Definitions

  • connection assembly configured to deliver a liquid.
  • present disclosure relates to a connection assembly including a deformable sealing element for providing needle-free access to the container.
  • liquids can often be stored in containers such as flexible bags, ampules, or bottles before being supplied to a patient.
  • Connection assemblies, or connectors can be used to direct the liquid into the container or remove the liquid from the container.
  • Such connectors are used, for example, to create so-called needle-free access to a container that holds liquid in order to fill the container with liquid or remove liquid from the container via the access.
  • Such needle-free access provides entry to the container using a delivery device that has no injection needle.
  • a connecting piece for a delivery device in the form of a syringe for example, is incorporated into a slot opening of a sealing element in order to open the slot opening in this manner and allow flow between the delivery device and the container.
  • Connectors are also important in container sterilization. Even if the sealing element provided is already sterile, legal requirements can make it necessary to wipe or dab off the outside of the delivery device before attaching the delivery device to the attachment member. This should ensure access to a container, for example, under sterile conditions.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a connection assembly to guide a liquid which is reliably secured but which also allows a certain mobility of the sealing element.
  • the flow, in particular should not be significantly affected by this.
  • Another object of the present invention comprises a connection assembly in which the wiping or dabbing off of the sealing element for the purpose of disinfection is made possible.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a connection assembly allowing needle-free container access.
  • connection assembly for directing a liquid.
  • the connection assembly includes a connector through which a liquid is delivered and an attachment member attached to a connector which can be connected to a delivery device for delivering a liquid through the connector.
  • the attachment piece can have an opening that engages with the connector when the attachment member is attached to the connector.
  • the connection assembly also includes a sealing element for sealing the transition between the connector and the attachment member.
  • the sealing element can be inserted into the opening of the attachment member in an insertion direction in such a manner that the sealing element is held on the attachment member and is attached to the connector between the attachment member and the connector.
  • the interior of the sealing element can be free of any body having a point that is intended to support the opening of the sealing element.
  • the sealing element has a sealing head that seals off the opening of the attachment member from liquid passage when the attachment member is attached to the connector.
  • the sealing element also has a body adjoining the sealing head that can be spaced a radial distance from the attachment member when the sealing element is attached to the attachment member and the connector.
  • the sealing element can further have a shoulder at the transition between the sealing head and the body that projects radially with respect to the insertion direction through the sealing head and along the insertion direction. This shoulder can be brought into contact with a contact surface inside the opening of the attachment member.
  • the sealing element can have a flange that protrudes along the insertion direction and extends radially outward away from the body of the sealing element a distance greater than that of the shoulder.
  • the flange can be held or clamped between the attachment member and the connector when the attachment member is attached to the connector.
  • the sealing element is held between the attachment member and the connector when the attachment member is attached to the connector in such a manner that the flange of the sealing element rests with its lower side on a contact surface of the connector and its upper side at least partially exposed.
  • the sealing element has a foot section which, when viewed in an axial direction along an insertion direction, extends from the body below the flange and engages a recess defined by the connector. The sealing element is thus held between the attachment member and the connector in a clamping manner when the attachment member is attached to the connector so that a transition between the attachment member and the connector is sealed in a liquid-tight manner.
  • the shoulder of the sealing element surrounds an insertion assembly and protrudes radially towards the outside past the sealing head and - when the attachment member is attached to the connector - rests on an associated support surface of the attachment member.
  • the sealing element is thus supported by the shoulder axially along the insertion direction so that the sealing element is axially fixed relative to the attachment member.
  • the diameter of the sealing element in the area of the shoulder can be within a range of 4 mm to 10 mm, or 6 mm to 8 mm. Since the sealing element is supported on one side by the shoulder and on the other by its flange and the foot section, a defined, secured placement of the sealing element within the opening of the attachment member can be guaranteed.
  • the body of the sealing element can be cylindrically formed.
  • the sealing element as a whole can have a preferably rotationally symmetrical form, where different sections of the sealing element can have different diameters.
  • the body of the sealing element, which connects to the shoulder, can be arranged with radial play in the opening of the attachment member so that a space can be defined inside the opening of the attachment member between the sealing element and the attachment member. This space can allow the sealing element to be deformed if a delivery device is attached to the attachment member. Because a space is defined in which the sealing element can be pushed aside if a delivery device, such as a syringe with a connector, is connected to the sealing element, a slot opening defined through the sealing head of the sealing element can be reliably opened.
  • the flange that protrudes radially from the sealing element connects to the body of the sealing element.
  • the flange of the sealing element is fixed or held in a clamping manner between the attachment member and the connector.
  • the flange itself is not clamped.
  • This indirect clamped mounting of the flange is accomplished by the fact that the sealing element is supported by contact between the flange and/or foot section of the sealing element and the connector on a lower side and by contact between the shoulder of the sealing element and the attachment member on an upper side.
  • the flange thus can rest with only its lower side on a contact surface of the connector and its upper side partially or completely exposed.
  • the sealing element is thus fixed between the attachment member and the connector via the flange, where the flange can be located at the end of the body opposite the shoulder.
  • the diameter of the flange of the sealing element can be greater than the shoulder.
  • the diameter of the flange can be within a range of 5 mm to 11 mm, or 7 mm to 9 mm. Since the flange itself is not directly clamped, the sealing element thus retains a certain flexibility.
  • the sealing head can first be pushed down into the sealing element by the syringe connector of the syringe when the syringe is connected to the connector, thus causing the side wall of the sealing element to radially deflect.
  • the sealing element can then be opened when the connector presses the syringe into a slot opening that extends through the sealing head.
  • the radial compensation movement of the side wall can be supported by the movable arrangement of the flange.
  • this can be also supported by the thickness of the side wall.
  • the side wall above the shoulder can, in particular at least partially, have a thickness within a range of 0.6 mm to 1.5 mm, and more particularly from 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm.
  • the side wall in the shoulder region can have a thickness within a range of 1.5 mm to 2.2 mm, and more particularly from 1.7 mm to 2.0 mm.
  • the thickness of the side wall below the shoulder and above the flange is greater than the thickness of the side wall above the shoulder.
  • the side wall below the shoulder and above the flange can, at least partially, have a thickness within a range of 1.1 mm to 2.0 mm, and more particularly from 1.4 mm to 1.8 mm.
  • a radial outer section of the flange can initially be held in a clamping manner when the attachment member is attached to the connector.
  • the flange can be disposed between a contact surface of the connector and a projection of the attachment member that protrudes radially inwards into the opening of the attachment member.
  • the projection of the attachment member can be an annular projection.
  • the annular projection can extend fully or only partially over the periphery of the sealing element. The sealing element can thus be placed within the annular projection, for example completely inside the opening, where the annular projection of the body projects radially inward into the opening and can be held at a radial distance from the outer walls of the attachment member that surrounds the opening.
  • the annular projection can thus cause a partially clamped fixing of the sealing element between the attachment member and the connector.
  • the annular projection can support the centered placement of the sealing element inside the opening with a radial distance between the sealing element and the walls of the attachment member that surround the sealing element.
  • the connection between the connector and the attachment member can also be provided by the annular projection.
  • the sealing element can be formed with a convex outer side that faces away from the connector when the attachment member is attached to the connector.
  • the outer side of the sealing element can be substantially flat or curved concave ly inwards.
  • the outer side can in particular be in a state in which a delivery device can be connected to a portion of the attachment member projecting outward from the attachment member or flush with a surface of the attachment member so that, before attachment of the delivery device occurs, the outer side of the sealing element can be easily accessed from the outside and wiped or dabbed off in order to sterilize it.
  • the attachment member in this case can have a detachable part that is integrally associated with another section of the attachment member connected to the connector in an initial state. The detachable portion of the attachment member can be separated from this section, in particular broken off, to connect a delivery device to the attachment member.
  • the outer side of the sealing element When the detachable part is removed from the rest of the attachment member, the outer side of the sealing element can protrude upwards so that the outer side can be wiped or dabbed off from the outside.
  • the connection assembly, and in particular also the outer side of the sealing element can be provided in a sterile condition even in its initial state before breaking off the detachable part.
  • the outer side of the sealing element is formed on the sealing head of the sealing element. If, for example, a detachable part is removed from the attachment member, essentially only the outer side of the sealing element is exposed and projects, for example, outwardly in a convexly curved manner and can be wiped or dabbed off in a simple, reliable manner.
  • the upper or outer side of the sealing head can have a diameter within a range of 3 mm to 7 mm, or from 4 mm to 6 mm.
  • the sealing head can have a thickness within a range of 0.9 mm to 1.8 mm, and more particularly from 1.1 mm to 1.5 mm. This can support a reliable sealing and opening function.
  • the shoulder of the sealing element is preferably located on an end of the sealing head facing away from the outer side. In the case of the connector according to the invention, no hollow body having a point intended to support the opening of the membrane is provided. No body or hollow body having a point is provided that is arranged in the interior of the sealing element and intended to support the opening of the sealing head.
  • a preferably cylindrical section when viewed axially in the insertion direction joins to the sealing head and merges into the shoulder which projects radially outward over the cylindrical section.
  • This cylindrical section preferably has a larger diameter than that of the sealing head.
  • the cylindrically formed body can further join to the shoulder, again seen axially along the insertion direction, where the shoulder protrudes radially outward over the body.
  • the body can have a recess in its outer side at a transition to the flange, which can be provided by means of or as a step. In one embodiment, there is only a single step in the body of the sealing element.
  • the recess can have an essentially flat bottom.
  • the recess can, for example, have a quadrangular cross section.
  • the base and the radial opening of the recess can have essentially the same dimensions.
  • a foot section of the sealing element which protrudes from the flange in the insertion direction when viewed axially along the insertion direction, can extend from the flange and engage an associated recess defined by the connector when the attachment member is attached to the connector.
  • An advantageous connection between the sealing element and the connector is thus created at a defined position of the sealing element within the opening of the attachment member.
  • the sealing element can thus be supported by its shoulder on one side of the body and by its flange and/or foot section on the other side.
  • the sealing element can have a total height within a range of 6 mm to 15 mm, or within a range of 9 mm to 12 mm.
  • the foot section can have a height within a range of 0.7 mm to 1.6 mm, and more particularly within a range of 1.0 mm to 1.3 mm.
  • the foot section can have a decreasing wall thickness in direction to the lower end of the sealing element.
  • the wall thickness of the foot section can decrease from a range of 1.1 mm to 1.5 mm to a range of 0.6 mm to 1.0 mm. This can support safe positioning within the connector and/or the movable arrangement of the flange.
  • the sealing element can have a slot opening defined by the sealing head which, when the attachment member is attached to the connector, can be closed off from liquid passage therethrough.
  • the slot opening can be opened in such a way that a liquid can be conveyed through the slot opening.
  • needle-free access is created through the sealing element, by means of which, for example, a container connected to the connector can be accessed when using a delivery device which has no hypodermic needle.
  • the delivery device can, for example, be fitted with a connector configured to engage the sealing element for the purpose or providing needle-free access through the sealing element.
  • the connector through the application of pressure on the sealing element, can shift the upper side of the sealing element down and be pressed into the slot opening, which opens the sealing element to create a flow path for liquid.
  • the delivery device then extends itself when it is fully attached - for example, screwed on tight, preferably to the connector through the slot opening of the sealing element - so that there can be an unhindered flow between the delivery device and the container through the sealing element.
  • at least 80%, or at least 90%, of the opening cross section in the delivery device through which the liquid is transported is exposed and is thus not covered by the sealing element.
  • the whole cross section of the opening in the delivery device through which the liquid is transported can be exposed.
  • the attachment member can be formed in a single piece as a plastic molded part.
  • the attachment member is injection-molded, though other manufacturing methods are contemplated.
