Description

Blood-blocking catheter

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on November 14, 2023, with application number 202311517007.6, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of medical devices, for example, to a blood-blocking indwelling needle. Background Art

[0003] An intravenous catheter is an infusion tool, which is usually composed of a stainless steel needle core, a soft outer cannula and a plastic needle seat. During puncture, the outer cannula and the needle core are inserted into the blood vessel together, and then the needle core is pulled out, leaving the outer cannula in the blood vessel. For patients who receive long-term infusion or intermittent or continuous infusion, the use of an intravenous catheter can avoid the damage and complications caused by repeated punctures, so it is widely used in clinical practice.

[0004] Considering the risk of accidental contact with the needle tip after the puncture needle is withdrawn, which could potentially cause infection to outsiders, some indwelling needles have added a needle tip protection component. When the needle is withdrawn, the needle tip protection component wraps around the needle tip and is removed along with the needle core, thus shielding the needle tip. However, the cavity where the existing needle tip protection component is located is connected to the puncture site in the human body. As a result, when the needle is withdrawn, the removed needle tip protection component becomes contaminated with the patient's blood, which can easily lead to bacterial spillage and infectious diseases. Improvements are urgently needed.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0024] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , this embodiment provides a blood blocking indwelling needle, comprising a catheter seat 1 , a connecting seat 2 and a needle seat 3 .

[0025] A catheter 11 is provided at the head end of the catheter hub 1 , and the tail end of the catheter hub 1 is open. A first cavity 12 is formed inside the catheter hub 1 , and a sealing plug 13 and a spring 14 are provided in the first cavity 12 .

[0026] The first cavity 12 here is a chamber connected to the puncture port of the human body, which inevitably retains blood, and the needle tip protection buckle 25 and other components are located behind the first cavity 12. Therefore, blocking the first cavity 12 can directly and effectively prevent blood from overflowing.

[0027] The sealing plug 13 here is made of silicone material, and a gap is left between the edge of the sealing plug 13 and the inner wall of the catheter seat 1. The reason is that the active surface of the sealing plug 13 is on the end surface and needs to move axially; the spring 14 is made of a plastic material that is not easy to coagulate, such as polycarbonate (PC), so that it can operate normally and maintain the top pressure on the sealing plug 13.

[0028] The connecting seat 2 is assembled at the rear end of the catheter seat 1 . A second cavity 21 is formed inside the connecting seat 2 . A bracket 23 is disposed in the second cavity 21 .

[0029] A flange 22 is provided in the middle of the outer surface of connector 2. Flange 22 is ultrasonically welded to the rear end of catheter adapter 1 to ensure a secure connection. The port of connector 2 is inserted into the rear end of catheter adapter 1, forming a contact surface with sealing plug 13. Sealing plug 13 abuts against the port of connector 2, sealing first cavity 12. Bracket 23 here can extend or retract into connector 2, pushing sealing plug 13 against the force of spring 14, thereby unblocking first cavity 12 for infusion.

[0030] The bracket 23 also serves to limit the position of the sealing plug 13 when the needle is withdrawn, preventing excessive pressure on the sealing plug 13, which would otherwise reduce the sealing effect. The bracket 23 comprises an end plate 231 and a support arm 232 extending axially from the edge of the end plate 231. The end plate 231 is flush with the port of the connector 2 and is provided with a clearance hole 233 to allow the needle tube 31 to pass through. The inner wall of the connector 2 is provided with a positioning groove 24 for receiving the support arm 232.

[0031] A needle tube 31 is provided on the needle seat 3, and a needle tip protection buckle 25 is provided in the second cavity 21. The needle tip protection buckle 25 is buckled on the needle tube 31 and is used to wrap the needle tip of the needle tube 31 when the needle is withdrawn. The needle tip protection buckle 25 is an existing protection component, and its structure and principle will not be elaborated on.

[0032] The head end of the needle seat 3 is provided with a protrusion 32 that cooperates with the connecting seat 2 and is plugged into the connecting seat 2. A stop step 33 is formed on the protrusion 32 to limit the axial position of the needle tip protection buckle 25.

[0033] A vent plug 4 is provided at the tail end of the needle seat 3 , and a vent membrane 41 is provided in the vent plug 4 .

[0034] Based on the above structure, in the puncture state, the catheter seat 1, the connecting seat 2, the needle seat 3, and the vent plug 4 are connected in sequence, and the needle tube 31 pierces the sealing plug 13 and extends into the catheter 11 to puncture the blood vessel;

[0035] In the needle withdrawal state, the connector 2 is separated from the needle hub 3, and the needle tube 31 is withdrawn from the catheter 11 and the sealing plug 13. The sealing plug 13 seals the puncture hole of the needle tube 31 due to its own characteristics, and the sealing plug 13 is pressed by the spring 14 and blocks the port of the connector 2, thereby isolating the first cavity 12 from the second cavity 21 and preventing blood from overflowing. At this time, the withdrawn needle tube 31 and the surface of the needle tip protection buckle 25 are almost not stained with blood, which is highly safe.

[0036] In the infusion state, the connecting seat 2 is connected to the syringe, and the connector of the syringe pushes the bracket 23 out of the connecting seat 2. The bracket 23 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 14 and pushes open the sealing plug 13, so that the first cavity 12 is connected to the second cavity 21, thereby ensuring normal infusion.

[0037] In summary, the above-mentioned blood-blocking indwelling needle is designed with an anti-overflow structure. When the needle is withdrawn, the sealing plug and the spring are used to seal the chamber connected to the puncture port of the human body to prevent blood overflow. During infusion, the sealing plug is pushed open by the injection pressure to ensure normal infusion, thereby meeting the use requirements and improving the safety of use.
