A rigid needle guard (10) comprising an inner part (11) made of elastomeric material, and a rigid outer body (12) that is fastened to said inner part (11) made of elastomeric material via a folded-in portion (121) of the bottom axial end of said rigid outer body (12), said folded-in portion (121) extending radially inwards from the outer peripheral surface (125) of said rigid outer body (12), the outer surface of said folded-in portion (121) forming, at its axially-bottom and radially-outer edge, a sharp and acute angle relative to the outer peripheral surface (125) of said rigid outer body (12).

Passive Safety Huber Needle
20170224917 · 2017-08-10 ·

A safety needle system includes a safety mechanism for a needle assembly, such as a Huber needle. A main body has a channel having a proximal end to encompass tubing and a distal end for positioning proximate a needle. The main body further has a first hinge mechanism and a first latching mechanism. A movable cover has needle receptacle, a second hinge mechanism connected with the first hinge mechanism of the main body, and a biasing member for pivoting movable cover about the first and second hinge mechanisms relative to the main body. The movable cover has a second latching mechanism to latch with the first latching mechanism in a closed position, in which the safety mechanism can be undocked from the needle and slid away from the needle along the tubing. The movable cover has a release mechanism to allow pivoting of the movable cover about the hinge mechanisms such that the needle receptacle of the movable cover at least partially receives the needle of the needle assembly in an open, locked position.

Disposable Safe Vein Transfusion Puncture Needle

The grip is configured to accommodate at least a part of the safety member before puncture of the inner needle and until the safety member advances beyond the needle tip, and includes a first member and a second member that are dividable in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the grip.

Catheter securement device including extended anchor pad and release liner clasping features
11452848 · 2022-09-27 · ·

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a securement device including a retainer defining a channel and at least one mounting wing extending therefrom. The mounting wing extends distally of an insertion site a skin surface adjacent to the insertion site to prevent “rocking” or “pistoning.” The mounting wing further includes channels of reduced thickness configured to impart malleable properties on the mounting wing. This can allow the mounting wing to be shaped to fit different portions of the patient. The retainer further includes various locking and anti-rotational features to guide the catheter into position within the retainer and further prevent “rocking” or “pistoning.” The securement device also includes a protective pad to inhibit abrasions from a medical line, spin nuts, and the like, and includes a clasping feature to retain a portion of the release liner to prevent obstructing ingress/egress of the catheter.
