Description

COMBINATION STERILE PAD SUPPORT AND LANCET CONTAINING LANCET DISPOSAL ELEMENT
, This is an improvement on my invention entitled "Combination i Sterile Pad Support and Lancet" , U.S. Patent No. 4 , 635 , 633 , which
'I issued on January 13 , 1987.
*
Finger-stick blood sampling is practiced for a variety of purposes including use by diabetics who must test themselves for stat glucose levels up to four times a day in order to determine whether or not they should self-administer insulin, as well as for many different types of diagnostic tests which are conducted in physician's offices or in hospitals, as well as finger-stick cholesterol blood screenings at such places as shopping malls, drug and grocery stores.
Applicant's invention as set forth in U.S. Patent No. 4,635,633 is ideally suited for this purpose since the antiseptic pad and the lancet are contained in a single cheap disposable combination unit with the pad being used to disinfect the end of the finger and the lancet being used to stick the finger to draw blood. The pad may also be held on the stick site firmly thus aiding the blood clotting time after the drop of blood has been removed.
Today, because of various high-risk, life-threatening diseases that are prevalent throughout the world, extreme caution must be taken to protect the end user as well as others who may come in contact with disposable lancet needles.
At the present time there are two methods used in disposing of lancets of the type shown in U.S. Patent No. 4,€35,633. The first method is to use the round protective cap which was originally removed from the lancet and had been molded as part of the original lancet and attempt to insert the contaminated needle back into this plastic piece. This is very difficult to do because the round plastic part is small, the hole in it is even smaller, and the needle can slip away into the person who is attempting to accomplish this, who might very well be someone other than the person into whose finger the needle had been inserted. The other method in use is to discard the contaminated needle after use in some large container or trash receptacle with no protective cover on the needle. This is extremely dangerous because if the primary user does not immediately discard the lancet it becomes exposed to others who may not know of its status. Even if the lancet is disposed of in a general purpose trash container it exposes potential nonusers to the lancet sharp ■end with the attendant risks associated therewith if the lancet sharp end had been inserted into someone having a contagious life-threatening disease.
Furthermore, there is legislation pending in some jurisdictions to require that the lancet point be fully protected upon disposal in the case of certain institutional uses.
This invention is directed to a cheap, disposable combination sterile pad support and lancet which may be used to disinfect the end of the finger area and then used to stick the finger to draw blood and the pad may also be held on the stick site firmly thus aiding the blood clotting time after the drop of blood has been removed. After the lancet has been used it can be inverted and reinserted into the cylinder in which it had been originally held, which cylinder is provided with means in the interior thereof to grip the lancet and hold it in place and seal the used needle from exposure to anyone else.
Furthermore, the length of the lancet and the positioning of the lancet in respect to the cylinder which had held it can be such that there will no portion of the lancet extending beyond the cylinder end upon reinsertion therein so as to prevent anyone from removing it. It is therefore an object of this inventiβn to provide a small compact sterile pad support in combination with a protected sterile lancet.
It is an additional object of this invention to provide a device wherein the lancet when used may be reinserted into a support base and firmly held therein.
It is another object of this invention to provide such a device in which the lancet cannot be easily removed upon reinsertion.
These, together with other objects and advantages of the invention will become more readily apparent to those skilled in the art when the following general statements and descriptions are read in the light of the appended drawings.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the combination sterile pad support and lancet.
Fig. 2 is the same perspective view with the cover on the lancet removed.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the combination sterile pad support and lancet shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the combination sterile pad support and lancet with the lancet in inverted position after having been used.
Fig. 5 is an end view of Fig. 3 with the protective cover on the sterile pad removed.
Fig. 6 shows the use of the device in preparing the site for the stick procedure and also showing the use of the device after the blood has been removed to aid in blood clotting.
Fig. 7 shows the lancet being inserted in the stick site on an individual's finger. Referring now more particularly to Fig. *! the support member 10 is shown provided with a plurality of depressed finger engaging portions 11-11 providing a good grip for the user. Inserted in support member 10 and frictionally held therein is a lancet 12 such as that shown in U.S. Patent No. 3,358,689, Biggins. Lancet 12 is provided with a protective cover 13 and a heat sealable foil 14 covers the base of the support member 10 thus preventing the antiseptic and the antiseptic impregnated absorbent pad in support member 10 from evaporating.
Referring now more particularly to Fig. 2, the protective cover 13 has been removed revealing the pointed end 15 of the lancet 12.
Referring now more particular to Fig. 3, the antiseptic impregnated absorbent pad 16 is shown held in place by the reverse bevel portion 17 of the recessed portion of support member 10 but other mechanical or adhesive fasteners can also be used. The pad 16 is of a size so that it will adequately clean and fit the end of a person's finger. The heat sealable foil 14 is heat sealed to the base of support member 10 around the periphery of the base thus preventing the antiseptic in pad 16 from evaporating and may be readily removed by peeling it off when the user is ready to prepare the site of the finger stick. The support member 10 is preferably made from injected low density polystyrene.
The lancet 12 is supported in cylinder 18 by means of an annular ring 19 which may be made as an integral portion of the support member 10 leaving a lower unused open portion 20 of the cylinder 18, the end of which is provided with a centrally positioned depression 21 of a size adapted to receive the pointed end 15 of the lancet 12 after use. Referring now more particularly to Fig. ι , the support member 10 is shown with the lance' 12 reinserted therein following usage. It will be noted th* the ring 19 is of such a size that the lancet 12 will deform as it is passed over it and thus will be gripped and sealed in place in the cylinder 18 with the pointed end 15 of the lancet 12 sealed from exposure to anyone else. Preferably the lancet 12 is of a length so that when it has been reinserted into the cylinder 18 with the pointed end 15 in the depression 21, the end of the lancet 12 opposite to the pointed end will be flush with the top of support member 10 thus making it virtually impossible for the lancet 12 to be removed from the support member 10, and ensuring that no one else will come in contact with the used lancet's pointed end 15.
Referring now more particularly to Fig. 5, the end view of support member 10 is shown with foil 14 removed exposing the antiseptic impregnated absorbent pad 16. The pad 16 is of a size so that it will adequately clean and fit the end of a person's finger.
Referring now more particularly to Fig. 6, the combination sterile pad and lancet is shown with the foil cover removed and with the antiseptic impregnated pad 16 in contact with the finger end thus disinfecting the area which will receive the lancet. The protective cover 13 is then twisted off and discarded leaving the sharp pointed end 15 of the lancet 12 exposed and the position of the device is reversed as shown in Fig. 7 so that the sharp pointed end 15 of the lancet 12 may be inserted in the finger or the lancet 12 may be removed from the support member 10 and used in conjunction with a mechanical device to puncture the skin. After the drop of blood has been removed the support member 10 may be placed with the pad 16 in firm contact with the stick site as in Fig. 6, thus aiding the blood clotting time. Preferably, before doing this the lancet 12 may be inserted into the cylinder 18 c support member 10 and pushed nerein so that it achieves the position shown in Fig. 4 thus ensuring that the lancet tip will not come in contact with anyone else.
While this invention has been described in its preferred embodiment, it is to be appreciated that variations therefrom may be made without departing from the true scope and spirit of the* invention.
