Packageless syringe assembly with sterilizable fluid path

摘要

Syringe assemblies comprising a first cap and a second cap connected to the respective proximal end and the distal end of a syringe barrel to ensure sterilization of a fluid path inside a syringe barrel without the need for external packaging are described. The first cap and the second cap are radiation and gas permeable. Also described are methods of sterilizing the fluid path of such a syringe assembly.
