- the term "clinician” refers to an individual administering an infusion, performing fluid or tissue collection, installing or removing a needle cannula from a medical needle shield apparatus and may include support personnel.
- the following discussion includes a description of the medical needle shield apparatus, followed by a description of the method of operating the medical needle shield apparatus in accordance with the present disclosure.
- the medical needle shield apparatus includes a shield 46 that is extensible from a retracted position (FIGURES 1 and 3) to an extended position (FIGURE 6) to enclose a distal end 50 of inner needle 51.
- shield 46 In the retracted position, shield 46 is disposed adjacent to a needle hub 45 of outer needle 43.
- inner needle 51 in FIGURES 1-8 is shown as an epidural needle point, it is envisioned that shield 46 may be used with any needle tip.
- the needle assembly includes a hollow outer needle 43.
- Inner needle 51 is slideably and concentrically disposed with outer needle 43 for employment therewith during a medical needle application, as will be discussed.
- a handle 52 is comiected to inner needle 51 to facilitate manipulation thereof.
- a binding member 47 is disposed within shield 46 and defines binding surfaces 60. Binding surfaces 60 form an aperture 62 configured for slidable receipt of inner needle 51 and outer needle 43 between the retracted position and the extended position of shield 46. Binding member 47 includes a drag inducing member, such as, for example, friction members 64 extending therefrom. Binding member 47 has a retainer 57 that is engageable with outer needle 43 and inner needle 51 to prevent inclination of binding member 47. Friction members 62 are configured for slidable engagement with outer needle
- binding member 47 moves to a binding position (FIGURES 7 and 8).
- the force created by blocking members 48 and/or 55 acts in a direction opposite to the drag force. This causes a force couple, which moves binding member 47 to the binding position.
- binding member 47 moves to the binding position. Inclination of binding member 47 is no longer opposed by engagement with inner needle 51 at retainer 57.
- binding member 47 is subject to inclination into the binding position.
- binding member 47 causes binding surfaces 60 to frictionally engage inner needle 51 to prevent movement thereof.
- Blocking members 48 and/or 55 cause binding member 47 to move to the binding position as forces imposed on shield 46 cause relative movement thereof in either direction along longitudinal axis x. This maintains inner needle 51 within shield 46 to avoid hazardous exposure to distal end 51.
- retainer 57 may include ribs, projections, cavities, etc. for engagement with inner needle 51 or that a portion of retainer 57 engages inner needle 51.
- Shield 46 includes a housing 66 that encloses binding member 47. In the illustrative embodiment, housing 66 may comprise two separate sections.
- housing sections may be variously configured and dimensioned such as, for example, rectangular, spherical, etc. It is further envisioned that the housing sections may be joined by any appropriate process such as, for example, snap fit, adhesive, solvent weld, thermal weld, ultrasonic weld, screw, rivet, etc.
- housing 66 may be monolithically formed or integrally assembled of multiple housing sections and may be substantially transparent, opaque, etc. Housing 66 may include ribs, ridges, etc. to facilitate manipulation of the medical needle shield apparatus. It is contemplated that binding surfaces 60 may include sharp edges to increase frictional engagement.
- the binding friction force may be created and varied by one or more altering factors, such as, for example, aperture 62 configuration and dimension, inner needle 51 configuration and dimension, binding member 47 thickness, the dimension from blocking members 48, 55 contact point to the centerline of inner needle 51, and the coefficient of friction between aperture 62 and inner needle 51 depending on the particular requirements of a needle application.
- friction members 64 may be configured so as to vary the drag force with variation of the inclination of the binding member 47, this variation in drag force may be accomplished by geometric changes in the shape of the friction members 64, such as wedge shapes or the inclusion of notches to engage inner needle 51.
- This variation in drag force may also be accomplished through the selective application of friction modifying materials or coatings such as oils, jells, greases, or coatings which increase friction.
- an introducer needle such as outer needle 43
- inner needle 51 having a smaller diameter which is placed within and concentric to the outer needle 43.
- the inner needle 51 is inserted through the outer needle 43 fo ⁇ ning a co-axial assembly 49.
- the co-axial assembly 49 may be removed all together and intact from the patient as illustrated in FIGURE 3.
- the safety shield 46 is extended from the retracted position adjacent to hub 45, beyond the point 44 of outer needle 43, and out to the sharp point 50 of inner needle 51. Since the inner needle 51 is through outer needle 43, the binding member 47 cannot pivot to lock to the point 44 of outer needle 43. Binding member 47 must continue to be advanced to the sharp point 50 of inner needle 51 where retainer 57 senses the end of the device (i.e., sharp point 50) and binding member 47 moves into a binding orientation on inner needle 51 as previously described. The outer needle point 44 is protected by the inner needle 51 that is through the bore of outer needle 43.
- an embodiment of the medical needle shield apparatus includes means for releasably retaining the safety shield to the hub of a medical needle.
- the hub 101 includes a safety shield retention element 102, which interacts with a hub retention element on the safety shield 104. This interaction retains the safety shield 104 to the hub 101 until intentionally removed.
- the interaction may include, for example, a bayonet fitting, ramp, detents (see e.g., FIGURE 6 showing detent 68 and corresponding slot 70 in hub 45), snaps deformable geometry, friction fitting suction, magnets or any suitable removable retention configurations kno i in the art.
- the safety shield may be released from the retention element 118 by overcoming the interaction method.
- One configuration shown in FIGURES 12 - 17 includes a bayonet fitting. This fitting is overcome, for example, by rotating the safety shield 104 and then extending the safety shield 104 distally. Other such fittings and interaction methods are similarly overcome.
- This configuration also provides a safety shield 104 with an external grip element 110. The external grip element may be used to facilitate actuation of the safety shield 104.
- a safety shield 104 based on a binding component as described herein, is adapted for use with external grip element 110.
- the external grip element can include, for example, wings, tabs, buttons, annular rims, and the like. Selected textures such as ribs, grips contours and the like may also be provided on the safety shield surface to aid griping.
- FIGURES 18 - 20 depicted is another means for releasably retaining the safety shield to the hub of a medical needle.
- Safety shield 104 includes a safety shield retention element 118, which interacts with hub 101 via a friction fit at surface 105. This interaction retains the safety shield 104 to the hub 101 until intentionally removed.
- the interaction between retention element 118 and hub 101 may also serve as an alignment feature for safety shield 104 relative to the hub 101.
- the safety shield may be released from the retention element 118 by overcoming the friction fit at surface 105. It is envisioned that one or more retention elements 118 may be utilized.
- FIGURE 20 shows another embodiment of retention element 118 for releasably retaining the safety shield to the hub of a medical needle.
- Retention element 118 includes an extended surface, which interacts with hub 101 via a friction fit at surface 105. This interaction retains the safety shield 104 to the hub 101 until intentionally removed.
- retention element 118 may also serve as an alignment feature for safety shield 104 relative to the hub 101.
- the safety shield may be released from the retention element 118 by overcoming the friction fit at surface 105.
- one or more retention elements 118 may be utilized.
- a particular configuration shown in FIGURES 21 - 23 includes a sheath 120 fitting to safety shield 104 by means of a sheath retention element 121.
- the sheath retention element may be coupled with safety shield retention element 102 such that removal of the sheath 120 does not interfere or dislodge the safety shield 104.
- the sheath retention element 121 may include, for example, friction fit, press fit, suction, bayonet fitting, detents, deformable geometry, snaps and the like.
- FIGURES 24 - 26 another particular embodiment of the medical safety shield apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a hub 201 having a magnifier section 202 for viewing fluid flashback therein.
- Hub 201 includes a magnifier section 202 formed or installed with the hub 201 for viewing fluid flashback directly after the flashback exits needle 203.
- Viewing area 204 of the magnifier section 202 as shown in FIGURE 25 is larger than a focal area 205 of the magnifier section 202.
- a clinician is thereby allowed to view a small section of flashback area 206 through a larger viewing area 204 to more easily view fluid flashback and thereby decrease response time to certain medical procedures.
- Magnifier section 202 on hub 201 enhances viewing of focal area 205 by refracting light from focal area 205 to the clinician's viewing area 204.
- FIGURE 26 illustrates refraction of light from focal area 205 through the magnifier section 202 as the light passes through curved section 207 of viewing area 204 from focal area 205.
- the focal area 205 is thereby magnified when viewed from viewing area 204 and visual detection of fluid flashback is thereby enhanced.
- the size and location of focal area 205 and the amount of magnification are dependent on the curvature of curved section 207.
- Focal area 205, curved section 207 and viewing area 204 can be adapted to better suit a specific application.
- adaptations include, but are not limited to, large and smaller focal areas 205, more or less magnification, and larger or smaller viewing areas 2O4.
- magnifier section 202 can be constructed from any of a large number of transparent materials such as, for example, polycarbonate, polystyrene, acrylic, PNC, glass or the like. It is further contemplated that magnifier section 202 may be formed integrally with hub 201, for example, wherein hub 201 is constructed from a substantially transparent material.
- the invention of the present disclosure may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.
