Definitions
- the present invention is generally directed to a medication injection adaptor assembly for use with a needleless pharmaceutical syringe and, more particularly, to a universal female intradermal adapter having disposed therein a needle hub with a needle cannula projecting therefrom.
- Intradermal injections are used for delivering a variety of diagnostic and treatment compositions into a patient.
- Intradermal injections are typically injections of a relatively small amount of medicament into the dermis, the dermal layer or even into a lower portion of the epidermis of a patient's skin. Administering an intradermal injection can be difficult and generally requires an experienced nurse or medical professional.
- a preferred intradermal injection technique typically requires a healthcare professional to attach an adapter with a needle safety shield to the hub of the syringe prior to administration of the medication.
- the procedure for attaching the adapter exposes the healthcare professional to the additional risk of a needle stick prior to the injection of the medication.
- incorrect assembly of the intradermal injection device may lead to misalignment of the needle cannula in the adapter resulting in incorrect placement of the tip of a needle cannula at the injection site, which, in turn, may lead to a failed injection.
- the syringe is pushed distally in a longitudinal direction until the distal end of the syringe barrel contacts a latch attached to the adapter body and the forward tip of the needle cannula is enclosed in a conical section of the adapter having a needle opening.
- an axial force applied to the syringe barrel causes the latch to deflect extending the tip of the needle cannula through the needle opening.
- WO 201 1/01 1697 entitled “Intradermal Injection Device” discloses an intradermal adapter configured for side insertion of a syringe having a needle cannula projecting therefrom.
- the adapter includes a side opening that extends along an entire length of the adapter, generally parallel to the longitudinal axis.
- the side opening permits insertion of the syringe into the adapter such that the cannula is disposed in a cannula channel extending through a central portion of the adapter generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the adapter.
- the exposed tip of the cannula is spaced distally relative to the cannula channel edge of the adapter, and is generally fixed in this position in the assembled configuration.
- WO 201 1/01 1697 Figs. 1 1 and 12 disclose the general concept of longitudinally inserting a hub with a cannula projecting therefrom in an adapter, mounting the cannula thereto and attaching the proximal end portion of the body of the adapter to a needleless syringe using a conventional Luer connector.
- the manner in which the hub is attached to the adapter body is not disclosed. Further, the adapter body does not include a side opening for receipt of the syringe.
- a universal medication injection adaptor assembly attachable to a needleless syringe by a standardized Luer connector and having fixedly disposed therein a needle hub with a needle cannula projecting therefrom; thereby allowing a healthcare professional to provide a relatively simple and safe intradermal injection device, that is relatively easy to use.
- one embodiment of the present invention is directed to a universal medication injection adaptor assembly for use with a needleless pharmaceutical syringe having a syringe barrel with a syringe-barrel distal end terminating in a male Luer connector.
- the universal injection adaptor assembly comprises a generally cylindrical coupling having a coupling distal end and a coupling proximal end.
- a coupling cavity is provided in the coupling.
- the coupling cavity extends between the coupling distal end and the coupling proximal end.
- a cannula hub has a cannula-hub distal end and a cannula-hub proximal end.
- the cannula-hub distal end is disposed in the coupling cavity.
- the cannula-hub proximal end is configured as an exposed female Luer connector compatible with the male Luer connector of the syringe-barrel distal end.
- a mount is in the coupling cavity. The mount is configured to support the cannula- hub distal end thereon.
- An ultrasonic energy director is in the coupling cavity.
- a needie- cannula safety shield extends from the distal end of the coupling.
- a needle cannula has a needle-cannuia proximal end and a needie-cannula distal end. The needle-cannuia proximal end extends from the cannula-hub distal end.
- the needie-cannula safety shield at least partially surrounds the needle cannula.
- the needle-cannuia distal end terminates in an exposed needle tip.
- the cannula hub has a hub melting temperature and the ultrasonic energy director has an energy-director melting temperature.
- the hub melting temperature is less than the energy- director melting temperature.
- the ultrasonic energy director is embedded in the cannula-hub distal end fixedly attaching the cannula-hub distal end to the coupling.
