An adaptor includes a tubular body having a proximal region and a distal region, the proximal region configured to engage a distal tip of a drug delivery device and the distal region being configured to be connected to a connector. The distal region has a distal end delimiting a distal opening so as to permit introduction of the connector inside the distal region. The distal end is configured to be clamped to the connector when the connector is introduced inside the tubular body. The distal end comprises a deformable element having a free end, which is configured to deform towards the proximal region when the connector is introduced inside the tubular body.

Adaptor for connecting a drug delivery device to a connector

An adaptor for connecting a drug delivery device to a connector provided with an external thread is disclosed. The adaptor includes a globally tubular body having a proximal region and a distal region, the proximal region being provided with an engagement element for mounting the adaptor on the drug delivery device. The distal region is provided on an inner wall of the distal region with an internal thread intended to cooperate with the external thread so as to connect the connector to the adaptor, the internal thread defining an internal thread crest. The internal thread crest is provided with at least one deformable radial end part configured so as to be radially deformed when the connector is screwed into the adaptor. Also disclosed is a drug delivery device including the adaptor and a method for connecting the connector to the adaptor.

Adaptor for connecting a connector to a drug delivery device

The present invention relates to adaptor () for a drug delivery device having a reservoir () and a longitudinal tip (), the adaptor () comprising a distal part defining a connecting ring () intended to receive a connector, and a proximal part defining a mounting ring () having an inner surface (), the mounting ring () being shaped and configured such that, when the adaptor () is mounted around the longitudinal tip () of the drug delivery device, at least one annular space () is created between said inner surface () of the mounting ring () and said outer surface () of the longitudinal tip (), said at least one annular space () being able to accommodate an adhesive layer () in order to bond said adaptor () to said longitudinal tip. The invention further relates to a drug delivery device comprising such an adaptor.
