for the coating of a first part movable relative to a second part seem far too low.
  • a plastic or metal container is provided with a polyparaxylylene coating 0.25 to 25 ⁇ m thick-so-as to redticeHts- coefficient of friction. It is clearly evident from the foregoing explanations that a coating of the order of 0.25 ⁇ m thick is unsuitable for the application of the invention. Furthermore, a 25 ⁇ m coating would be too thick, making it more rigid and adversely affecting its elastic behaviour. The result would be an adverse effect on the desired function of tightness in the region of contact between the two moving parts. Furthermore, nothing in document US 5,354,286 is able to demonstrate that a narrower and better targeted range of values would provide an answer to the problems that the invention proposes to solve.
  • the viscoelastic material of which the piston of a medical device such as syringe may be made is generally an elastomeric material which alters, in particular degrades chemically over time. This possible degradation is sometimes initiated by the processes used to sterilize the medical devices containing them, for example bringing them into contact with ionizing radiation. Such degradation alters the surface properties of the elastomeric material, for example the adhesion or friction with respect to one of the other parts of the medical device.
  • the mean thickness of the coating needs to range from 3 to 10 ⁇ m, preferably from 3 to 5 ⁇ m.
  • Such a thickness also has the advantage of ensuring that, regardless of the profile, shape or surface characteristics of the coated part, at the end of the process of depositing/polymerizing the polymer material, the coating covers the entirety of the part over the desired region, namely at least the region corresponding to the contact region, with no discontinuity, and does so durably.
  • a first aspect of the present invention is a medical device comprising at least a first part and a second part, said first and second parts being able to move one relative to the other and determining between them at least one contact region, at least one of said first and second parts being provided with at least one coating designed to at least encourage the relative sliding of said first and second parts one relative to the other and tightness in said contact region, and said coating consisting of at least one polymer material comprising polymer chains having the following repeat unit:

  • Y 1 , Y 2 , Y 3 , Y 4 each independently represent a halogen, for example Cl, or a hydrogen, characterized in that the mean thickness of said coating ranges from 3 to 10 ⁇ m.
  • the medical device of the invention allows to have decreased activation, sustainable and final forces for moving a first part relative to a second part, for example for moving a piston within the container in which it is lodged, without having to add a lubricant and while preserving the tightness at the contact region between said two parts.
  • the piston in a medical device such as a syringe, the piston must be able to be moved relative to the container or syringe body, through a gliding movement, while at the same time ensuring the tightness with said container, so that all of the product to be administered escapes only via the distal end of the container and does not leak out of said container via the piston at the proximal end of the container.
