Definitions

  • Medical device comprising a siliconized chamber and a coated closure means
  • the present invention relates in general to a medical device, for example a container or a syringe, comprising a chamber intended to receive a protein containing composition and closure means.
  • a medical device for example a container or a syringe
  • the chamber and the closure means may be able to move one relative to the other, for example translationally and/or rotationally, when the medical device is operated.
  • the chamber is intended to accommodate a protein containing composition in the liquid, gaseous, fluid, pasty or lyophilized phase. This protein containing composition may remain within said chamber for a certain period of time until the medical device is used. In order to be efficient at the time it is used, the protein containing composition should remain stable within said chamber.
  • the proteins interact with the material the chamber is made of.
  • some particles coming from glass chambers may cause aggregation of therapeutic proteins contained in the product stored in the chamber.
  • glass nanoparticles generated during heating of glass chambers for depyrogenation may initiate the nucleation of protein aggregates.
  • the closure means is preferably made at least partially from a viscoelastic material so as to ensure tightness in the region of contact between the chamber and the closure means. It can happen that the proteins interact with the material which the piston is made of, for example rubber. In particular, it is known that some particles coming from rubber pistons may cause aggregation of therapeutic proteins contained in the barrel of an injection device such as a syringe.
  • the closure means is usually a piston which must be able to slide with respect to the internal surface of the chamber, for example the barrel of the syringe, in order to push the product such as the protein containing composition, towards the distal end of the barrel to realize the injection. It is therefore necessary that the piston shows good sliding properties with respect to the internal surface of the barrel.
  • X represents a halogen, for example F, or a hydrogen
  • Yi, Y 2 , Y 3 , Y 4 each independently represent a halogen, for example Cl, or a hydrogen.
  • the polymer material is chosen from the group consisting of poly(p-xylylene) polymers, which may or may not be substituted, and in particular, poly(p-xylylene), poly(p-meta-chloroxylylene), poly(p-ortho- chloro/meta-chloroxylylene) and poly(p-difluoroxylylene).
  • poly(p-xylylene) polymers which may or may not be substituted, and in particular, poly(p-xylylene), poly(p-meta-chloroxylylene), poly(p-ortho- chloro/meta-chloroxylylene) and poly(p-difluoroxylylene).
  • the latter four polymer materials are manufactured and sold by UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION, or by SPECIALTY COATING SYSTEMS, under the names Parylene N, Parylene C, Parylene D and Parylene AF 4 , respectively.
  • a polymer material of the poly(p-xylylene) type is not employed by injection, dissolving or suspending in a solvent, but is used by depositing it onto the part by a direct dry vacuum deposition process using the following protocol:
  • the vaporized dimer is then pyrolized, still under vacuum but at a higher temperature, for example at 650 0 C, in order to obtain the reactive monomer form corresponding to the aforementioned dimer and to the afore- mentioned chemical unit, and
  • the reactive monomer is deposited directly on the entire accessible developed surface of the part, both internal and external, and polymerized at ambient temperature under a low vacuum, in a method akin to the vacuum deposition of a thin metal layer, so as to obtain a continuous coating of (substituted or unsubstituted) poly(p-xylylene) of relatively uniform thickness, completely (with no discontinuity) covering the part of the medical device.
  • the coating thus obtained adheres to the piston directly or indirectly. Because of its slip characteristics, the coating facilitates the relative movement between the two parts of the medical device. In addition, the elastic behaviour of the coating allows it in a resilient manner to accommodate the deformations and stresses imposed on the part provided with it, for example the piston, as it slides in the container. Thus, tightness in the region of contact between the piston and the container can be guaranteed to be maintained.
  • Adhesion between the coating and the part may be direct, particularly by means of chemical bonds formed at the time of deposition and polymerization of the reactive monomer, between the said part and the polymer material, or indirect, by way of a tie layer or primer layer applied beforehand to the surface that is to be coated, if appropriate after that surface has been cleaned or prepared.
  • the polymer material coating of the poly(p-xylylene) type has a thickness ranging from 0.25 ⁇ m to 1 ⁇ m, it being possible for a coating thickness of 0.10 to 76 ⁇ m to be obtained in a single stage.
  • this thickness range seems inappropriate for most medical devices, particularly of the syringe type. This is because with this range of thicknesses, when the two parts of the medical device move relative to one another, the coating breaks, tears or breaks up. This permanently worsens the surface finish of the coated part, at the region of contact between the two moving parts, thus increasing resistance to movement, or friction, between the said two parts.
  • a first aspect of the invention is a medical device comprising :
  • closure means for tightly sealing said inner space, said closure means having at least one face facing said inner space, said face being coated with a coating (8) consisting of at least one polymer material comprising polymer chains having the following repeat unit:

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif médical (1) comprenant au moins une chambre (9) qui présente une surface intérieure (9a) délimitant un espace intérieur (3) destiné à recevoir une composition (4) contenant des protéines, ainsi qu'un moyen de fermeture (10) destiné à assurer l'étanchéité de cet espace intérieur. Ledit moyen de fermeture (10) présente au moins un côté faisant face audit espace intérieur (3), ce côté étant pourvu d'un revêtement (8) composé d'au moins une matière polymère comprenant des chaînes polymères comportant l'unité de répétition (I), dans laquelle X représente un halogène, par exemple F, ou un hydrogène et dans laquelle Y1, Y2, Y3 et Y4 représentent chacun indépendamment un halogène, par exemple Cl, ou un hydrogène. L'invention se caractérise en ce que la surface intérieure (9a) de la chambre (9) est revêtue d'une couche (5) de silicone et en ce que l'épaisseur moyenne du revêtement (8) dudit côté du moyen de fermeture (6; 10) est comprise entre 3 et 10 μm.
