  • Sheets-Sheet 2 .1 SEPARABLE CATHETER INSERTION DEVICE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention relates to medical devices for subcutaneous introduction of fluids into a patient, and more specifically to a catheter and insertion device therefor. These devices are generally used for intravenous infusion, however, they also can be used for infusion or withdrawal of fluids into or from other regions of the body. Hereafter, for purposes of simplicity, the devices will be referred to in relation to intravenous infusion.
  • Catheters of the general type disclosed herein are available commercially and have been disclosed in the prior art. For example, self-contained catheters and insertion devices therefor are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,000,380; 3,010,453; 3,017,884, and 3,055,361. This general type of catheter was developed for usage where administration of fluids to a patient had to be either continuous or where such administration was intermit tent over a prolonged period.
  • intravenous or other infusion of fluid into a patient was accomplished by means of a sterile needle.
  • This needle was utilized to puncture the skin and vein of a patient.
  • the needle was then taped to the surface of the skin.
  • a conduit coupled to a source of intravenous fluid for example, a syringe or gravity bottle type infusion fluid source, was then connected to the needle.
  • a source of intravenous fluid for example, a syringe or gravity bottle type infusion fluid source
  • the prior art flexible catheters for infusion of fluids into the veins of patients generally include a hollow needle and a fairly long flexible hollow cannula, the catheter.
  • One end of the catheter usually has'a coupling means or mechanism thereon, for example of the: luer type, for connection to a source of infusion liquid.
  • the other end of the catheter is slidably disposed within the bore of the hollow needle.
  • the hollow needle is then inserted into a vein of a patient.
  • the catheter is pushed through the hollow portion of the needle into the vein.
  • the needle is then removed leaving the catheter protruding from the body of the patient.
  • the needle, catheter and coupling means can be completely enclosed in a sterile package which is unopened until the time it is to be used with a patient.
  • the materials utilized can be sufficiently economic to render such devices disposable after use.
  • the chances of contamination or the spreading of infection is substantially lessened compared to the reusable type injection devices which must be resterilized after every 4 of larger diameter than the needle bore, as above explained. Since the needle cannot be removed, it is continuously present on the catheter outside the patients body. In the past, the presence of the needle has been troublesome due to its bulkiness and to the fact that the patients skin can easily be accidentally punctured by the needle point.
  • a sleeve which is slidably inserted around the needle prior to its insertion into the patients arm is disclosed.
  • the sleeve is positioned on the portion of the needle which remains exterior to the patients body. After the catheter has been inserted and the needle withdrawn from the patient, the sleeve is moved toward the pointed end of the needle to cover it. Frictional contact between the portion of the sleeve not extending beyond the pointed end of the needle retains the sleeve on the needle.
  • the pressure member of the device disclosed in the above-mentioned patent must also be held down with one finger of the hand inserting the catheter insertion needle into a patient in order to seize thecatheter. It is important that the pressure member seize or contact the catheter I to prevent the catheter from sliding longitudinally backwardly in the needle while it is being inserted. It is most desirable to maintain the forward end of the catheter near the pointed tip of the insertion needle while the two are being initially inserted into a patients .body
  • the present invention therefore, solves the foregoing problems while incorporating .the' desirable attributes of a disposable catheter insertion device.
  • the subcutaneous catheter insertion device of the presentinvention comprises.
