Definitions
- This invention relates generally to vascular access devices and methods, including catheter assemblies and devices used with catheter assemblies.
- vascular access devices are used for communicating fluid with the vascular system of patients.
- catheters are used for infusing fluid, such as normal saline solution, various medicaments, and total parenteral nutrition, into a patient, withdrawing blood from a patient, or monitoring various parameters of the patient's vascular system.
- IV catheter intravenous catheter
- an over-the-needle catheter is mounted over an introducer needle having a sharp distal tip. At least the inner surface of the distal portion of the catheter tightly engages the outer surface of the needle to prevent peelback of the catheter and thus facilitate insertion of the catheter into the blood vessel.
- the catheter and the introducer needle are assembled so that the distal tip of the introducer needle extends beyond the distal tip of the catheter with the bevel of the needle facing up away from the patient's skin.
- the catheter and introducer needle are generally inserted at a shallow angle through the patient's skin into a blood vessel.
- the clinician In order to verify proper placement of the needle and/or catheter in the blood vessel, the clinician generally confirms that there is "flashback" of blood in a flashback chamber of the catheter assembly. Once proper placement of the catheter into the blood vessel is confirmed, the clinician may apply pressure to the blood vessel by pressing down on the patient's skin over the blood vessel distal of the introducer needle and the catheter. This finger pressure occludes the vessel, minimizing further blood flow through the introducer needle and the catheter. [0004] The clinician may then withdraw the introducer needle from the catheter. The introducer needle may be withdrawn into a needle tip shield device that covers the needle tip and prevents accidental needle sticks.
- a needle shield in general, includes a housing, a sleeve, or other similar device that is designed such that when the needle is withdrawn from the patient, the needle tip will be trapped/captured within the needle tip shield.
- the purpose of these needle tip shield devices is to house the tip of the needle in a secure location, thereby avoiding the possibility of needle sticks after the needle and needle shield device are separated from the catheter, which is left in place to provide intravenous access to the patient.
- Various systems and methods are needed to provide needle tip shields that optimally secure to and separate from the remainder of a catheter assembly and provide adequate protection from the tip of a needle during and after needle use.
- An extravascular system for accessing the vasculature of a patient may include a catheter, a needle disposed within the catheter, and a needle tip shield assembly.
- the catheter may include a groove and/or other means of attaching to another vascular access device within the extravascular system.
- the needle may be disposed within the catheter.
- the needle tip shield assembly may include a needle cap, the needle cap may include a needle shield, and the needle shield may include a pawl.
- the pawl may be reinforced and engage with the groove or other means of attachment of the catheter to secure the needle tip shield to the catheter.
- the reinforced pawl avoids, limits, and/or minimizes premature separation from the groove.
- the needle shield may be a V-clip.
- the pawl may communicate with an extension on the needle shield by forming a bend between the pawl and the extension.
- the bend may include at least one dent, and the dent may be formed within the center of the bend.
- the bend may include a plurality of dents.
- the plurality of dents may be placed at various locations over the pawl width.
- the pawl may be folded back onto itself. Indeed, the pawl may be folded back on itself to form essentially a pawl of double thickness.
- the pawl may be constructed with a bend of various angles.
- the angle of the bend between the pawl and the extension may be less than 90°.
- the angle may be in the range of from about 90° and about 70°.
- the pawl may also include a corrugated design or structure.
- a method of engaging a vascular access device to another vascular access device within an extravascular system may include providing a catheter, providing a needle, and providing a needle tip shield assembly.
- the step of providing a catheter may include providing a catheter defining a groove or other means of attaching to another vascular access device.
- the step of providing a needle may include providing a needle disposed within the catheter.
- the step of providing a needle tip shield assembly may include providing a needle tip shield assembly having a needle cap where the needle cap may have a needle shield and the needle shield may have a pawl.
- the method may also include reinforcing the pawl, securing the needle tip shield to the catheter by engaging the pawl with the groove of the catheter, and/or avoiding premature separation of the pawl from the groove.
- the needle shield may be a V-clip.
- the method may also include providing an extension on the needle shield and forming a bend between the pawl and the extension.
- the method may also include denting the bend, forming at least one dent in the bend, denting the center of the bend, folding the pawl back onto itself, forming the bend between the pawl and the extension at an angle that is less than 90 degrees, such as in the range of from about 90 degrees to about 70 degrees, bending the pawl in a corrugated design, and/or forming the pawl into a corrugated design.
- An extravascular system for accessing the vasculature of a patient may include a catheter having a first means for engaging, a needle disposed within the catheter, and a needle tip shield assembly.
- the needle tip shield assembly may have a needle cap, the needle cap may have a needle shield, and the needle shield may have a second means for engaging.
- the second means for engaging may be reinforced and may engage with the first means for engaging to secure the needle tip shield to the catheter.
- the reinforced second means for engaging may avoid premature separation from the first means for engaging.

- Figure 10 is a bottom perspective view of a pawl folded back onto itself.
- FIG. 1 a perspective view illustrates an example of an extravascular system 10 of multiple extravascular systems.
- the extravascular system 10 includes a catheter assembly 12 and a needle assembly 20.
- the catheter assembly 12 includes a vascular access device, such as a catheter 14, partially housed within a catheter adapter 18.
- a protection cap 22 positioned above the catheter adapter 18. The protection cap 22 may cover an access port which provides access into the catheter 14.
- the extravascular system 10 also includes a needle assembly 20.
- the needle assembly includes a needle cap 24 and a needle hub 26.
- the needle cap 24 and the tether 36 may be adapted to fit at least substantially inside the needle hub 26 when the needle assembly 20 is in the pre- use configuration.
- the needle assembly 20 may include additional parts or components adapted to provide the needle assembly 20 with the desired functionality.
- the catheter assembly 12 may include additional or alternative parts and subcomponents depending on the configuration of the catheter assembly 12 and its intended usage.
- the needle cap 24 is configured such that it will contain the needle tip 28 when the needle 30 is removed from the catheter 14.
- the needle assembly 20 is securely attached to the catheter adapter 18 thereby providing for manipulation of the needle 30 and placement of the catheter 14 within the vasculature of a patient.
- the needle assembly 20 may include grips 32 which allow for more secure gripping of the needle assembly 20 and maneuvering of the needle 30.
- the extravascular system 10 is illustrated in an exploded view.
- the catheter assembly 12 includes a catheter 14 for placement within the vascular system of a patient.
- the catheter adapter 18 is configured such that the catheter 14 can be attached to further medical devices or tubing, such as for the administration of fluids to the patient.
- the illustrated catheter assembly 12 also includes a protection cap 22 which covers an access port which provides further access to the catheter 14.
- the needle assembly 20 in a position in which the needle cap 24 has been fully separated from the catheter adapter 18.
- the needle assembly 20 as illustrated includes grips 32 for use in retracting and manipulating the position of the needle 30.
- a tether 36 Extending between the needle cap 24 and the needle hub 26 is a tether 36.
- the length of the tether 36 is selected such that when the needle cap 24 is maximally deployed from the needle hub 26 and the needle tip 28 of needle 30 is securely housed within the needle cap 24, the tether 36 is fully extended thereby preventing a separation of the needle cap 24 from the needle hub 26. Additionally, when the tether 36 is fully extended needle cap 24 is unable to be removed from the needle tip 28 thereby ensuring that the needle tip 28 remains safely contained within the needle cap 24.
- the tether 36 may be folded in an accordion configuration, may be straight, or take any other desired configuration. [0033] As illustrated in Figure 2, the needle tip 28 is secured within the needle cap 24.
- the tether 36 is in the extended position between the needle cap 24 and the needle hub 26.
- the interior of the needle cap 24 also cooperates with structures on the needle (not shown) and the V-clip 58 to prevent the needle from moving forward out of the needle cap 24.
- the needle shield and/or V-clip 58 is illustrated in Figures 2 in a contracted form; also illustrated is the clip housing cover 60, both of which are described in further detail below. [0034] Referring now to Figures 3 and 4, an example of a shield 58 for use with a needle cap 24 within an extravascular system 10 is shown in perspective view.
- the shield 58 is a V-clip having a first arm 62 and a second arm 64.
- the first arm 62 includes an extension 66 forming a pawl 68 at the end of the extension 66.
- the first arm 62 and/or the second arm 64 may also include a needle tip shield flap 70 capable of halting the advancement of the needle tip 28 after the V-clip 58 is engaged.
- the shield flap 70 is used to prevent the reemergence of the sharp needle tip 28 from the needle cap 24 after the needle 30 has been shielded by the cap 24.
- the pawl 68 is formed of a metal that is bent at a primarily 90 degree bend from the extension 66. However, the pawl 68 may be bent at any other desired angle. For example, bends in the range of from about 90 degrees to about 70 degrees are presently preferred.
- the pawl 68 on the V-clip 58 serves to engage a crescent-shaped groove 72 on the catheter adapter 18 (see Figure 5A). The pawl 68 engages the groove 72 to prevent the needle cap 24 from separating from the catheter adapter 18 until the needle 30 is withdrawn far enough to activate the V-clip 58.
- Figure 5B illustrates a pawl 68 being separated from the groove 72.
- the pawl 68 must be of sufficient strength to avoid any bending, movement, shifting, or other action that would cause the V-clip 58 to separate from the catheter adapter 18 before the needle 30 has advanced far enough to activate or engage the V-clip 58.
- Various features and methods may be used to strengthen the pawl 68 and its relationship to the extension 66. Further, depending on the environment of vascular access devices and features thereof in which a pawl 68 is used, the pawl 68 may need to meet certain design requirements including size, shape, orientation, materials, and other features that would require additional pawl 68 strength.
- a pawl 68 with a thinner material will increase the likelihood that the pawl 68 will decouple from the groove 72.
- one or more features may be included to strengthen the pawl 68.
- Such a feature may, for example, include decreasing the space between the V-clip housing cover 60 and the extension 66 so that the pawl 68 cannot rise to a height capable of disengaging the groove 72 (see Figure 5B).
- Such feature may additionally or alternatively, for example, include a dent in the bend from the extension 66 or V-clip arm to the pawl 68.
- the pawl 68 of the V-clip 58 is shown having a dent 76 formed within the bend 78 between the pawl 68 and the extension 66.
- the bend 78 increases pawl 68 strength and prevents the pawl 68 from bending when separation force is placed between the pawl 68 and the groove 72, thus increasing the premature separation force required.
- a dent 76 in the bend 78 a higher premature separation force is required, thus ensuring that the needle cap 24 does not separate prematurely from the catheter adapter 18 and thereby expose the clinician to an unprotected needle tip 28.
- the V-clip illustrated in Figure 6 has a single dent 76.
- any number or configuration of dents 76 may be included and positioned at any desired location over the width of the pawl 68.
- the extension 66 also includes a bend 80 along the length of the extension 66 to provide increased rigidity to the extension 66. Increased rigidity in the extension 66 will also help the pawl 68 avoid raising within the groove 72, resulting in premature decoupling.
- a bottom view of the pawl 68 reveals the underside of the dent 76 formed within the bend 78 between the pawl 68 and the extension 66 on the first arm.
- the dent 76 may be altered, supported, and/or replaced by any other feature capable of strengthening the bend 78 between the pawl 68 and the extension 66.
- Such alteration, replacement, or optimization may include modifying the parameters of depth, length, width, number of dents, and orientation of dents and/or other features.
- a pawl 68 may fold back onto itself (see Figure 10 and discussion below).
- a pawl 68 may fold in a direction towards the extension
- a pawl 68 with a corrugated design may also result in the same strength increase seen with the dent 76.
- Such a corrugated design may provide equivalent strength as multiple dents being formed within the bend 78.
- the corrugated shape may also provide a "spring” action keeping the needle cap 24 firmly in place in relation to the catheter hub 18. Finally, the corrugated shape helps prevent the risk of the pawl being stopped by burrs and sharp edges in the groove during opening of the V-clip 58.
- the bending strength of the pawl 68 is increased. This increase in bending strength of the pawl 68 is accomplished by lowering the point of bending to the end of the dent 76 or other feature (such as a brace). By lowering or otherwise moving the point of bending to the end of the dent 76 or other feature, a higher resistance to bending is created in the dented region.
- the location, length, shape, and/or size of the pawl 68 may be increased and/or decreased in order to adjust the premature separation force between the pawl 68 and the groove 72.
- the dent 76 may preferably be placed in the center of the bend 78 to avoid torsional bending of the pawl 68 under stress.
- the pawl 68 and/or its surrounding environment may also be modified in order to adjust the amount of play between the groove 72 of the catheter adapter 18 and the environment within the needle cap 24, to ensure that there is minimum play between the needle cap 24 and the catheter adapter 18 (such as the space shown in Figure 5B between the extension 66 and the housing cover). By minimizing play, the premature separation force between the groove 72 and the pawl 68 will be maximized.
- the length or width of the portion of the pawl 68 which comes into contact with structure within or near the groove 72 is also important in controlling the premature separation force between the groove 72 and the pawl 68.
- a pawl 68 may be folded back onto itself.
- the pawl 68 may be folded back on itself to form essentially a pawl 68 of double thickness.
- the pawl 68 of Figure 10 may be accomplished by creating a template for a pawl that is twice the desired length of the final pawl 68 so that when the extended pawl is folded back onto itself a pawl 68 of double thickness is created and the pawl 68 is of a desired final length.
