A61M5/3275
Antimicrobial/haemostatic interface pad for placement between percutaneously placed medical device and patient skin
A safety needle assembly of an infusion set is disclosed. The needle assembly is configured to prevent fluid/vapor escape therefrom so as to reduce or prevent fluid exposure to a clinician using the needle assembly. In one embodiment, the needle assembly comprises a handle portion including a needle extending therefrom, the needle defining a lumen for passage of a fluid therethrough. The needle assembly also includes a safety assembly defining a needle hole through which the needle initially extends. The safety assembly is selectively and axially slidable along the needle in order to shield a distal tip of the needle and prevent user contact therewith. A fluid isolation component is included in the safety assembly for isolating fluid escape from the needle. In another embodiment, an interface pad is included on the bottom of the needle assembly and includes an antimicrobial and/or haemostatic agent to protect the needle insertion site.
MEDICAMENT DELIVERY MEMBER HOUSING ASSEMBLY
A medicament delivery member housing assembly is disclosed that extends along an axis in a longitudinal direction from a proximal end to a distal end. The medicament delivery member housing assembly has a housing, a medicament delivery member, a proximal shield, and a distal shield. The housing can have a body and a flexible arm, the flexible arm extending in the longitudinal direction from a proximal end moveable relative to the body to a distal end attached to the body, wherein the flexible arm has a first surface facing towards the proximal end of the medicament delivery member housing assembly and a second surface facing in a radial direction relative to the axis. The proximal shield extends around a first end of the medicament delivery member, the proximal shield can have a surface facing towards the distal end of the medicament delivery member housing assembly to interact with the first surface of the housing during use.
Single Use Safety Needle Guard
A Hypodermic Needle Safety Guard intended for sharps prevention and safer hypodermic needle use during all stages of an injection process. The Safety Guard may include two symmetrically positioned multi-featured arms that include spring tension, multiple hinges and needle locks. These arms may connect a proximal Luer body and a distal alignment tip thereby enabling the guard to open, close and lock on a needle when manual pressure is applied. The Guard position during hypodermic needle use tends to prevent sharps injury by adjusting the exposure of the Needle tip.
Needle cannula-catheter bonding method and apparatus
A cannula-catheter bonding method and apparatus can include a needle having a specifically configured connector end to reduce the risk of the connector end disengaging with an adapter (e.g., a catheter, a cannula, or a connector of a Huber needle assembly, etc.). The specifically configured needle connector end can be a formation, such as a barb, a bead, an annular structure, a rib, etc. The formation can be formed on the connector end, and may be elongated with a conical shaped nose leading to a base with a bottom. The formation can be used to prevent movement of the needle relative to the adapter. A method for producing the formation can include forming a mold for the formation in a plate, where the connector end can then be placed within the mold so that curable material can be disposed within the mold. Upon hardening of the curable material, the formation can take the shape of at least a portion of the mold.
Huber safety needle
A Huber safety needle assembly including a body, configured to receive a needle. The body further including an upper portion having a first gripping portion coupled thereto, a lower portion having a second gripping portion coupled to thereto, and a hinge mechanism. The needle having a needle tip configured to be received in the body. The hinge mechanism is configured to operably transition the body between a closed configuration and an open configuration. The closed configuration allowing at least a portion of the needle, including the needle tip, to extend below the bottom surface of the lower portion of the body. The open configuration allowing the needle tip to be securely received within the lower portion such that it does not extend below the bottom surface of the lower portion.
NEEDLE GUARD
A needle guard assembly having a resilient arm extending from a base situated to slide along the shaft of a needle. In one implementation the needle guard has an elongate containment member that rides with the resilient arm and is co-operable with the resilient arm to effectuate a covering of the entire distal tip of the needle upon the needle being retracted into the needle guard.
IV catheter having external needle shield and internal blood control septum
An extravascular system is provided which includes a catheter adapter having a blood control septum configured to control flow of a fluid through the catheter adapter, the catheter adapter further having a catheter configured for intravenous insertion. The extravascular system further includes a septum activator slidably inserted within the catheter adapter and configured for advancement through the blood control septum to provide a fluid pathway through the blood control septum. Further still, the extravascular system includes an external safety mechanism comprising a needle hub and a needle shield interconnected via a tether, wherein the needle shield includes a safety clip that is configured to retain a sharpened end of the introducer needle within the needle shield. Some implementations further comprise an access port forming a portion of the catheter adapter and providing selective access to the lumen of the catheter adapter.
DISPOSABLE INJECTION NEEDLE
The present disclosure relates to a disposable injection needle including: a needle mount having a tube needle; a first sleeve, one end of which is suitable for connecting to the needle mount to define receiving space, and the other end of which is provided with a first opening; a second sleeve, one end of which is located inside the receiving space, and the other end of which having a second opening, wherein the second sleeve is provided in an axially slideable manner; an elastic element adapted to allow the second sleeve moves axially toward outside the receiving space, wherein: the needle mount or the first sleeve is provided with a stop surface and a limit groove; the second sleeve is provided with a limit arm comprising a limit face and a protruding member which is adapted to enter the limit groove with axial relative movement between the first sleeve and the second sleeve; the limit face has a first radial location and a second radial location, the location of the limit face is adapted to be changed radially based on elastic deformation of the limit arm; in the first radial location, the limit face is adapted to pass axially the stop surface, and in the second radial location, the limit face is adapted to abut against the stop surface to prevent the second sleeve from moving axially further toward inside the receiving space.
REUSABLE AUTOMATIC INJECTION DEVICE
A user-powered medicament injector including a reusable, user-powered automatic injection assembly including a user energizable medicament injection subassembly and a medicament module removably insertable into the reusable, user-powered automatic injection assembly and including a module housing adapted to receive a syringe having a barrel, a needle engaged to said barrel, and a removable needle cap covering the needle; a needle shield configured to be moveable with respect to the module housing and a needle cap remover associated with the needle shield. The medicament module is configured for energizing the user energizable medicament injection subassembly by insertion of the medicament module into the reusable, user powered automatic injection assembly.
Huber safety needle
A Huber safety needle assembly including a body, configured to receive a needle. The body further including an upper portion having a first gripping portion coupled thereto, a lower portion having a second gripping portion coupled to thereto, and a hinge mechanism. The needle having a needle tip configured to be received in the body. The hinge mechanism is configured to operably transition the body between a closed configuration and an open configuration. The closed configuration allowing at least a portion of the needle, including the needle tip, to extend below the bottom surface of the lower portion of the body. The open configuration allowing the needle tip to be securely received within the lower portion such that it does not extend below the bottom surface of the lower portion.
