Abstract
A prefilled syringe for one or two component medicaments is based upon the use of a vial containing a medicament or one component of a medicament, the vial having an open bottom closed by a piston. When the piston is coupled with a plunger, and an adapter cap having an internal needle and an external connection for a needle is placed over a cap of the vial, the latter is converted into a prefilled syringe. The piston has an axial passage closed by a resealable septum, so that a separate diluent stored in a flexible capsule may be introduced into the vial through the piston by a double ended needle mounted on a further cap applied to the capsule, the further cap being coupled within the tubular interior of the plunger so that the double ended needle penetrates the septum in the piston. The capsule is pushed forward onto the double ended needle when its contents are to be expelled into the vial. The capsule and its cap are then removed and discarded.
