Abstract:
A waterproof pill container especially adapted to hold pills and the like is disclosed. In addition to a container base having an open top adapted to be closed by a cover, closure means are provided for continually urging the cover into watertight sealing engagement with the peripheral edge that forms the open top of the container base. Such closure means includes a post attached to and downwardly dependent from the inner portions of the cover and to which a laterally extending crossbar is rotatably engaged. Also the container base is provided with a pair of inwardly extending flanges under which the ends of the crossbar are adapted to engage, thereby establishing anchor points against which the cover may be tightly drawn into sealing engagement with the container base to assure a watertight fit between the two members.
Abstract:
A fluoroelastomer is produced by copolymerizing propylene, tetrafluoroethylene and glycidyl vinyl ether in the presence of a polymerization initiator.
Abstract:
A method of warming a vial containing a sterile corticotropin composition from a temperature of 2° to 8° C. to a temperature of 18° to 26° C., withdrawing the sterile corticotropin composition from the vial with a first needle having a first gauge size with a first diameter, replacing the first needle with a second needle having a second gauge size with a second diameter that is different from the first diameter, and injecting 80 (United States Pharmacopeia) USP units of the sterile corticotropin composition into a human subject.
Abstract:
A container closure includes an inner core having a non-cylindrical profile created by a variable longitudinal cross-sectional area. One or more outer layers concentrically surround the core and have a cross-sectional area inversely correlated to the inner core so that the overall container closure has an essentially cylindrical profile.
Abstract:
An elastomeric member for use with a container and in contact with pharmaceutically pure contents therein. The elastomeric member has an elastomeric base and a continuous polyparaxylylene coating on the base. The coating ranges from about 0.5 microns to about 2.0 microns in thickness. The closure member has a coefficient of friction of less than 1.0 and is capable of substantially preventing metal extraction from said elastomers.
Abstract:
A sealing stopper or piston for a syringe and a prefilled syringe using the same, provided with a backstop function, can be provided without increasing the production cost, which comprises a skirt part capable of serving as a backstop device.
Abstract:
To eliminate contamination of foreign matters deposited on the surface for a rubber stopper for tight sealing for medical purpose as for tight sealing of a medical injection liquid bottle, a vulcanized film of propylene-tetrafluoroethylene-glycidyl vinyl ether copolymer rubber is coated partially or wholly onto the surface of the rubber stopper. Vulcanization of the copolymer rubber can be carried out only by heating in the absence of a vulcanizing agent, and a vulcanized film with a good adhesiveness to the rubber stopper and a good sliding characteristic can be formed thereon.
Abstract:
Tube having flexible walls and a neck separated from the remainder of the tube by a transverse wall having an opening therein closed by a plug adapted to be expelled from the orifice when the tube is squeezed. The plug is cup-shaped and made of a rubbery material so as to increase the permissible manufacturing tolerances.
