Abstract

A syringe body for a prefilled syringe includes: a hollow body portion; a proximal-end opening portion provided at a proximal end portion of the body portion; and a distal-end nozzle provided at a distal end portion of the body portion. The body portion is made of a cyclic olefin polymer or a cyclic olefin copolymer. The body portion has a thick body portion accounting for 80% or more of the body portion along an axial direction. A wall thickness of the thick body portion is 2.23 to 2.40 mm.

Claims (60)

1. A syringe body for a prefilled syringe, the syringe body comprising:

a hollow body portion;

a proximal-end opening portion disposed at a proximal end portion of the body portion; and

a distal-end nozzle disposed at a distal end portion of the body portion;

wherein the body portion is made of a cyclic olefin polymer or a cyclic olefin copolymer;

wherein the body portion includes a thick body portion accounting for 80% or more of the body portion along an axial direction;

wherein a nominal volume of the syringe body is in a range of 0.1 to 5 mL; and

wherein a wall thickness of the thick body portion is in a range of 2.23 to 2.40 mm.

2. The syringe body according to claim 1 , wherein:

a nominal volume of the syringe body is in a range of 0.1 to 0.5 mL.

3. The syringe body according to claim 1 , wherein:

an area of an outer circumferential surface of the body portion is in a range of 1300 to 1600 mm 2 .

4. The syringe body according to claim 2 , wherein:

an area of an outer circumferential surface of the body portion is in a range of 1300 to 1600 mm 2 .

5. A syringe system for a prefilled syringe, the syringe system comprising:

a syringe body comprising:

a hollow body portion,

a proximal-end opening portion disposed at a proximal end portion of the body portion, and

a distal-end nozzle disposed at a distal end portion of the body portion

wherein the body portion is made of a cyclic olefin polymer or a cyclic olefin copolymer,

wherein a nominal volume of the syringe body is in a range of 0.1 to 5 mL, and

wherein a wall thickness of the body portion is a range of 2.23 to 2.40 mm;

a gasket that is slidably disposed in the body portion; and

a cap comprising a sealing portion sealing an opening portion of the distal-end nozzle.

6. The syringe system according to claim 5 , wherein:

a nominal volume of the syringe body is in a range of 0.1 to 0.5 mL.

7. The syringe system according to claim 5 , wherein

the gasket includes a gasket body, and a fluororesin disposed on an outer surface of the gasket body.

8. The syringe system according to claim 5 , wherein:

the sealing portion of the cap is made of butyl rubber.

9. A prefilled syringe comprising:

a syringe body comprising:

a hollow body portion

a proximal-end opening portion disposed at a proximal end portion of the body portion, and

a distal-end nozzle disposed at a distal end portion of the body portion,
