Syringe plunger rods comprising an elongate body formed from a composition comprising one or more of virgin material, a sterilization-stable recycled resin and a biobased compositions are described. Plunger rods comprising a plurality of ribs, some of which may have a plurality of openings, are also described. The plunger rods requiring less material while maintaining sufficient structural integrity to function properly.

Recycled resin compositions and disposable medical devices made therefrom

A container and method for storing a pharmaceutical agent are provided for enhancing the storage time. The storage time of the pharmaceutical agent is improved by reducing the loss of stabilizing agents in the pharmaceutical agent. The storage container is formed from a polyolefin that includes a stabilizing agent in an amount effective to reduce or inhibit the migration of stabilizing agents in the pharmaceutical agent. The polyolefin container is formed with a fatty acid amide such as erucamide for stabilizing insulin that contains m-cresol and/or phenol as stabilizing agents for the insulin. The fatty acid amide incorporated in the container inhibits and/or reduces the rate of migration of the m-cresol and/or phenol into the polyolefin to extend the storage life of the insulin. The container can be a syringe, such as a pre-filled syringe, a storage vial or the flow path of an infusion pump.

A vascular access device may form part of an extravascular system and function as an adapter including a gas permeable vent. A method of venting a medical device may include providing a vascular access device as part of an extravascular system, providing a gas permeable vent within the vascular access device, venting gas from the system through the vent, and closing the vent.

Extravascular system venting

Syringe plunger rod

A vascular access device may include a body, housing, neck, and a septum with a substantially non-gaseous cross section. A method of operating a septum of a vascular access device may include providing a vascular access device in an external environment and actuating the septum without transferring a substantial amount of gas from within the device to the external environment of the device.

Vascular access device chamber replacement

An extravascular system may include a fluid path and a gas vent in communication with the fluid path. A method of venting a medical device may include providing a closed extravascular system having a fluid path, providing a gas vent in communication with the fluid path, venting gas from the extravascular system through the gas vent, and maintaining closure of the extravascular system during and after venting.

Extravascular system in-line venting

A medical device may include an extravascular system, a vascular access device attached to the system, and at least one access port attached to the device capable of displacing stagnant fluid within the extravascular system. A method for eliminating stagnant fluid within an extravascular system may include providing an extravascular system, providing a vascular access device having an access port, attaching the device to the system via the access port, accessing the access port with a separate vascular access device, and displacing stagnant fluid within the extravascular system.
