SAFE NEEDLE DEVICE FOR SYRINGES

摘要

A self-retracting safety syringe has a hollow syringe body, a hollow needle having a point at its tip and a tip-lock at its base, a sleeve around the needle configured to sealingly retain the needle, a hollow plunger configured to engage the interior walls of the syringe body, the plunger having a tip sealingly engaged with the interior walls and having an aperture therein to accommodate the tip-lock, a collar circumferentially mounted on the interior wall of the plunger, a retractor for accepting and retaining the tip-lock, wherein the distal end is retained within the proximal end of the plunger by the collar, and a spring biasing the retractor against the collar, wherein the tip-lock and plunger join, and wherein the retractor is pushed past the collar and is adapted to pull the needle from within the sleeve into the hollow plunger.

主权项

1. A self-retracting safety syringe comprising:
a) a hollow syringe body configured to deliver fluids to a patient wherein the body has a proximal end through which the fluids pass and a distal end configured to receive a plunger; b) a hollow needle having a point at its tip and a tip-lock at its base, wherein the tip-lock comprises a male protrusion configured to engage with end of the plunger; c) a sleeve around the needle configured to sealingly retain the needle against the proximal end of the body; d) a hollow plunger configured to slide within the syringe body, the plunger having distal and proximal ends, the plunger comprising:
i) a tip sealingly engaged with the interior walls of the syringe body, the tip having an aperture therein adapted to accommodate the tip-lock;ii) a collar circumferentially mounted on the interior wall of the plunger;iii) a refractor having a proximal end in communication with the aperture, configured to accept and retain the tip-lock, and a distal end, retained within the proximal end of the plunger by the collar; andiv) a spring biasing the retractor against to collar towards the distal end of the plunger;wherein when the plunger tip pushes against the tip-lock, the tip-lock is retained by the retractor, and wherein the retractor is pushed over the collar wherein the retractor is biased into the distal end of the plunger by the spring and is adapted to pull the needle from within the sleeve into the hollow plunger.
