Abstract
A multishot sidearm injection site using a needleless injector is made up of a main body (21), an extension sidearm (22) and a silicone valve body (23); the extension sidearm (22) is attached to one side of the main body (21) and the silicone valve body (23) is laterally disposed in the through hole (212) of the main body (21) and in abutment against the extension sidearm (22). When medical solution is to be infused into a patient by means of the present injection site, a needleless syringe is inserted into the conical seat (221) of the extension body (22) with the microaperture valve stem (222) thereof fitting inside the male luer member of the applied injection syringe. An operation on the syringe will produce a pressure in the tubular injection opening (223), which will force the silicone valve body (23) to open so as to permit the injected medical solution to enter the delivery tube of the main body.

The present invention relates to a saf ely operated multishot sidearm injection site using a needleless injector which is equipped with a main body and an extension sidearm and a cylindrical silicone valve body which is laterally disposed inside the main body and in abutment with the extension sidearm so as to seal a tubular injection tube disposed through the cente.r of a microaperture valve stem disposed in the extension sidearm into which a needleless syringe is inserted with the valve stem protruding into the inside of the male member o~ a standard tapered Luer fitting of injection : syringes.

i 3 5 DETA~LED l:)ESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to Figs. 3, 4, 5, the safely operated multishot --WO94~04218 ~ 2 1 4 2 8 7 0 P~T/US92/~
injection site of the present invention is comprised of a main body 21, an extension sidearm 22 and a valve body 23 '~
wherein the injection site is made of clear engineering thermoplastic of sufficient clarity and strength to provide visual obssrvations of internal fluid flow and the valve body 23 is made of flexible silicone.
The main body 21 is made in a tubular form with a tube 211 disposed therein and a laterally oriented through hole 212 in communication with the tube 211 of the main body 21 is integrally formed thereon for the insertion of the extension sidearm 22 into the main body 21.
The extension sidearm 22 is in a tubular form and i;s provided with a closed end with a tapered inner wall 221 defined therein. An inward protruded valve stem 222 is disposed at the center of the closed end of the sidear~
22 and is provided with a tubular injection hole 223 through which the medical solution is infused into the injection delivery tube. A pair of lugs 224 are disposed at the periphery of the opposite ~nd of the closed end.
The valve body 23 is made in a cylindrical form and has ; an outer diameter smaller than the smallest diameter o~
the through hole 211 SQ that when the valve body 23 is laterally disposed in the through hole 211, there is still room for the passage of medical solution.
~eferring to Figs. 4, 5, in the assembly, the extension~
sidearm 22 is inserted into the laterally oriented through hole 212 of the main body 21 after the cylindrical valve body 23 is laterally located in the -- ~ main ~ody 21; and the closed end o~ the extension sidearm ~`~ 22 is in abutment against the valve body 23 with the tubular injection through hole 223 sealed thereby.
:
~ ~ As shown in Fig. 6, the present invention is connected to , 094/04218 ~ PCT/US92/068~1 21~2870 a dropper by way of closure piercing device 30, a filter device 31 is coupled to a volume ontroller 32 and the delivery tube 33 is extended therefrom; and the bottom end of the delivery tube 33 is connected to the present site 20, and another delivery tube 33 is coupled to an injection needle at the end of the dropper system.
As shown in Fig. 7, when another medical solution is to be added to the dropper system, a needleless syringe 40 ~o taking the solution from a medical container is used to infuse the same into the dropper system. The protruded - end 41 of the syringe 40 is inserted into tapered through hole 221 of the extension sidearm 22 with the valve stem 222 inserted into the hole of the protruded end 41. Dua to the taper structure of the through hole 221 50 that the air in the through hole can be expelled therefrom when the protruded end 41 of the syringe 40 is inserted into the through hole 221 and no air will be pumped into the delivery tube during the injection of the medical solution from the syringe 40, preventing the cause of embolisms in the blood vessel of t~e patient.
.
; When the syringe 40 is in action to deliver medical solution into the site, pressure will force the silicone valve body 23 to open so as to permit the solution to be infused into the delivery tube 33 via the tubular ~- injection hole 223; when the loss of the pressure or - removal of the syringe 40 takes place, the deformed valve body 23 will resume to its original shape and make the injection hola 223 so as to block the air to enter.
Therefore, no matter how many times of the use of the injection site, no air at all can enter the dropper system. As shown in Fig. 8, the protruded end of the syringe can be provided with additional threads 42 so as to make the syringe 40 firmly secured to the lugs 224 of the extension sidearm 22.

1. The use of ne~dleless syringe to infuse medical solution can effectively protect the nursing personnel from being accidentally hurt by needles.
2. The nursing personnel are free from the risk of being fatally affected as a result of hurting by needles.
