But notwithstanding the age of this art, there still exist numerous drawbacks. The common hypodermic needle takes the form of a slender tubular member having a sharp tip for piercing the skin and tissue of the patient. And one very serious drawback of this commonly used needle is that when the needle cuts through the tissue, there is the danger that damage may result by entering blood vessels or puncturing nerves.
One important improvement to the conventional needle has recently been developed. And this improvement is the subject of US. Pat. No. 3,530,492 disclosing an apparatus for administering a hypodermic injection. With such apparatus, the skin of the patient is punctured with a smallsharp pointed piercing member. Then a long blunt end delivery tube frictionally associated with the piercing member, moves through the tissue of the patient when the frictional forces between the piercing member and delivery tube are overcome.
In this recently developed needle, the delivery tube has an outside diameter in the region of the blunt end portion which is slightly larger than the diameter of the remainder of its shank portion. This is necessitated by the requirement that the piercing member frictionally engage the blunt end portion of the delivery tube. In operation, the piercing member is insertedinto the pa tient until a limiting collar abuts the patients skin.
Then, upon the application of additional force, the frictional engagement between the piercing member and delivery tube is released, and the delivery tube is free to slide into the tissue of the patient.
The drawback of this needle is a result of the necessary friction engagement between the piercing member and delivery tube. For at the moment the frictional force between the piercing member and the delivery tube has been overcome, with the operator still applying pressure on the syringe, the delivery tube thrusts forward into the tissue of the patient. The operator has no positive control over the pressure needed for overcoming the frictional engagement, and hence it is possible that an excessive pressure can be applied to the needle. Then, even notwithstanding the blunt end of the delivery tube, there could still result serious damage to tissue, blood vessels, nerves and even 'bone.
Further, another disadvantage with this prior art hypodermic needle is that the necessary shape of the delivery tube requires a mechanically difficult manufacturing technique. The delivery tube of US. Pat. No. 3,530,492 requires the manufacture of an enlarged blunt end integral with a reduced diameter shank portion.
It is toward the elimination of these drawbacks of the prior art that the present invention is directed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for safely injecting fluid into a patient. The skin surface of the patient is punctured with a sharp piercing member, and injection depth is accomplished by the insertion of a blunt end delivery tube having at least one opening in the region of its blunt end. Theoperator has positive control over the inventive hypodermic needle at all times, and can releasethe delivery tube for smooth penetration into the tissue of the patient at will.
The hypodermic injection apparatus of the present invention includes a sharp, preferably metallic, pointed member for piercing the skin of the patient. A collar is mounted on the end of the piercing member, remote from the sharp end, and serves to limit penetration into the patients tissue. An elongated delivery tube defines a coaxial frictionless mount for the piercing member, and serves to deliver fluids to the patient. The delivery tube is of the same diameter over its entire length. and has, at its blunt end, at least one opening at its surface. At its other end, there is provided an integral hub to facilitate mounting on a conventional'syringe.
As the elongated delivery tube of the present inven tion is of a constant diameter over its entire length, manufacturing costs are substantially lower than those involved in manufacturing needles according to the referenced prior art.
In the apparatus of the present invention, the sharp pointed piercing member is connected with the hub of the delivery tube through a preferably plastic fingeroperated collapsible bar. This bar is at one end integrally secured to the collar of the piercing member, and at the other end similarly secured to the hub of the delivery tube. At the center of the bar is a groove to facilitate the collapse of the finger-operated bar when released by the operator.
As the combination of the hub, bar and collar are conveniently molded in one piece plastic, the inventive apparatus can be manufactured easily and at low cost. This permits economical disposal of the unit after one use.
Due to the fact that the sharp pointed piercing memher is slidably mounted about the elongated delivery tube is a substantially frictionless manner the operator maintains full control over the unit. The release of the delivery tube from the piercing member is accomplished at the will of the operator and requires the exertion of no special forces by the operator. Hence, the operator can carefully and accurately perform the injection procedure, thus minimizing the risk of injury to soft tissue, blood vessels, nerves and bone.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a cross section showing the manner in which the inventive hypodermic needle is inserted into the DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS With reference first to FIGS. 1 and 2, the basic construction of the inventive hypodermic needle will be described. The inventive, needle unit is shown generally at 10, and comprises a sharp pointed piercing member 12 mounted on a hollow elongated delivery tube 14. The front end of the piercing member 12 is provided with a sharp point 16, and the rear end is provided with a limiting collar 18. The piercing member 12 is slidably mounted on the elongated delivery tube 14, in a substantially frictionless manner.
The elongated delivery tube 14 is of a uniform diame ter over its entire length, has a blunt nose 20, and has at least one opening 22 in its surface. At its end remote from the blunt nose 20, the delivery. tube 14 is provided with a firmly mounted hub 22, adapted to associate with a conventional hypodermic syringe 24. And as can best be seen in FIG. 1, the hub 22 is internally threaded so as to mate with the externally threaded nose of the syringe 24.
In FIGS. 1 and 2, it is shown that the collar 18 and the hub 22 are made integral through the means of a collapsible bar 26. At the center of bar 26 is a groove 28 separating the bar into front and rear elements 30 and 32 respectively.
As indicated in the figures, the hub 22, the collapsible bar 26 and the collar 18 of the piercing member are integral and of a plastic material. The piercing element of member 12 is metallic and is fixed in the collar 18. The delivery tube 14 is also shown to be metallic, and is similarly force fit into hub 22.
The operation of the inventive hypodermic needle will now be described. Initially, the member 12 is injected into the skin 34 of the patient until further penetration is prevented by the collar 18. The finger 36 of the operator exerts a continuous but slight force on the bar 26 and in the direction of arrow 38, until the collar 18 abuts the skin surface 34. When collar 18 abuts the skin surface 34, the operator removes his finger, thereby releasing the collapsible bar 26, but continues to exert force on the syringe 24 in the direction of arrow 40. Then the collapsible bar 26 folds, as shown in FIG. 2, and the delivery tube 14 is slowly and accurately moved through the tissue of the patient. Finally, the fluid housed in the syringe is injected into the patient through the openings 22.
As is shown in the figures, there are a plurality of openings 22 provided along the length of hollow delivery tube 14. In this manner, a relatively uniform dispersion of fluid can be ensured. Also, the figures illustrate an integral molded plastic unit comprising hub 22, bar
26 and collar 18. It should be understood, however,
that such specific descriptions are provided for illustrative purposes only. It is the intention that the invention be interpreted in its broadest sense, as relating to an apparatus and a method for safely administering an injection with positive control by the operator and hence without danger to the integrity of vessels, nerves and bone, and be limited only as defined in the appended claims.
