Abstract

The invention relates to a closure cap ( 1 ) for receptacles for receiving medical liquids, in particular receptacles filled with infusion solutions, transfusion solutions or liquids for enteral nutrition. The invention further relates to a receptacle ( 40 ) for receiving medical liquids, in particular a bottle, comprising such a closure cap. The closure cap ( 1 ) according to the invention is characterized by two injection parts ( 6 and 7 ) arranged separately from one another, each for injecting an additive. One injection part ( 6 ) serves to inject an additive with an injection syringe that has a needle (cannula), while the other injection part ( 7 ) serves to inject an additive with a needle-less injection syringe.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A closure cap for receptacles for receiving medical liquids, said closure cap comprising: a withdraw part for withdrawing the medical liquid using a spike,
wherein the withdrawal part has
an outwardly directed connector part, with a recess for receiving the spike, and
an inwardly directed closure part, in which a self-sealing membrane is arranged with which the recess of the withdrawal part is closed, and
a first injection part separate from the withdrawal part and designed for injecting an additive into the medical liquid using a needleless injection syringe,

wherein the first injection part has an outwardly directed connector part, with a recess for receiving the conical stem of the syringe, and an inwardly directed closure part, in which a self-sealing membrane is arranged with which the recess of the first injection part is closed,
wherein the closure cap has a second injection part separate from the first injection part and designed for injecting an additive into the medical liquid using an injection syringe that has a needle,
wherein the second injection part has an inwardly directed closure part, with a recess in which a self-sealing membrane is arranged with which the recess of the closure part is closed
wherein the closure cap has a lid having an inner portion and an outer portion protruding outward from the inner portion and
wherein the first and second injection parts and the withdrawal part are arranged lying next to one another in a row on the outer portion of the lid part.

2. The closure cap as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connector part of the first injection part has an outer thread.

3. The closure cap as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connector part of the first injection part is closed with a break-off part, which is attached to the connector part of the first injection part via an annular break zone.

4. The closure cap as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the break-off part comprises a lateral grip tab that comprises a first portion that extends across the outer portion of the lid part.

5. The closure cap as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the lateral grip tab further comprises a second portion distal to the first portion, the second portion extending in a direction perpendicular to the first portion.

6. The closure cap as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second injection part has an outwardly directed annular shoulder, which is closed with a break-off part attached to the annular shoulder of the second injection part via an annular break zone.

7. The closure cap as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the break-off part of the second injection part has a lateral grip tab, which extends across the outer portion of the lid part.

8. The closure cap as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the lateral grip tab further comprises a second portion distal to the first portion, the second portion extending in a direction perpendicular to the first portion.

9. The closure cap as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the closure part of the first injection part and/or the closure part of the second injection part and/or the closure part of the withdrawal part has an inwardly projecting edge, which fixes and clamps the self-sealing membrane of the closure part of the first and second injection parts and of the withdrawal part in the recess.

10. The closure cap as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the recess of the first and second injection parts in each case has a first cylindrical upper portion and, adjoining the first cylindrical portion, a second cylindrical lower portion, wherein the second cylindrical portion has a greater diameter than the first cylindrical portion.

11. The closure cap as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the self-sealing membrane of the first injection part has an annular lower portion, which is arranged in the second cylindrical portion of the recess, and a plate-shaped upper portion, which adjoins the annular portion via a central web and is arranged in the first cylindrical portion.

12. The closure cap as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the self-sealing membrane of the first injection part has a cup-shaped depression.

13. The closure cap as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the self-sealing membrane of the withdrawal part has an outer annular upper portion, to which a plate-shaped lower portion is adjoined via a central web, wherein the outer annular portion of the membrane is held with a clamping action.

14. The closure cap as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connector part of the withdrawal part is closed with a break-off part, which is attached to the connector part of the withdrawal part via an annular break-off zone.

15. The closure cap as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the break-off part of the withdrawal part has a lateral grip tab, which extends across the outer portion of the lid part.

16. The closure cap of claim 1 , wherein the first injection part is disposed between the second injection part and the withdrawal part.

17. The closure cap as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the closure cap comprises at most one withdrawal part.

18. A receptacle for receiving medical liquids, including infusion or transfusion solutions or liquids for enteral nutrition, the receptacle comprising:
a bottle; and
a closure cap with a withdrawal part for withdrawing the medical liquid using a spike,
wherein the withdrawal part has an outwardly directed connector part, with a recess for receiving the spike, and an inwardly directed closure part, in which a self-sealing membrane is arranged with which the recess of the withdrawal part is closed, and a first injection part separate from the withdrawal part and designed for injecting an additive into the medical liquid using a needleless injection syringe,
wherein the first injection part has an outwardly directed connector part, with a recess for receiving the conical stem of the syringe, and an inwardly directed closure part, in which a self-sealing membrane is arranged with which the recess of the first injection part is closed,
wherein the closure cap has a second injection part separate from the first injection part and designed for injecting an additive into the medical liquid using an injection syringe that has a needle,
wherein the second injection part has an inwardly directed closure part, with a recess in which a self-sealing membrane is arranged with which the recess of the closure part is closed
wherein the closure cap has a lid part,
wherein the lid part has an inner portion and an outer portion protruding outward from the inner portion and
wherein the first and second injection parts and the withdrawal part are arranged lying next to one another in a row on the outer portion of the lid part.

19. An apparatus comprising a closure cap for closing a receptacle that contains a liquid, wherein said closure cap comprises
a withdrawal part, a first injection part, a second injection part, and a lid part,
wherein the withdrawal part is configured to permit withdrawal of said liquid using a spike,
wherein the withdrawal part comprises
an outwardly directed connector part, an inwardly directed closure part, recess, and a self-sealing membrane,
wherein the recess is disposed in the outwardly directed connector part,
wherein the recess is configured for receiving the spike,
wherein the membrane is arranged in the inwardly directed closure part, and
wherein the membrane closes the recess,

wherein the first injection part is configured to receive, from a needleless injection syringe having a conical stem, an injection of an additive into the medical liquid,
