Packing for injection device

Abstract

This invention relates to a packing for an injector device for the placement of a subcutaneous infusion set on a patient. An insertion needle used in conjunction with an injector device is employed for transcutaneous placement of a soft and relatively flexible tubular cannula, followed by removal of the insertion needle and subsequent infusion of medical fluid to the patient through the cannula. The packing according to the present invention can storage an injector device combined with an infusion set and an insertion needle under sterile conditions. The packing comprises at least - a first storage room storing the injector device combined with an infusion set and an insertion needle, - a first part (1) providing a further storage room (9b) isolated from the insertion needle (312, 26), is constructed with a bottom part (2a, 2b) and walls (2c) standing upright form the bottom part (2a, 2b), - a second part which is attached to the first part (1) before use in such a way that the conditions inside the packing remain sterile, and seen from a sectional view through the walls (2c), the walls (2c) are forming at least two sections each formed as a partial circle with at least two centres C1 and C2 and the centres C1 and C2 are placed with a distance D between them.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the packaging of an injection device for placing a hypodermic infusion set on a patient. Background technique [0002] Medical needles are widely used during the treatment of patients, especially for the delivery of selected drugs. In one form, a hollow hypodermic needle is used to deliver drugs percutaneously from a syringe or the like, an insertion needle used with an injection device is used to percutaneously place a soft and relatively flexible tubular cannula, after which the insertion needle is removed and subsequently passed through the The cannula administers the medication fluid into the patient. [0003] Often the patient is required to place the medical needle percutaneously by himself. Diabetics, for example, often have to use a hypodermic infusion set with a cannula for the subsequent planned delivery of insulin via a drug infusion pump. [0004] Some patients are unwilling or hesitant to pierce their ow...

Problems solved by technology

Either the packaging is compact and easy to handle, but there is no room for storage of additional equipment or accessories that are necessary or advantageous in applying the injection device and protecting the insertion needle; or the packaging can Contains additional equipment or accessories but is difficult to handle, for example, because it has a separate needle cover attached to the injection device that needs to be removed before use
