Definitions

  • Lancet devices are used for taking blood samples by projecting a needle rapidly and momentarily out of the casing so as to prick the skin of a patient.
  • the device needs to have some means of causing the needle to be returned into the casing after it has served its purpose and there is usually a drive spring which, when released, drives the needle forwards, overshooting its static position. It then returns to this position to drive the needle back in the casing. It is an object of this invention to provide spring return means for the lancet which is relatively cheap to manufacture and simple to install, and which removes the need for locating the return spring at the casing and lancet.
  • a lancet comprising a body having a drive head at one end and a projecting needle at the other end, the body having integral webs projecting down both sides towards the location of the tip of the projecting needle, the webs being of undulating form and of a flexible material so as to act as spring members.
  • undulating webs as spring members, the webs can be moulded at the same time as the body of the lancet, thus saving on both manufacturing and assembly time as there is no separate return spring device which needs to be attached.
  • the undulations of the two webs may be out of phase with one another.
  • the lancet is ideally provided with a removable protective cap which is situated over the exposed end of the needle.
  • the cap could be linked to the free ends of the webs by breakable connecting parts.
  • the invention also extends to a lancet holder comprising a casing housing a lancet of this invention as hereinbefore defined, and having a drive spring positioned between an end of the housing and the drive head of the lancet.
  • a release structure for the lancet can be provided in the form of the drive head of the lancet incorporating a flange resting against a moveable rib of the casing, together with a flexible button on the casing which is movable to release the rib from the flange to enable the drive spring to drive the lancet forwards.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a lancet holder of this invention
  • Figure 2 illustrates the lancet holder of Figure 1 in an opened condition
  • Figure 3 is an illustration of a lancet as is enclosed within the holder of
  • the lancet holder shown in Figure 1 comprises an outer casing 1 from which projects an operating button 2. At the other end, the head 3 of a protective cap projects. As can be seen from Figure 2, the cap has an extending shaft 4 which covers and protects the tip of a needle 5 of a lancet 6 (see Figure
  • the head 3 of the cap can be twisted to release it from engagement with flanges 7 at the end of the casing 1 , enabling the cap to be pulled free of the needle 5 on the end of the lancet 6, when the device is to be used.
  • the lancet 6 is primed by a spring 8, but is held within the casing 1 by a rib 9 forming part of the casing 1 resting against a flange 10 on the lancet 6.
  • webs 11 on the operating button 2 will move further inwardly of the casing 1 when the button 2 is pressed, and will move the rib 9 (which is resiliently attached to the casing 1) away from the flange 10, thus releasing the lancet 6.
  • the lancet is now driven forwardly by the coil spring 8 to cause the needle 5 to project through an opening 12 in the end of the casing 1.
  • the needle With the casing 1 held against the skin of a patient (prior to operation of the button 2), the needle will then penetrate the skin to enable a small blood sample to be taken.
  • the needle only projects momentarily and then is withdrawn automatically into the housing 1. This is usually partly by a bounce-back of the spring 8.
  • a spring arrangement 13 positively pushes the lancet back into the casing. This spring arrangement is created by a pair of undulating plastic webs 14 formed integrally with the lancet
  • guide ribs 16 are formed within both halves of the casing 1 to guide the lancet whilst it is being driven by the spring 8.
  • the two halves of the casing 1 are integrally moulded to incorporate flexible hinges 17.
