Abstract
Abstract The syringe outer cylinder (1) is split into a front chamber outer cylinder (1A) and a rear chamber outer cylinder (1B). The powdered medicine is sealed in a sterilized state in the front chamber outer cylinder (1A). The liquid medicine is sealed in a sterilized state in the rear chamber outer cylinder (1B). Thereafter, the front chamber outer cylinder (1A) is coupled to the rear chamber outer cylinder (1B) with a coupling component (10), and the dual chamber prefillable syringe is associated. Therefore, the sealing works of the powdered medicine and the liquid medicine can be treated in parallel.
