Syringe Holder with Flexible Receiver for Vertical Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for securing syringes during fluid administration are inadequate, as traditional hooks and holders do not provide sufficient restraint against movement, which can disrupt fluid flow to patients, and are inconveniently sized for smaller syringes.
Innovation Solution
A syringe holder with a hook, main body, and receiver design that securely mounts syringes vertically, using a one-piece plastic construction with flexible and resilient materials to ensure stability and ease of use, allowing for proper alignment and secure attachment to medical equipment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional hooks and holders are used to secure syringes, then the syringe can be mounted, but the syringe is not adequately secured and may move during fluid administration
Solution Approach 1:
The holder incorporates a flexible main body that can dynamically adapt to the syringe being inserted. The material allows the structure to bend and flex during insertion, then returns to its original shape to secure the syringe, providing both ease of operation and reliable securing.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder utilizes changes in physical parameters of the material - specifically flexibility and resilience - to achieve different states during insertion and securing. The material transitions from a flexible state during insertion to a more rigid securing state, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and securing stability.
2Ease of operation
If traditional hooks and holders are used, then mounting is possible, but the syringe is not oriented in an appropriate manner for fluid administration
Solution Approach 1:
The holder design incorporates a specific geometric configuration with the receiver positioned to guide the syringe into a vertical orientation. By adding the dimensional aspect of vertical positioning through the receiver structure, the holder achieves both simple mounting and proper orientation simultaneously.
3Adaptability or versatility
If hooks designed for drainage bags are used, then large bags can be supported, but they are inconvenient for smaller syringes
Solution Approach 1:
The holder features a receiver with dimensions specifically optimized for syringe sizes, creating a local adaptation zone. This localized design element allows the holder to be convenient for syringes while the overall structure remains simple, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and ease of operation.

AI summary
A syringe holder is provided for mounting syringe while the syringe is distributing fluid. The syringe holder includes a hook, a main body, and a receiver. The receiver is operatively configured to deploy away from the main body when the syringe is disposed in the receiver.
