Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to an crgonomic needle grip for a medical device. More particularly, the needle grip is especially adapted for use with needle hub assemblies that may be used in conjunction with intravenous catheters.
- the catheter In order to properly place medical devices such as intravenous (“IV") catheters into a patient, the catheter is typically mounted over an introducer needle having a sharp distal tip. The distal tip of the needle preferably extends past the distal tip of the catheter.
- the catheter and introducer needle are inserted at a shallow angle through the patient's skin into a vein.
- the clinician confirms that there is a flashback of blood in a flashback chamber incorporated into the needle hub assembly in order to verify proper placement of the catheter in the vein.
- the clinician withdraws the needle, leaving the catheter in place for use in accordance with standard medical technique. It is common for clinicians to use varying techniques for inserting a catheter into a patient.
- a ported catheter typically includes a radially extending side port integral with the catheter adapter. (See for example the catheter disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,098,405). Ported catheters are commonly used in Europe.
- the clinician typically grasps the assembly by placing the thumb on a grip plate, one finger on the side port of the catheter adapter, and another finger on a front edge of a catheter hub wing. Alternatively, the clinician may grasp the assembly by placing the thumb on the grip plate and the forefinger or middle finger on the side port of the catheter adapter.
- a straight catheter does not include a side port for connection to a fluid handling device.
- the fluid handling device is instead connected to the proximal end of the catheter adapter.
- Such straight catheters are typically used in the United States. With a straight catheter, the clinician typically grasps the assembly by placing the thumb and forefinger or middle finger of one hand on either side of the needle hub.
- the present invention is a catheter assembly with an ergonomic needle grip attached to a needle hub of the catheter assembly.
- the needle grip comprises a grip plate attached to and extending radially from an outer surface of the needle hub.
- the grip plate forms an obtuse angle with an axis extending longitudinally along a centerline of a needle, wherein the angle is measured from a point on the axis near a proximal end of the needle hub.
- a flashback chamber of the catheter assembly located near the proximal end of the needle hub is visible when a digit is placed on the grip plate.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a catheter assembly of the present invention prior to insertion.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the catheter assembly of the present invention after insertion.
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a needle grip of the present invention attached to a needle hub.
- FIG. 4 is a side view of the catheter assembly of the present invention showing a first method of grasping the needle grip.
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the catheter assembly of the present invention showing a second method of grasping the needle grip.
- FIG. 6a is a side view of the needle grip of the present invention with a grip plate at a first angle.
- FIG. 66 is a side view of the needle grip of the present invention with the grip plate at a second angle.
- FIG. 6c is a side view of the needle grip of the present invention with the grip plate at a third angle.
- FIG. 7 is an alternative embodiment of the present invention with a support rib removed from the needle grip.
- FIG. 8 is another alternative embodiment of the present invention with a First side grip and a second side grip removed from the needle grip.
- FlG. 9 is a perspective view of the needle hub of the present invention detached from the catheter assembly.
- FIG. 1 is a representative embodiment of catheter assembly 10 prior to placement in a vein.
- Catheter assembly 10 includes needle 12 with needle tip 12a, catheter adapter 14, and needle hub 16 with needle grip 18. The distal end of catheter assembly 10 is generally toward needle tip 12a and the proximal end is generally toward needle hub 16.
- FIG. 2 shows catheter assembly 10 after placement into a vein.
- FIG. 2 includes tip shield 20 with housing 20a and tether 22.
- Catheter adapter 14 includes catheter 24, wings 26, injection port 28, and notch 30 with luer lock member 30a.
- Needle hub 16 includes flashback chamber 32 and flow control plug 34.
- needle 12 of the assembled catheter assembly 10 shown in FIG. 1 is inserted at an angle through the patient's skin into a vein. Placement of needle 12 with catheter 24 in a vein is verified by confirming that there is a flashback of blood in flashback chamber 32. Once confirmed, pressure is applied to the vein distal of needle 12 by pressing down on the patient's skin. This pressure occludes or at least minimizes further blood flow through needle 12 and catheter 24. Needle 12 is then withdrawn from catheter 24 by pulling needle hub 16 in a proximal direction from catheter adapter 14 leaving catheter 24 in place in the patient's vein.
- tip shield 20 As needle 12 is withdrawn from catheter 24, needle hub 16 pulls away in a proximal direction from tip shield 20. As this occurs, tether 22 unfolds to extend between tip shield 20 and needle hub 16. When needle tip 12a is withdrawn into tip shield 20, tip shield
- tip shield 20 disengages from catheter adapter 14. At this point, tip shield 20 now covers needle tip 12a to prevent accidental needle sticks.
- the length of tether 22 is such that when fully extended, tip shield 20 encompasses needle tip 12a. Tether 22 prevents tip shield 20 from falling off needle tip 12a. The clinician is then able to discard needle 12.
- tip shield 20 shown and described in reference to FIG. 2 is only one possible embodiment of a tip shield that may be used in catheter assembly 10.
- a tip shield may be designed without incorporating a tether.
- tip shield 20 of catheter assembly 10 Prior to insertion of catheter 24 into the patient, tip shield 20 of catheter assembly 10 is encased by needle hub 16.
- One benefit of such a design is to minimize the risk of early withdrawal of needle 12 from catheter 24.
- tip shield 20 within needle hub 16 minimizes the possibility that the clinician's grasp on catheter assembly 10 will cause a premature separation of needle hub 16 from tip shield 20, thereby causing needle 12 to withdraw.
- the risk of separating needle hub 16 from tip shield 20 and causing, for example, tether 22 to tear is also minimized.
- catheter adapter 14 also includes wings 26 and port 28.
- Wings 26 provide an anchor for catheter 24 upon insertion into the patient. Wings 26 are large enough to allow taping or other means of attachment to secure catheter adapter 14 to the patient so that once catheter 24 is inserted, it does not move or withdraw from the patient's body unintentionally.
- Port 28 provides an input to catheter adapter 14 and allows connection to such things as medicine or fluids to catheter 24.
- wings 26 function to reduce pressure on the patient when injecting the patient with a fluid through injection port 28.
- FIG. 3 is a detailed perspective view of needle grip 18.
- Needle grip 18 includes grip plate 36, support rib 38, first side grip 40, and second side grip 42.
- support rib 38 is attached on one end to grip plate 36, and on a second end to outer surface 44 of needle hub 16.
- the purpose of support rib 38 is to reinforce grip plate 36 and to provide additional stiffness so that when the clinician's thumb is positioned on grip plate 36 and a force is supplied onto grip plate 36 by the thumb during insertion, grip plate 36 will not bend.
- catheter assembly 10 is a ported catheter.
- Clinicians who are accustomed to inserting ported catheters will generally grasp catheter assembly 10 by grip plate 36, injection port 28, and a front edge of one of wings 26 while inserting catheter 24 into a patient.
- This insertion technique is shown in FIG. 4.
- clinicians may grasp catheter assembly 10 by grip plate 36 and injection port 28.
- clinicians who are accustomed to inserting straight catheters will generally grasp catheter assembly 10 by first side grip 40 and second side grip 42.
- needle grip 18 of the present invention is adapted to accommodate either insertion technique.
- FIG. 4 is a side view of catheter assembly 10 showing a "ported catheter” technique for grasping needle grip 18.
- angle A is formed between catheter 24 and skin surface S.
- Angle A is generally small in value so that catheter 24 is almost parallel with skin surface S.
- the clinician grasps catheter assembly 10 by placing thumb T on the proximal side of grip plate 36, forefinger F on the distal side of injection port 28, and middle finger M on the distal side of one of wings 26.
- Grip plate 36 is angled toward the distal end of catheter assembly 10, thereby providing an angled thumb position. Because grip plate 36 is distally inclined relative to needle 12, thumb T is in a more comfortable, ergonomic position during the insertion of needle 12 and catheter 24 into the patient. Even a slight angled thumb position is beneficial.
- the angled thumb position provides a secure grip on grip plate 36 not only when angle A is small, but also when catheter assembly 10 is rotated to various angles A.
- Some clinicians prefer to begin the insertion process so that angle A has a value close to 90 degrees. But, even with that technique, once the clinician inserts needle 12 and catheter 24 into the patient's vein, the clinician typically rotates catheter assembly 10 down such that angle A gradually decreases until catheter 24 is almost parallel with skin surface S. Thus, whether angle A is large or small to begin with, angle A will typically end up small in value such that catheter 24 is almost parallel with skin surface S.
- the angled grip plate 36 of the present invention provides a comfortable, secure, and ergonomic grip for the clinician.
- distance D is measured from a distal side of injection port 28 to an upper edge of grip plate 36. Since forefinger F and thumb T are typically placed on injection port 28 and grip plate 36, respectively, distance D represents an optimized distance between the clinician's forefinger F and thumb T that reduces muscular stress during insertion of needle 12 and catheter 24. Thus, in addition to angled grip plate 36, distance D between injection port 28 and grip plate 36 also provides a comfortable, secure, and ergonomic grip for the clinician. In a preferred embodiment, distance D is about 27 millimeters. However, distance D may have a value within a range of about 17 millimeters to 37 millimeters without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of catheter assembly 10 showing a "straight catheter" technique for grasping needle grip 18.
- the clinician typically places a thumb on first side grip 40 and a forefinger of the same hand on second side grip 42, or vice versa.
- the clinician is utilizing an increased gripping surface provided by needle grip 18 by placing the forefinger against both grip plate 36 and second side grip 42.
- grip plate 36, first side grip 40, and second side grip 42 provide a comfortable, ergonomic, and secure gripping surface for the clinician.
- FIG. 6a is a side view of needle grip 18 of the present invention with grip plate 36 at first preferred angle X.
- angle X is formed between grip plate 36 and axis 46 extending longitudinally along a centerline of needle 12. Angle X is measured from a point on axis 46 near the proximal end of needle hub 16. In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 6a, angle X is 105 degrees.
- FIG. 6b is a side view of needle grip 18 of the present invention with grip plate 36 at second preferred angle Y.
- angle Y is formed between grip plate 36 and axis 46 extending longitudinally along the centerline of needle 12.
- Angle Y is measured from a point on axis 46 near the proximal end of needle hub 16. In this embodiment, angle Y is slightly over 90 degrees.
- the clinician's thumb is placed on grip plate 36.
- needle 12 is almost parallel to skin surface S (FIG. 4).
- Second angle Y is smaller than angle X, but positioning grip plate 36 at angle Y still provides comfort and a secure grip.
- FIG. 6c is a side view of needle grip 18 of the present invention with grip plate 36 at third preferred angle Z.
- angle Z is formed between grip plate 36 and axis 46 extending longitudinally along the centerline of needle 12.
- Angle Z is measured from a point on axis 46 near the proximal end of needle hub 16. In this embodiment, angle Z is 120 degrees.
- FIG. 7 is a side view of an alternative embodiment of the present invention with support rib 38 removed from needle grip 18. It should be understood that while support rib 38 is not required, it does provide additional reinforcement and is generally advantageous when a grip plate material lacks sufficient stiffness.
- first side grip 40 and second side grip 42 extend up first side 48 and second side 50 (not shown) of grip plate 36.
- second side grip 42 is positioned directly opposite first side grip 40 and is therefore not visible.
- First side grip 40 and second side grip 42 are mirror images of each other in the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the foregoing discussion with respect to first side grip 40 applies in the same manner to second side grip 42.
- First side grip 40 couples with first side 48 of grip plate 36, together creating a firm and ergonomic grip surface with a large surface area for insertion or removal of needle 12 and catheter 24.
- flashback chamber 32 is located near the proximal end of needle hub 16, a digit of the clinician placed upon grip plate 36, first side grip 40, or second side grip 42 during insertion of needle 12 and catheter 24 into the patient does not interfere with the visual indication of blood in flashback chamber 32 (which indicates proper insertion into the vein).
- Grip plate 36 further includes lip 52 located on the outer end of grip plate 36.
- lip 52 on grip plate 36 helps to prevent the clinician's thumb from slipping off of grip plate 36 during insertion or removal.
- first side grip 40 and second side grip 42 both contain a plurality of ridges 54 located on outer surface 56 of first side grip 40 and outer surface 58 of second side grip 42 (not shown). Ridges 54 serve multiple purposes, including but not limited to a visual signal where to grip catheter assembly 10, and a feature to help prevent the clinician's thumb and other fingers from slipping off of first side grip 40 and second side grip 42 during insertion or removal.
- FIG. 8 is a side view of another alternative embodiment of the present invention with first side grip 40 and second side grip 42 removed from needle grip 18.
- the clinician typically grasps catheter assembly 10 by grip plate 36 and injection port 28, or alternatively by opposing sides of needle hub 16.
- FIG. 9 is a perspective view of needle hub 16 of the present invention detached from catheter assembly 10. Note that the view shown in FIG.
- Second side grip 42 couples with second side 50 of grip plate 36 to create a firm, continuous, and ergonomic grip surface for insertion or removal of needle 12. Specifically, second side 50 of grip plate 36 flows into and attaches directly to second side grip 42, thereby increasing the total gripping surface for the clinician.
- First side grip 40 couples with first side 48 of grip plate 36 in the exact same manner to increase the total gripping surface on the side of needle hub 16 to which first side grip 40 is attached.
- the shaded area in FIG. 9 represents an example of an increased gripping surface G created by second side grip 42 and second side 50 of grip plate 36. This increased gripping surface results from the fact that second side grip 42 flows into and extends up second side 50 of grip plate 36, thereby creating one continuous surface for the clinician's finger or thumb.
- Needle hub 16 further comprises inner hub surface 60 and inner hub surface 62.
- Inner hub surface 62 is not visible in FIG. 9, but it is located behind outer surface 58 of second side grip 42 and mirrors inner hub surface 60.
- Inner hub surfaces 60 and 62 extend longitudinally along an interior of needle hub 16.
- inner hub surfaces 60 and 62 couple with housing 20a of tip shield 20 to form an anti-rotation feature.
- the anti- rotation feature is configured to ensure grip stability of catheter assembly 10 during use by the clinician.
- inner hub surfaces 60 and 62 are configured to receive a pair of protrusions extending along housing 20a such that tip shield 20 is unable to rotate when encased by needle hub 16. Since needle hub 16 is unable to rotate relative to tip shield 20 during insertion or removal of catheter 24 and needle 12, catheter assembly 10 provides a stable, secure grip for the clinician.
- grip plate 36, first side grip 40, and second side grip 42 are all formed from a clear material.
- a preferred clear material for creating these components of needle grip 18 is polypropylene.
- various other plastics, both clear and opaque, may be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
- the present invention provides a catheter assembly with an ergonomic needle grip that enables the clinician to grasp the catheter assembly securely, and that further allows for varying insertion and removal techniques.
- the design of the present invention includes a grip plate attached to and extending radially from an outer surface of a needle hub of the catheter assembly.
- the grip plate forms an obtuse angle with an axis extending longitudinally along a centerline of a needle attached to the needle hub, thereby providing a comfortable, secure, and ergonomic gripping surface, as well as increased visibility of a flashback chamber in the needle hub.
