Elastomeric infusion pump

摘要

A rugged elastomeric infusion pump capable of storing sterile fluids under pressure for intravenous medical use within an elastomeric bladder, wherein said elastomeric bladder is surrounded by a rugged outer shell having a proximal and distal parts with respect to the elastomeric bladder, said distal part comprising one or more of a flow regulator, a modulator, and a flow meter for regulating, smoothing, and measuring the flow of fluids effused from the elastomeric bladder, wherein said rugged proximal parts are capable of absorbing impacts to minimize the force imparted to the elastomeric infusion pump.

1. A rugged elastomeric infusion pump, suitable for containing a sterile fluid under pressure which is suitable for administration to a patient, the infusion pump comprising:
a. an elastomeric bladder capable of retaining the sterile fluid at a pressure, said elastomeric bladder capable of providing sustained consistent pressure for delivery of the fluid; b. a rugged outer shell surrounding the elastomeric bladder, and an inner proximal and distal housing; said rugged outer shell having a proximal part with respect to the elastomeric bladder, and a distal part with respect to the elastomeric bladder; c. wherein disposed between the rugged outer shell and the inner proximal and distal housing is a shock absorbing material sandwiched there between; and wherein said elastomeric bladder is positioned inside of the rugged outer shell, the shock absorbing material and the inner proximal and distal housing.
