Holder For Blood Collection Needle With Blunting Mechanism
US Patent:
6146337, Nov 14, 2000
Filed:
Nov 25, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/199742
Inventors:
John M. Polidoro - Coventry CT

Assignee:
Bio-Plexus, Inc. - Vernon CT
International Classification:
A61B 500, B65D 8100
US Classification:
600576
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a self-blunting blood collection needle (55) in which a blunting member (26a) is deployed upon withdrawal of a blood collection tube (56a) from the tube holder (e. g. , 136), to blunt the needle (22) and so safeguard the patient and the technician from inadvertent needle sticks. The blunting member (26a) is retracted to re-sharpen the needle (22) when a subsequent collection tube is inserted into the holder (136). The deployment and retraction of the blunting member (26a) is accomplished with a mechanism (142) that is responsive to the insertion and withdrawal of the blood collection tube (56a) to retract and deploy the blunting member (26a) accordingly. One feature of the present invention is that the mechanism (142) effects blunting and re-sharpening of the needle without requiring that the technician manipulate the mechanism in a manner different from that of conventional, non-blunting collection needles. Four mechanisms are disclosed: a rack and pinion mechanism (42); a cylindrical cam mechanism (142); a lever mechanism (242) and a reversing strap mechanism (342).
Self-Blunting Needle Assembly For Use With A Catheter, And Catheter Assembly Using The Same
US Patent:
5009642, Apr 23, 1991
Filed:
May 8, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/348711
Inventors:
Carl R. Sahi - Coventry CT
Assignee:
Bio-Plexus, Inc. - Tolland CT
International Classification:
A61M 532
US Classification:
604158
Abstract:
A self-blunting needle assembly (10) for use with a catheter (40), and a catheter assembly (50) attained by mounting the self-blunting needle assembly into a catheter are disclosed. The needle (12) includes a needle shaft (14) having a connector (18) thereon and a blunting device (28) including an elongate probe (30) having a retainer (32) thereon. The connector (18) engages the retainer (32) to provide a lost motion connection between the blunting device (28) and the needle (12). The needle assembly (10) is mounted within a catheter (40) by a force fit of the retainer into the hub chamber (42a) of the catheter, with the needle puncture tip (16) protruding beyond the catheter tube tip (46). After injection of the catheter by means of the needle into a patient's vein, manual withdrawal of the needle from the catheter initially shifts the needle relative to the blunting device (28) by virtue of the lost motion connector, thereby causing the elongate probe (30) to extend beyond the needle tip (16) and blunt the needle. Continued withdrawal removes the needle assembly from the catheter.
