    摘要: Methods and associated structures for translating a syringe stopper though a lubricant free tube, such as an insertion tube, syringe barrel or cartridge tube, during the assembly and/or use of the syringe or auto-injector. The stopper in a non-compressed state includes a proximal end, a plunger rod engaging cavity, and a sealing region having a length spaced from the proximal end by a sealing location length. The sealing region includes at least one rib having at least one microgroove within a polymer barrier, the at least one microgroove having an initial width. By the disclosed methods and structures, a translation force biased towards the outer diameter of the stopper is applied to the stopper using force concentrators. The translation force with force concentrators is sufficient to translate the stopper though the tube in a compressed state with a reduction of increase in the initial width of the at least one microgroove when compared to not using force concentrators.

    摘要: A pharmaceutical container for drug delivery includes a barrel configured to slidably receive a stopper, the stopper having a proximal end suitable for contacting a plunger rod and a distal end suitable for contacting a pharmaceutical composition, the stopper having a circumferential surface partially contacting an inner surface of the barrel, a surface roughness of the inner surface of the barrel declines from the stopper's start position to its end position by at least 3% of at least one of Ra roughness or Rms roughness, the inner surface of the barrel having a surface roughness Ra of less than 100 nm.
