摘要:
A shipping container (101,201) integrates a sharps disposal container with a new product storage container for shipping. The storage container (141,241) stores new product. A sharps disposal container (121,221) receives used sharps. One of the storage container and the sharps disposal container is disposed within the other of the storage container and the sharps disposal container for shipping. A lid is adapted to be connected to the outermost container of the sharps disposal container and the storage container for shipping and to a top of the sharps disposal container for receiving used sharps.
摘要:
A medical implement is provided with a hub (60) and a piercing element (40) that projects distally from the hub. A protective cap (52) is removably engaged with the proximal end of the hub. An IV shield (50) is threadedly engaged with the distal end of the hub and protectively covers the piercing element (40). A hinged shield (140) is hingedly mounted to the hub and can be rotated from a first position substantially adjacent the IV shield to a second position where the hinged shield is spaced rotationally from the IV shield and finally to a third position where the hinged shield encloses the piercing element. The hinged shield must be rotated from the first position to the second position to threadedly disengage the IV shield and to expose the piercing element for use. After use, the hinged shield is rotated from the second position into the third position for protectively enclosing the piercing element.

摘要:
An intradermal delivery device (10) for delivery a substance into the skin of a patient has a fluid chamber (28) for containing the substance, at least one micro skin penetrating member (74), and a valve (16) controlling the flow of the substance from the fluid chamber to the micro skin penetrating member. An adhesive (84) releasably attaches the device to the skin of the patient, the fluid chamber can be sized to hold a unit dose of the substance, and, in some embodiments, the fluid chamber can be releasably coupled to a housing of the device.

The present invention is directed to a shieldable needle device. The shieldable needle device includes a housing, a needle cannula, a tip guard and an elongated flexibly resilient drive mechanism. The housing includes a longitudinal slot that extends along a wall of the housing. The drive mechanism is bent within the housing and includes a first end which extends through the longitudinal slot and a second end which is anchored to the tip guard. Upon movement of the first end along the longitudinal slot, the second end extends and moves the tip guard from a retracted position to an extended position thereby protectively surrounding a tip of the needle cannula.

A safety needle device (6) includes a housing including a passageway with a needle cannula (7) extending therefrom. A shielding member (15) is movable between a first position in which a puncture tip of the needle cannula is exposed therefrom and a second position in which the puncture tip of the needle cannula is encompassed therein. The shielding member is maintained in the first position against a biasing force (9) which biases the shielding member toward the second position. A fluid and/or temperature activation material (57), such as a hydrogel or a compressed sponge, is associated with the shielding member and is adapted to deform upon contact with a fluid medium and/or a certain temperature or temperature range. Fluid flowing through the needle cannula, such as blood flow during a blood collection procedure, causes the activation material to deform, such as through expansion, thereby releasing the shielding member from the first position and allowing the drive member to bias the shielding member toward the second position.
