Description

VIAL ADAPTER WITH SYRINGE STABILIZER
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to vial adapters.
Background of the Invention
Vial adapters are commonly employed with a needleless syringe and a vial for liquid drug reconstitution and administration purposes. Needleless syringes include a syringe barrel terminating at a male connector and a plunger for reciprocal movement within the syringe barrel. Syringes pre-filled with diluent for liquid drug reconstitution purposes are typically formed from glass. Glass syringes are therefore fragile and their male connectors are particularly prone to be inadvertently snapped off. Some syringes have a so-called locking collar encircling a male connector for screw thread engagement on a threaded female connector. Vial adapters include a vial adapter body with a downward depending skirt for telescopically snap fitting onto a vial, a downward depending hollow cannula for insertion into a vial's interior, and a female connector in flow communication with the cannula for sealingly receiving a syringe's male connector. The male and female connectors are conic shaped for assisting insertion of a male connector into a female connector until the former stops in the latter in a coaxial sealed arrangement. The male and female connectors can be Luer connectors.
A user typically snap fits a vial adapter onto a vial before attaching a syringe for liquid drug reconstitution and administration purposes. The user holds the assemblage of a vial adapter and a vial in one hand and a syringe in his other hand and aligns the syringe with the longitudinal vial adapter axis prior to insertion of the syringe's male connector into the vial adapter's female connector. The user maintains his hold on the assemblage and continues to insert the syringe's male connector into the vial adapter's female connector in a generally co-axial forward movement until the syringe stops in the vial adapter in their intended coaxial sealed engagement. During the generally coaxial forward movement, a user may inadvertently apply a force on the syringe barrel in a transverse direction to the longitudinal vial adapter axis which may be sufficient to snap off the male connector at its base from the distal barrel end. Such snapping off leaves exposed jagged rims at the distal barrel end and also at the male connector inserted in the female connector which pose immediate risks to the user and also during subsequent disposal. Additionally, in the case of syringes without a locking collar, a user may inadvertently apply such a force during the aforesaid coaxial sealed arrangement with the same undesired result.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention is directed towards vial adapters for use with a needleless syringe having a syringe barrel with a distal barrel end and a male connector, and a vial. The vial adapters include a vial adapter body having a female connector for sealing engagement with a syringe's male connector on sliding insertion therein. The vial adapters include a syringe stabilizer integrally formed on a vial adapter body and having a support ring for snugly receiving a distal barrel end on the sliding insertion of a male connector into the female connector for sealing engagement such that the syringe stabilizer precludes inadvertent snapping off of the male connector from the distal barrel end on application of a force on the syringe barrel in a transverse direction to the longitudinal vial adapter axis. Both non-vented and vented vial adapters can be equally integrally formed with a syringe stabilizer in accordance with the present invention.

Detailed Description of Preferred Embodiment of the Invention
Figure 1 shows a syringe 10 constituting a source of physiological fluid, a vial 20 constituting a medicinal vessel and a conventional vial adapter 30 for use with the syringe 10 and the vial 20. The syringe 10 includes a syringe barrel 11 having a distal barrel end 11 A, a plunger 12 and a male connector 13. The distal barrel end 11A has an external diameter Dl. The vial 20 has a longitudinal vial axis 20A and includes a vial body 21 with a vial rim 22 and a narrow diameter neck 23 intermediate the vial body 21 and the vial rim 22 (see Figure 2B). The vial rim 22 defines a vial opening 24 hermetically sealed by an elastic vial stopper 26, and capped by a metal band 27. The vial body 21 defines a vial interior 28 containing either a powdered or liquid drug contents 29. The syringe 10 typically contains diluents for reconstituting the vial contents 29. Figures 1 and 2A show the vial adapter 30 has a vial adapter body 31 having a longitudinal vial adapter axis 31A and including a top wall 32, a downward depending flared skirt 33 with a multitude of flex members 34 for snap fitting onto the vial 20, a pointed tubular cannula 36 with a cannula tip 37 for puncturing the vial stopper 26, and a flow communication lumen 38 in flow communication with the cannula 36. The flow communication lumen 38 terminates in a female connector 39 for sealing engagement with the syringe's male connector 13 on sliding insertion therein. The flex members 34 have a first portion 34A proximate the top wall 32 including an inwardly directed protuberance 41 for snap fitting under the vial rim 22 and a second portion 34B distal the top wall 32. The second portions 34B subtend an exterior obtuse angle relative to their first portions 34A. The female connector 39 is preferably formed with an external thread 42 for use with a syringe 10 with a locking collar having an internal thread for screw thread engagement thereon.
Figure 3 shows an assemblage 50 of the syringe 10, the vial 20 and the vial adapter 30 after the vial adapter 30 has been snap fitted onto the vial 20 for flow communication with its vial interior 28 and the syringe's male connector 13 has been slidingly inserted into the vial adapter's female connector 39 for sealed engagement therewith. Figure 3 shows application of a force F against the syringe barrel 11 in a transverse direction to the longitudinal vial adapter axis 31 A leads to the snapping off of the male connector 13 from the distal barrel end 11 A. Figure 4 shows the syringe 10 having a leading jagged rim 14 at the base of its male connector 13 connected to the distal barrel end 11 A. Figure 4 also shows the male connector 13 remaining in the female connector 39 also has an exposed jagged rim 16. The jagged rims 14 and 16 pose an immediate risk to the user and also during subsequent disposal.
Figures 5 and 6 show a vial adapter 60 having a similar construction as the vial adapter 30 and therefore similar parts are likewise numbered and also suitable for use with syringes with or without a locking collar. The vial adapter 60 differs from the vial adapter 30 insofar the former includes an integrally formed syringe stabilizer 61 having a support ring 62 supported by a pair of opposite support struts 63 mounted on the top wall 32. The support ring 62 has an internal diameter D2 which is slightly larger than the distal barrel end llA's external diameter Dl. The support ring 62 is disposed distal to the female connector 39 relative to the top wall 32 for snugly receiving a distal barrel end 11A on sliding insertion of a male connector 13 into its female connector 39 for sealed engagement therewith. Thus, the support ring 62, on the one hand, enables sliding insertion of a distal barrel end 11A therethrough, and, on the other hand, acts as a support against an inadvertent application of the force F in a transverse direction to the longitudinal vial adapter axis 31 A.
Figures 7 and 8 show an assemblage 70 including the vial adapter 60 for precluding an inadvertent application of the force F in a transverse direction to the longitudinal vial adapter axis 31A snapping off of the male connector 13.
While the invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, it will be appreciated that many variations, modifications, and other applications of the invention can be made within the scope of the appended claims.
