Needle protecting device

A stopper for sealing containers for pharmaceutical liquids, especially infusion bottles, which stopper has a collar, which projects into the neck of the container; an edge, which rests on the neck of the container; and a puncture area, enclosed by the edge and the collar, the stopper being held on the neck of the container by a protective cap of metal or plastic, characterized in that the puncture area (,) is designed to have such elasticity and flexibility with respect to the edge (,) and the collar (,) that, after the stopper has been inserted into the neck (,) of the container, the puncture area bulges slightly outward; and in that, after the puncture needle (,) of an infusion kit (,) has been inserted into the stopper, the puncture area bulges down into the neck (,) of the container.

Stopper for sealing infusion bottles

A closure for a transportable container used in the transfer of materials to or from an enclosed process area is described. The container docks with a port in a wall of the process area forming a sealed connecting chamber which is sterilized by irradiation. Communication between the interiors of the container and the process area is then established. The closure has a collar and a lid, which portions are formed so that all the surfaces which form part of the connecting chamber in use are in the direct line of the sterilizing radiation, which is normally ultra-violet or pulsed white light radiation. No relevant surface is shadowed from the radiation. The lid may be formed integrally with the collar with a thin web separating the two to define a fracture line. The lid is provided with a grip which can be grasped from within the process area. Application of a pulling force to the grip causes the lid to be pealed away from the collar without the generation of particulates.
