Abstract
Abstract An injector for infusion or transfusion systems utilizes a housing having a duct extending longitudinally therethrough. The inner surface of a penetrable membrane covers an end of the duct, with the edge of the surface abutting an annular shoulder of the housing. A ring is disposed in an annular indentation on the periphery of the outer surface of the membrane, with the outer edge of the inner surface of the ring abutting a second annular shoulder of the housing. The outer surface of the ring and the central portion of the outer surface of the membrane are flush.
