NOVEL DEVICE

摘要

A process for filling a syringe in which a longitudinal tubular syringe barrel (11) has a first end (11A) closed by a movable plunger and a connection suitable for an injection needle at its second end (11B), this second end of the bore being closed by a penetrable closure (14), and the syringe is filled by passing a filling needle (31) through the penetrable closure and filling the barrel with a liquid via the needle, then withdrawing the filling needle from the closure. Suitably a penetrator (17) is attached to the second end of the barrel to penetrate and provide communication through the closure.
