Adaptor for coupling to a medical container
First Claim
1. A package for an aseptic application of an adaptor to a collar of a medical container, the adaptor comprising a tubular body and a pierceable elastomeric piece positioned within the tubular body, the tubular body having a distal end including a transversal wall, the transversal wall including a central hole and a skirt extending in a distal direction therefrom creating a distal open end, the package comprising:
- a blister pack for surrounding the adaptor, the blister pack comprising a shell substantially surrounding the adaptor except for the distal open end of the skirt; and
a film covering the distal open end of the skirt, wherein upon removal of the film, the distal open end of the skirt is secured to the collar with the shell remaining in place until the pierceable elastomeric piece is moved within the tubular body between a first positon, in which a distal part of the pierceable elastomeric piece forms a seal with the central hole, and a second position, in which the distal part is displaced from the central hole.

Abstract
An adaptor for coupling with a medical container, including: a tubular body receiving a pierceable elastomeric piece, defining an inner cavity of the adaptor, the pierceable elastomeric piece being movable within the tubular body between a first position, in which a distal part of the pierceable elastomeric piece forms a seal of the cavity, and a second position, proximally spaced from the first position, in which the distal part opens the seal of the cavity, an air inlet, a filtering system for filling the inner cavity with decontaminated air, and a gripping member for securing the adaptor to the medical container. Also, an assembly comprising such an adaptor and a medical container.

6. A method for an aseptic coupling of an adaptor to a collar of a medical container, the adaptor comprising a tubular body and a pierceable elastomeric piece positioned within the tubular body, the tubular body having a distal end including a transversal wall, the transversal wall including a central hole and a skirt extending in a distal direction therefrom creating a distal open end, the method comprising:
-
enclosing the adaptor in a blister pack, the blister pack comprising a shell substantially surrounding the adaptor except for the distal open end of the skirt and a film covering the distal open end of the skirt; removing the film to expose the distal open end of the skirt; and securing the distal open end of the skirt to the collar with the shell remaining in place until the pierceable elastomeric piece is moved within the tubular body between a first position, in which a distal part of the pierceable elastomeric piece forms a seal with the central hole, and a second position, in which the distal part is displaced from the central hole. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
