Description

An infusion set needle Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an infusion set needle. Background Technology

[0002] Clinically used infusion sets consist of a needle handle, needle, needle cap, and tubing. When administering an infusion, healthcare workers remove the needle cap, hold the needle handle, insert the needle, and then discard the needle cap in the trash. After the infusion is complete, the healthcare worker removes the needle by holding the needle handle, leaving the needle exposed. Typically, the healthcare worker uses one hand to hold the tubing while using the other hand to hold the needle handle and insert the needle into the tubing. The hand holding the tubing is at risk of being pricked by the needle. Furthermore, even if the needle cap is consciously retained for use after the infusion, the risk of needle pricks still exists, as one hand holds the cap while the other holds the needle handle to insert the needle into the cap, increasing the risk of occupational exposure.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1 to 6, this embodiment provides an infusion set needle, including a needle handle 10, a needle tip 20, and a shielding device 30.

[0033] The needle 20 is connected to the needle handle 10 and has a needle tip 21. The shielding device 30 can be held on the needle handle 10 and can also be held on the needle 20 and cover the needle tip 21.

[0034] Specifically, the shielding device 30 prevents the needle tip 21 from pricking medical personnel by covering it. Its structure can be a sleeve that slides on the needle handle 10 and the needle tip 20, secured to either the handle 10 or the needle tip 20 by clamping or using a rope. The shielding device 30 is conveniently located on the needle handle 10 for medical personnel to grip, and it shields the needle tip 21 on the needle tip 20, preventing pricking. The shielding device 30 is held on the needle handle 10, making it easy to access when needed without requiring separate carrying, thus increasing convenience.

[0035] In one embodiment, the shielding device 30 includes a shielding sleeve 31 and a first limiting member 32.

[0036] The shielding sleeve 31 is fitted onto the needle handle 10. The shielding sleeve 31 can be held on the needle handle 10 or on the needle tip 20 and cover the needle tip 21. One end of the first limiting member 32 is rotatably connected to one end of the shielding sleeve 31, and after rotation, it forms a seal at the end of the shielding sleeve 31.

[0037] In this embodiment, the medical staff holds the needle handle 10 and inserts the needle. After the infusion is completed and the needle is withdrawn, the shielding sleeve 31 is moved to the needle tip 21, and then the first limiting member 32 is rotated. The first limiting member 32 covers the end of the shielding sleeve 31. At this time, the shielding sleeve 31 covers the needle tip 21, preventing the medical staff from being pricked by the needle tip 21. It should be noted that when the medical staff moves the shielding sleeve 31 from the needle handle 10 to the needle tip 21, the direction of hand movement is the same as that of the needle 20, rather than the hand being opposite to the needle tip 21. Therefore, the probability of the hand being pricked by the needle tip can be reduced.

[0038] In one embodiment, the needle handle 10 includes an installation tube 11 and a limiting sleeve 12.

[0039] The mounting tube 11 is connected to the needle 20. The limiting sleeve 12 is sleeved on the mounting tube 11. The blocking sleeve 31 is fitted onto the limiting sleeve 12 with a gap, and the blocking sleeve 31 can rotate and slide on the limiting sleeve 12.

[0040] The shielding device 30 also includes a first side wing 33 and a second limiting member 34. One end of the first side wing 33 is fixedly connected to the first limiting member 32. The second limiting member 34 is fixedly connected to one end of the first side wing 33 and rotatably connected to the end of the shielding sleeve 31 away from the first limiting member 32. Specifically, the first limiting member 32 and the second limiting member 34 are located on the outer sides of both ends of the limiting sleeve 12, respectively. The rotation center lines of the first limiting member 32 and the second limiting member 34 are the same, and the first limiting member 32 and the second limiting member 34 can simultaneously abut against both ends of the limiting sleeve 12.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first side wing 33 is moved so that the first limiting member 32 and the second limiting member 34 on both sides rotate and press against the outer wall of the mounting tube 11. At this time, the first limiting member 32 and the second limiting member 34 are located at both ends of the limiting sleeve 12 and are in contact with both ends of the limiting sleeve 12, so that the blocking sleeve 31 cannot move axially relative to the limiting sleeve 12, thereby restricting the blocking sleeve 31 to the limiting sleeve 12. That is, the blocking sleeve 31 is held on the needle handle 10. The structure is compact and the design is reasonable.

[0042] In one embodiment, a second side wing 35 is also fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shielding sleeve 31. Specifically, both the first side wing 33 and the second side wing 35 are plate-shaped. The second side wing 35 facilitates cooperation with the first side wing 33, preventing the shielding sleeve 31 from rotating when only the first side wing 33 is present, which would otherwise cause operational inconvenience. When inserting the needle, the first side wing 33 is pressed against the second side wing 35 to fix the shielding sleeve 31 in place. Furthermore, it is also more convenient for medical personnel to insert the needle by pinching the first side wing 33 and the second side wing 35 with their thumb and forefinger.

[0043] In one embodiment, the shielding device 30 further includes a connector 36 and an anti-detachment sleeve 37.

[0044] The connector 36 is connected to the end of the blocking sleeve 31 away from the needle tip 21. The anti-detachment sleeve 37 is sleeved on the mounting tube 11 and abuts against the end of the limiting sleeve 12. Specifically, when the blocking sleeve 31 moves to the position of the needle tip 21, the anti-detachment sleeve 37 moves to the limiting sleeve 12 and abuts against it. At this time, the first limiting member 32 also rotates to the end of the blocking sleeve 31. This ensures that if the blocking sleeve 31 moves further away from the limiting sleeve 12, it will be restricted because the anti-detachment sleeve 37 abuts against the limiting sleeve 12. Conversely, if the blocking sleeve 31 moves towards the limiting sleeve 12, it will be restricted because the first limiting member 32 abuts against the needle tip 21.

[0045] In one embodiment, the second side wing 35 has a through clearance opening 351, the first side wing 33 has a locking hole 331, and the blocking device 30 also includes an elastic ring 38. Specifically, the elastic ring 38 can be a rubber band to reduce costs. The elastic ring 38 is sleeved on the blocking sleeve 31, and passes through the clearance opening 351 and the locking hole 331.

[0046] In this embodiment, during the rotation of the first side wing 33 around its rotation center, the distance between the end of the first side wing 33 near the outer wall of the shielding sleeve 31 and the shielding sleeve 31 increases and then decreases again, causing the elastic ring 38 to be stretched first and then shortened. Under the action of the elastic ring 38, the first side wing 33 is normally kept in contact with the second side wing 35, thereby fixing the shielding sleeve 31 on the limiting sleeve 12. When the first side wing 33 is moved away from the second side wing 35, the elastic ring 38 is first stretched until the first side wing 33 rotates to a position (temporarily designated as the transition point, at which point the first side wing 33, its rotation center, and the axis of the shielding sleeve 31 are roughly on the same plane, and the elastic ring 38 is stretched to its maximum). Once the first side wing 33 rotates further, as the distance between the first side wing 33 and the shielding sleeve 31 decreases, the first side wing 33 will rotate rapidly under the action of the elastic ring 38, thereby causing the first limiting member 32 and the second limiting member 34 to quickly leave the mounting tube 11 and quickly disconnect from the limiting sleeve 12, thus allowing the shielding sleeve 31 to move. Moreover, under the action of the elastic ring 38, the first limiting member 32 tends to cover the end of the shielding sleeve 31, so that once the first limiting member 32 moves to the end of the needle tip 21, the first limiting member 32 can rotate and cover the end of the shielding sleeve 31. When medical staff operate the device, they can pinch the first side wing 33 and the second side wing 35 to drive the needle tip 21 to complete the needle insertion operation. After the needle is withdrawn, the medical staff only needs to separate the first side wing 33 and the second side wing 35 at a certain angle with both hands. Under the action of gravity, the needle 20 and the needle tip 21 naturally retract into the shielding sleeve 31. Under the action of the elastic ring 38, the medical staff only needs to hold the installation tube 11. Driven by the elastic ring 38, the first limiting member 32 rotates to the end of the shielding sleeve 31 and covers the needle tip 21 together with the shielding sleeve 31. The operation is convenient and the hand is no longer facing the needle tip 21, avoiding being pricked.

[0047] In one embodiment, the first limiting member 32 includes a first arcuate portion 321 and a cover portion 322.

[0048] The first arc-shaped portion 321 is rotatably connected to the end of the shielding sleeve 31 and can abut against the end of the limiting sleeve 12. The cover portion 322 is fixedly connected to the first side wing 33 and can be rotated to the end of the shielding sleeve 31. Specifically, the cover portion 322 is generally a circular plate, the size of which is approximately the same as the inner cavity size of the shielding sleeve 31.

[0049] In one embodiment, the second limiting member 34 includes a second arcuate portion 341 that abuts against the end of the limiting sleeve 12. One end of the second arcuate portion 341 is rotatably connected to the end of the blocking sleeve 31, and the other end of the second arcuate portion 341 is connected to the first side wing 33. The second arcuate portion 341 and the first arcuate portion 321 have substantially the same shape.

[0050] Numerous specific details are set forth in this specification. However, it will be understood that embodiments of the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods, structures, and techniques have not been shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this specification.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of the present invention.
