Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cannula assembly for medical use and more particularly to a double lumen cannula for independently conducting fluids into and our of a venipuncture site through two separate passageways.
  • Double lumen cannulae are well known in the art.
  • the best known advantage offered by double lumen cannulae is the ability to separately withdraw blood from a blood vessel and inject blood back into the same blood vessel through a single venipuncture or fistula.
  • the most common double lumen cannulae consist of a single tube with a horizontal division of the tube which places the lumen of the cannulae in immediate juxtaposition.
  • the construction of such double lumen cannulae is expensive, time-consuming and unreliable.
  • the least expensive and most reliable construction of the double lumen cannulae is in the form of concentric cannulae disposed telescopically one within the other. Particularly when using cannulae for single needle dialysis, it is preferred to have one cannula project substantially beyond the other. Attention is directed particularly to the common use of cannulae for single needle dialysis such as that disclosed and described in U.S. Patent 3,756,234.
  • cannulae for single needle dialysis such as that disclosed and described in U.S. Patent 3,756,234.
  • the present invention provides a cannula assembly comprising first and second cannulae that define separate flow paths, the second cannula extending, in a fluid transfer condition, concentrically through and forwardly of the first cannula, the assembly being characterised in that a needle is telescopically mounted therein to be displaceable between a position in a puncturing condition of the assembly in which the needle extends through the first cannula forwardly of both the first and second cannulae and a position in the fluid transfer condition of the assembly in which it is withdrawn rearwardly of the forward end of the first cannula, and further characterised in that the needle and first cannula define a smooth exterior surface for venipuncture.
  • the smooth exterior contour between the needle and the first cannula facilitate venipuncture and yet when the needle is removed an adequate flow path may exist between the first and seeond cannulae.
  • the second cannula is withdrawn to a position rearward of the fi.rst cannula in the puncturing condition of the assembly and is displaceable forwardly in the fluid transfer condition subsequent to withdrawal of the needle.
  • the second cannula is mounted to extend through and forwardly of the first cannula during both the fluid transfer and the puncturing conditions of the assembly and the needle is telescopically slidable on the second cannula to extend between, and forwardly of, the first and second cannulae in the puncturing condition.
  • the cannula assembly generally designated 10 comprises a cannula body or hub 12 preferably formed of a rigid plastics material.
  • An exterior hollow cannula 14 is mounted within the hub 12 at the leading end 16 thereof as shown best in FIGURE 2.
  • the exterior cannula 14 projects forward of the hub 12 a discrete, predetermined distance and is tapered forwardly at the leading tip 18.
  • apertures 20 may be formed in the exterior cannula 14 adjacent the leading tip 18 thereof.
  • the hub 12 has a trailing end 22 which, in the illustrated embodiment, is secured to a flexible sleeve 24.
  • the flexible sleeve 24 is provided with an end plug 26 preferably formed of neoprene or other suitable material which is self-sealing.
  • the hub 12 has an internal throughbore 28 which opens at the trailing end 22 of the hub and is in direct internal communication with the interior of cannula 14.
  • the hub 12 is bifurcated at 30 so as to form a branch Branch 32 has a bore 34 which communicates directly with the bore 28 of the hub 12.
  • the branch 32 is rearward, angularly related with respect to the hub 12 preferably at about 45 degrees or less, the bifurcation and angle facilitating displacement of an interior cannula 38 as hereinafter described.
  • the branch 32 is provided with a sealing means such as neoprene self-sealing plug 36 through which the interior cannula 38 displaceably passes.
  • an elongated stylet needle 40 is telescopically disposed through the entire length of the hub 12 and exterior cannula 14 and has an exterior diameter similar to the interior diameter of the cannula 14 thereby providing a smooth interchange surface.
  • the sharpened tip 42 of the needle 40 projects beyond the exterior cannula 14 so as to permit facile venipuncture and safe introduction of the exterior cannula 14 into a blood vessel according to conventional techniques.
  • the trailing end 44 of the needle 40 is rigidly mounted within a needle hub 46.
  • the needle hub 46 defines a hollow interior 48 which communicates directly with the interior of the hollow needle 40.
  • the needle hub 46 will reflect a blood flashback indicating successful venipuncture.
  • the needle is intended to pass immediately through the plug 26 in the position illustrated in FIGURE 2.
  • a cylindrical housing 50 is mounted upon the needle hub 46 and telescopically circumscribes the sleeve 24 and the trailing end 22 of the hub 12.
  • the housing 50 has a plurality of keyways 52 adapted to receive a suitable detent 54.
  • the detent 54 in co-operation with the keyway 52 locks the housing 50 temporarily in place upon the hub 12.
  • the housing 50 may be rotated slightly about che axis of the needle 40 and retracted rearwardly as snown in FIGURE 3 until the needle has been removed from the exterior cannula 14. While the needle is in the advanced position illustrated in FIGURE 2, the throughbore 28 is substantially obstructed. However, when the needle 40 is retracted to the position illustrated in FIGURE 3, at least that portion of the throughbore 28 which is forward of the intersection of bore 34 with bore 28 is unobstructed. When unobstructed, the interior cannula 38 may be advanced from its withdrawn position shown in FIGURE 2 through the hollow of the exterior cannula 14 by digital manipulation. The cannula 38 defines a hollow passageway 56 which communicates openly with the female coupling 58.
  • the length of cannula 38 is selected to project beyond the leading end 18 of cannula 14 when the cannula 38 is fully advanced through the bore 34.
  • blood may be communicated through the passageway 56 of the interior cannula 38 by connecting a blood tubing to the female coupling 58. Because the cannula 38 will come in contact with the patient's blood, it may be desirable to maintain the sterility of the cannula 38. Accordingly, a suitable flexible packaging material 60 as schematically illustrated in broken lines in FIGURE 1, could be used. Conventional packaging material 60 which permits advancement of a catheter through a hub is known in the art and no further comment thereon is deemed necessary.
  • FIGURES 3 and 4 The method of using the cannula assembly embodiment of FIGURES 1 to 4 can best be understood by reference to FIGURES 3 and 4.
  • venipuncture is performed such that the exterior cannula 14 is inserted within a blood vessel to create a single fistula.
  • the housing 50 is rotated slightly and the needle withdrawn to the position illustrated in FIGURE 3.
  • the needle 40 may be completely withdrawn through the plug 26, the memory of the plug 26 preventing the blood from spilling out of the hub 12.
  • the interior cannula 38 may be advanced through the branch 32 until it projects a desired distance beyond the leading end 18 of the cannula 14.
  • cannulae 14 and 38 are co-extensive at least along the length of cannula 14 in the forward position of cannula 38.
  • the external diameter of the cannula 38 is sufficiently less than the internal diameter of the cannula 14 that blood will flow easily therebetween. Accordingly, blood may be aspirated in the passageway between the cannula 14 and the cannula 38, through the bore 28, the hollow of the needle 40, the needle hub 46 and through extracorporeal blood circuitry (not shown) connected at 62. After the blood has traversed an extracorporeal blood circuit, it may then be returned through the coupling 58 and the passageway 56 within the interior cannula 38.
  • blood may be withdrawn from and returned to the patient without creating an additional fistula and without otherwise modifying the structure of the cannula assembly 10.
  • the withdrawal and return of blood may occur simultaneously or serially, as desired.
  • the needle may be retained in the position illustrated in FIGURE 3, it has been found preferable to completely remove the needle 40 from the hub 12. Removal is easip accommodated by withdrawing the needle from the plug 28 manually squeezing the flexible sleeve 24 to prevent cutflow of blood, removing plug 26 and thereafter inserting the coupling 62 of the extracorporeal blood circuit directly into the sleeve 24. In this configuration, the risk that the needle may damage the interior cannula 38 or otherwise interfere with the flow of blood is eliminated.
  • the interior can-- nula 38 may be of any desirable length and will preferably project a substantial distance beyond the leading end 18 of the exterior cannula 14. Because the length of cannula 38 can be selected, any of a variety of distances between the leading tip 18 of cannula 14 and the leading tip of cannula 38 could be selected (see FIGURE 4).
  • FIGURE 5 a modification of the embodiment of FIGURES 1-4 is illustrated.
  • a female Luer fitting 66 has been substituted for the rubber plug 36 as shown in FIGURE 2.
  • the female Luer fitting receives a male coupling 68 in press-fit relation to permit return of blood from the extracorporeal blood circuit through the passageway 56 of the interior cannula 38.
  • a unidirectional check valve 70 is provided in the branch 32.
  • the check valve 70 is preferably made of a flexible rubber material through which the cannula 38 is easily passed in the forward direction.
  • the valve 70 is a leaflet or duck-bill type valve.
  • the cannula assembly 80 is intended to accomplish the same purpose as the assembly 10. More particularly, the assembly 80 comprises an exterier cannula 82 whicn is mounted at the forward end 84 of a cannula hub 86.
  • the exterior cannula 82 is forwardly tapered at 88 and defines an interior bore 90 (see FIGURE 8).
  • the bore 90 of the cannula 82 communicates directly with a recess 91 in the hub 86.
  • the recess 91 opens at the trailing end 94 of the hub 86.
  • Rubber sleeve 87 is nested within recess 91 and defines a throughbore 92 which tightly circumscribes needle 126 to form an air-tight seal as will hereinafter be more fully described.
  • An interior catheter or cannula 98 traverses the entire throughbore 92 and the bore 90 of exterior cannula 82 in fixed manner.
  • the leading end 100 of the cannula 98 projects substantially beyond the leading end 88 of cannula 82 as shown in both FIGURES 7 and 8 and a fluid flow path is provided between the two cannulae.
  • the trailing end of cannula 98 is mounted within coupling member 102, the coupling member 102 having a male Luer fitting 104 which is in direct alignment with the throughbore 92.
  • the interior cannula 98 is hollow and opens directly into the female Luer coupling 106.
  • the coupling member 102 is maintained in direct alignment and fixed spacial relationship with the hub 86 by a strut 108. It can be seen, therefore, that there is a discrete passageway from the leading tip 100 of the cannula 98 through the entire length of the cannula 98 to the coupling member 102.
  • the cannula nub 86 is bifurcated at 110 to form a rearwardly angled branch 112.
  • the branch 112 has a female Luer fitting 114 at its trailing end 116 into which a suitable coupling 120 from a conventional extracorporeal blood circuit is press-fit.
  • the branch 112 has a hollow interior 122 which communicated directly with the bore 90 of exterior cannula 82. Accordingly, a discrete passageway exists through the bore 90 and hollow 122 to the coupling 120.
  • a separate and discrete passageway exists through the hollow of interior cannula 98 to the trailing end of coupling member 102 and to a male coupling 124 press-fit therein.
  • a venipuncture needle 126 is provided.
  • the venipuncture needle 126 has a sharp beveled end 128 which, in the initial position illustrated in FIGURE 5, projects through the interior of cannula 82 and telescopically around and beyond cannula 98.
  • the needle 126 is reciprocably displaceable within the bore 92 of the sleeve 87.
  • the sleeve 87 forms an air-tight seal with needle 126 so that negative pressure within the hub 86 and branch 112 will not draw air around the needle 126 into the blood within the hub.
  • the trailing end 129 of the needle 126 is firmly mounted to a shuttle 130, the shuttle having a rearwardly facing female fitting 132 which is selectively press-fit upon the male fitting 104 of coupling member 102 as illustrated in FIGURE 8.
  • the location of the male fitting 104 and female fitting 132 could be reversed without adverse consequence.
  • This press-fit coupling minimises blood leakage around the needle 126 after venipuncture and forms an air seal for preventing air from entering the hub 86 when the interior of hub 86 is subjected to negative internal pressure.
  • the shuttle 130 may be manually displaced rearwardly and telescopically over the exposed portion of the interior cannula 98 until the shuttle 130 mates with the coupling member 102.
  • blood will freely flow between the cannulae 82 and 98, through the branch 112 and the extracorporeal blood circuit connected at 120.
  • blood may also flow through the hollow of the interior cannula 98 and through the coupling 124 to the extracorporeal blood circuit.
  • the length of the needle 126 and the strut 108 are selected so that when the shuttle 130 is in the rearmost position illustrated in FIGURES 7 and 8, the sharpened leading end 128 of the needle 126 will remain supported by the cannula hub 86 but be fully retracted out of the pathway 122 so as to avoid interfering with blood flow.
