BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Having thus generally described the invention, reference will be made to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1A is an elevational view of a reconstitution and injection system according to an embodiment of the present invention:
Figures 1 B through 1 I are cross sectional views illustrating operation of the system.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to the drawings in greater detail and by reference characters thereto, there is illustrated a reconstitution and injection system which is generally designated by reference numeral 10.
Reconstitution injection system 10 includes a housing side wall 12 which is generally of a cylindrical configuration along with a distal end wall 14 and a proximal end wall 16.
For purposes of this application, distal means the end used for injection while proximal means the opposite end or the end where a pushing force is applied. Distal end wall 14 has a nose 18 formed thereon through which a passageway extends. It will be noted that there is also provided an enlarged portion 20 of housing wall 12 proximate distal wall 14. Enlarged portion 20 forms an ambutment wall 22.
-2-Mounted internally of housing wall 12 is a first container 24 which is of a generally cylindrical configuration and includes a neck portion 26. First container 24 also has a plunger 28 located at the proximal end thereof and a septum 30 covering the container opening.
A second container 32 is situated forwardly of first container 24 and also has a septum 34 and a plunger 36. It will be noted that the side wall defining second container 32 extends substantially past plunger 36 such that first container 24 is partially located within the wall of second container 32.
Mounted intermediate of first container 24 and second container 32 is a first needle hub 38 which includes a first needle 40 mounted therein. First needle 40 has a first piercing end 42 and a second piercing end 44.
Situated forwardly of first container 24 is a second needle hub 46 containing a second needle 48. Second needle 48 has a first piercing end 50 and an injection end 52. Second needle hub 46 also includes a wall 47 which extends about the wall defining second container 32 and partially about first container 24.
A spring 54 is mounted within housing wall 12 forwardly of second needle hub and is biased against second needle hub 46 and distal end wall 14.
For injection purposes and ease of handling, there are provided finger flanges 56 in a conventional manner.
The reconstitution and injection system 10 also includes an outer plunger rod which is screwthreadedly engaged with plunger 26 and an inner plunger rod 60 which is mounted inwardly of outer plunger rod 58 and releasably retained therein. A
spring 62 is mounted interiorly of outer plunger rod 58 and biases against inner plunger rod 60.
A second container 32 is situated forwardly of first container 24 and also has a septum 34 and a plunger 36. It will be noted that the side wall defining second container 32 extends substantially past plunger 36 such that first container 24 is partially located within the wall of second container 32.
Mounted intermediate of first container 24 and second container 32 is a first needle hub 38 which includes a first needle 40 mounted therein. First needle 40 has a first piercing end 42 and a second piercing end 44.
Situated forwardly of first container 24 is a second needle hub 46 containing a second needle 48. Second needle 48 has a first piercing end 50 and an injection end 52. Second needle hub 46 also includes a wall 47 which extends about the wall defining second container 32 and partially about first container 24.
A spring 54 is mounted within housing wall 12 forwardly of second needle hub and is biased against second needle hub 46 and distal end wall 14.
For injection purposes and ease of handling, there are provided finger flanges 56 in a conventional manner.
The reconstitution and injection system 10 also includes an outer plunger rod which is screwthreadedly engaged with plunger 26 and an inner plunger rod 60 which is mounted inwardly of outer plunger rod 58 and releasably retained therein. A
spring 62 is mounted interiorly of outer plunger rod 58 and biases against inner plunger rod 60.
-3-As shown in Figures 1 C and I D, pressure on plunger rods 58, 60 as shown by arrow 64 will cause the movement of plunger 26 such that first needle 40 will pierce plunger 36 of second container 32 and septum 30 of first container 24. This will cause the material within first container 24 to transfer to second container 32. If desired, the device may be shaken to ensure proper reconstitution.
Continued pressure on plunger 28, as shown in Figure JE, will cause compression of spring 54 and permit the piercing of septum 34 by first piercing end 50 of second needle 48.
Second end 44 will then extend exteriorly of the housing wall 20 through nose 18.
At this point in time, inner plunger rod 60 may be released from its inner engagement with outer plunger rod 58. Spring 62 will then bias inner plunger rod 60 outwardly of outer plunger rod 58 as illustrated by arrow 66 in Figures IF. In so doing, inner plunger rod 60 has protrusions 68 which will lock with corresponding recesses formed in outer plunger rod 58.
The device is now ready for injection as shown in Figure 1G.
Following injection, release of pressure on inner plunger rod 60 will permit spring 54 to act on second container 32 to cause the retraction of needle 40 within housing 12. One may then safely dispose of the device.
Continued pressure on plunger 28, as shown in Figure JE, will cause compression of spring 54 and permit the piercing of septum 34 by first piercing end 50 of second needle 48.
