Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a connector for connecting a medical injection device to a container closed by a septum. The connector has a distal tip and a sleeve extending around the tip. The sleeve has an inner threaded portion. The connector includes a proximal part configured to engage the tip of the injection device. The proximal part includes an outer threaded portion configured to be removably screwed to the inner threaded portion of the sleeve, distal part configured to be connected to the container, and a hollow spike extending from the proximal part. The hollow spike has an internal volume in fluidic connection with the injection device and perforates the septum of the container when the distal part is connected to the container. The spike includes an opening in a distal end being configured to create a connection between the medical injection device and the container.
