Mixing/administration syringe devices, protective packaging and methods of protecting syringe handlers

摘要

Medicant mixing/administration systems are provided that can include: a medicant vial; a syringe assembly comprising a barrel and a piston; a protective material supporting the syringe assembly and medicant vial; and a member within the system, the member separating the piston of the syringe assembly from the medicant vial. Systems are provided that can include: a syringe assembly comprising a barrel and a piston; having a forward end and an opposing back end; a protective material supporting the syringe assembly; and a needle housing coupled to the protective material. Medicant mixing/administration methods are also provided that can include, within a package, sufficiently clearing a restraining member from between a medicant vial and syringe plunger to pierce the medicant vial with a piercing structure coupled to the syringe plunger, the piercing providing medicant from the vial to the syringe assembly. Additional methods can include, upon opening a package containing a syringe assembly, extending a needle housing from the package.

主权项

1. A medicant mixing/administration system comprising:
a syringe assembly comprising a syringe barrel and a syringe piston, wherein the piston defines a housing configured to receive a medicant vial; a medicant vial extending partially into the housing to define a space between the medicant vial and the piston; a protective material supporting the syringe assembly and medicant vial; a member defined by the protective material, the member extending into the housing and between the piston and medicant vial, separating the piston of the syringe assembly from the medicant vial when the assembly and vial are supported by the protective material; and a recess defined by the protective material, the recess configured to receive and support an uncoupled cap.
