Definitions
- the invention relates to a cap, in particular a removal cap for a container for receiving an enteral nutrition solution.
- an artificial diet often needs to be performed to meet their daily calorie needs.
- nutritional solutions are administered which are nutritionally balanced, i. which contains all the important nutrients (for example, carbohydrates, fats, proteins,
- the artificial diet thus replaces some natural nutritional steps of the body and is subdivided into two types depending on the mode of administration: the parenteral nutrition, which is made by infusing the nutrients directly into the bloodstream, and enteral nutrition, which goes directly through the gastrointestinal tract. Tract takes place. If possible, it is particularly preferable to perform a long-term artificial diet by enteral nutrition, since the enteral nutrition is closer to the physiological diet.
- the parenteral nutrition infusion is liquid and is administered intravenously, usually through a venous catheter directly to a vein.
- the nutrients, however, which are introduced into the body through enteral nutrition often have an increased viscosity. This often impedes the escape of food from a container and may also lead to sedimentation of the nutritional solution into the container.
- Containers for receiving an enteral nutritional solution are, for example, by standard any type and shape of vessels and / or bags and / or bottles, which are suitable for receiving an enteral nutritional solution.
- such containers have at least one Removal opening on, you rch what the contents of the container can escape.
- the dimensions and / or the characteristics of the removal opening are determined, inter alia, by the DIN 18250-3 standard, possibly in conjunction with DIN 80369-3.
- the containers for receiving an enteral nutritional solution must be sterilized before the nutritional solution is filled in, as during the filling of the nutritional solution it must not be contaminated.
- the nutritional solution must continue to be kept sterile after filling, which is ensured by airtight and liquid-tight covering of the removal opening.
- the cover is a seal, in particular a sealing foil, and / or a sterilization foil.
- the cover should prevent the escape of food solution or prevent contamination.
- a protective element e.g, a lid, or a cap or the like
- a protective element may be placed on the container's dispensing opening and connected to the container to increase the integrity of the cover and thus sterilization to get the nutritional solution.
- the container In order to administer the nutritional solution, the container is usually filled with e.g. a drip chamber connected so that a flow of nutritional solution is made possible.
- the drip chamber serves to regulate the droplet formation of the administered nutritional solution and prevents the formation of air bubbles.
- Drip chamber takes place through a hollow removal mandrel, which came to the fluid supply from the container to r drip mer serves.
- the mandrel pierced and thus allows the escape of the nutritional solution.
- the cover is pierced by a pointed end of the removal mandrel, which simplifies the tearing of the cover.
- the present invention relates to a sampling cap, in particular for a container for receiving an enteral nutritional solution.
- a container has a removal opening which is sealed liquid-tight with a cover and, in the region of the removal opening, has an attachment for the arrangement of the removal cap.
- the approach is an area of the container, in particular an area of the container
- Container neck and / or the limit of the removal opening
- the sampling cap is north with an open end over the discharge opening of the container a bar and has at least one receiving opening for a removal mandrel on the side facing away from the open end of the removal cap.
- the side of the removal cap facing away from the open front end is referred to as the "opposite side”.
- the removal cap has at least one sealing body, which in the region of the open front end of the removal cap, i. angeord net is in the open lumen of the sampling cap.
- the sealing body is substantially hollow circular and can thus a
- the sealing body is a seal.
- the sealing body ensures a liquid-tight connection between the extraction cap and the container.
- the removal cap Take-off cap in the region of the discharge opening of the container angeord net u nd in contact with the approach of the container.
- the removal cap is connected to the neck with and / or attached.
- the sealing body between the opposite side of the removal cap and the cover of the container is arranged.
- the sealing body is in u nffenbarer proximity to this side of the
- Extraction cap and to cover the cover angeord net In the assembled state of the removal cap with
- the container In the assembled state of the removal cap with
- the container may be at least partially in contact with the opposite side of the extraction cap and with the cover.
- the removal cap has a tear-open, which below the opening for the removal mandrel and in the region of the open front end, for. is arranged in the open Lu men the removal cap.
- the tear-open is arranged between the receiving opening and the open front end.
- the tear-open aid When inserting the removal mandrel, the tear-open aid is moved in the direction of the open front end.
- the tear-open can be a blade, a disc, and / or a plate.
- the tear-open is formed substantially flat.
- the movement of the tear-up aid generated by the introduction of the removal mandrel can also be referred to below as
- the tear aid comes into contact with the cover of the container during the tear-open assist movement and thus ruptures the cover.
- the rupture aid thus makes it possible to pierce an opening for the flow of Enteralen food solution, this opening being larger than an opening created by the removal mandrel.
- the flow of Ernähru ngsck between the container and the drip chamber is thus simplified and / or stabilized.
- the shape and / or the cross section of the tear-open aid can substantially correspond to the desired shape of the opening produced by the tear-open aid.
- the removal cap and the removal mandrel form a coupling element which connects the container to a drip chamber.
- this is open
- the front end of the extraction cap is connected to the container while the removal mandrel is inserted in the receiving opening and is flow-connected to the drip chamber
- the removal cap In the assembled state of the removal cap with the container, the removal cap can be connected to the attachment of the container by a frictional connection and / or a positive connection and / or a material connection.
- Removal cap arranged a screw thread.
- a screw thread indicates the approach of the container a corresponding screw b thread, engages in the assembled state of the removal cap with the container, the screw thread of the removal cap in the screw thread of the approach and thus forms a screw connection between the removal cap and the container.
- the removal cap may be a strap closure, e.g. the bracket of the removal cap can be anchored in two opposite recesses of the container veran.
- the removal cap can be a crown cork or a cross-stopper and form a positive connection in the assembled state with the boundary of the container. In this case, therefore, the limit of the container serves as an approach.
- the extraction cap may e.g. have a clamping ring which is arranged in particular in the region of the open front end.
- the clamping ring clamps e.g. the approach and thus forms a frictional connection between the sampling cap and the container.
- the removal cap is replaced by the o.g. Friction, form-fitting and / or material connection attached to the approach of the container and can serve as a protective element for the cover before the application of the container (for example, during transport and / or the storage of the container).
- the receiving opening for the removal mandrel is a guide aid, which determines the orientation of the removal mandrel, in particular by means of a cross-sectional shape.
- the cross-sectional shape does not have a rotational symmetry and in particular is not substantially circular.
- the cross-sectional shape is a cross, an oval, a rectangle, a star, or the like.
- the guide aid limits the connection possibilities between the removal cap and the removal mandrel, i. the possibilities according to which the removal mandrel can be introduced into the receiving opening. This simplifies the mounting of the removal mandrel with the
- the guide aid ensures that the extractor mandrel, particularly the pointed end thereof, is properly positioned with respect to the tearing aid, which optimizes the tear assist movement of the tearing aid and thus the tearing open of the container cover.
- An embodiment of the extraction cap according to the invention has a Bellustu ngsö réelle on the opposite side of the sampling cap, which allows, for example, the ventilation in the container. This vent compensates the pressure between the inside and outside of the container, thus facilitating the drainage of the nutritional solution from the container through the container
- the tear-open aid is integrally formed with the sealing body.
- the Materialsr entitled NEN is integrally formed with the sealing body.
- the tear aid and the sealing body reduces the complexity of the production of the extraction cap according to the invention, which u.a. leads to material savings and / or cost reduction.
- the tearing aid and the sealing body should not be manufactured separately and independently of each other and then put on, but they may e.g. be made in one piece by a relatively simple plastic injection molding process.
