Sterile container

摘要

A container providing prolonged sterility of its content consists of a cylindrical body (10) with an open end an annular recess (15) near the open end and a closure cap (11) with an annular rib (14). Recess (15) and rib (14) are arranged to mate with each other when the cap is plugged onto the container providing a hermetic seal. Also disclosed is an assembly for cannulae with a short cannula (21) telescopically arranged inside a long cannula (20). The short cannula disposes a spike for transferring a medical formulation from a package to either the long or the short cannula. A hub portion of the short cannula has an annular projection (30) interacting with an annular recess (25) on the inner surface of the proximal portion of the long cannula providing a hermetic seal. A kit is proposed consisting of the container and the cannula assembly.
