An apparatus for combining under sterile conditions a liquid component held in a first container and a solid or liquid component held in a second container is provided. In one embodiment, two hollow bodies for receiving the two containers are provided, the two hollow bodies being arranged one within the other and being slidable relative to one another in a guided manner in the longitudinal direction. A cannula holder forms a pot-shaped structural unit with the first hollow body. Alternatively, the cannula holder is provided with at least one cannula. The cannula holder and the first hollow body may be separate components, in which the cannula holder is pot-shaped.

Apparatus for combining components under sterile conditions

An apparatus for combining liquid or solid components stored in containers includes a cylindrical hollow body for receiving end closures of the containers and at least one cannula for penetrating the end closures. The cannula is mounted in a cannula holder movable in the hollow body, and retainer bridges connect the cannula holder to an inner wall surface of the hollow body. The retainer bridges fracture after the cannula penetrates the end closure in the first container so that the cannula moves toward the second container to penetrate the closure in the second container. Also disclosed is a system including the apparatus, two containers, and outer packaging enclosing the containers and the hollow body.
