US Patent:
6949086, Sep 27, 2005
Filed:
Jun 11, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/459164
Inventors:
F. Mark Ferguson - Salt Lake City UT, US
Richard L. Fiser - Kirkwood MO, US
James R. Curtis - Deland FL, US
Charles V. Owen - Highland UT, US
David L. Thorne - Kaysville UT, US
Mark A. Nelson - Sandy UT, US
Roy L. Barrus - West Bountiful UT, US
Eugene E. Weilbacher - Chesterfield MO, US
Michael Thorne - Bountiful UT, US
Steven Brown - Roy UT, US
Donald Solomon - Ogden UT, US
Assignee:
Tyco Healthcare Group LP - Mansfield MA
International Classification:
A61M005/32
A61M005/00
US Classification:
604198, 604263, 600576
Abstract:
Medical needle shield apparatus for covering a needle after use. In embodiments of this invention a shield with two or more segments hingedly connected to each other is movable from a retracted position where the needle is exposed, to an extended position where the shield extends beyond the end of the needle. The needle is affixed in a hub of a medical needle device, and the shield is articulated to the hub. At least one of the two or more segments has an open orifice through which the needle passes to form an axis of intersection about the needle. The shield includes a channel for covering the needle when the shield is linearly extended. One or more locks associated with one or more of the segments secures one or more of the segments relative to the shield in the extended position.

Assignee:
Tyco Healthcare Group LP - Mansfield MA
International Classification:
A61M 5/32
US Classification:
604198, 604192
Abstract:
Medical needle shield apparatus for covering a needle after use. In embodiments of this invention a shield with two or more segments hingedly connected to each other is movable from a retracted position where the needle is exposed, to an extended position where the shield extends beyond the end of the needle. The needle is affixed in a hub of a medical needle device, and the shield is articulated to the hub. At least one of the two or more segments has an open orifice through which the needle passes to form an axis of intersection about the needle. The shield includes a channel for covering the needle when the shield is linearly extended. One or more locks associated with one or more of the segments secures one or more of the segments relative to the shield in the extended position. A latch is also disposed on the distal segment for securing the distal segment relative to the shield when in the extended position. The number of hingedly connected segments depends upon the needle length and device length required to extend the shield beyond the distal end of the needle.

US Patent:
7413562, Aug 19, 2008
Filed:
Dec 18, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/739868
Inventors:
F. Mark Ferguson - Salt Lake City UT, US
Donald D. Solomon - North Salt Lake UT, US
Roy L. Barrus - Centerville UT, US
Jeremy W. Snow - North Salt Lake UT, US
Assignee:
Specialized Health Products, Inc. - Salt Lake City UT
International Classification:
A61M 5/00
A61M 5/32
A61M 5/178
US Classification:
604263, 604198, 60416408
Abstract:
A medical needle shield apparatus is provided that includes a needle hub having a needle cannula extending therefrom. At least one shield is extensible from a retracted position to an extended position to enclose a distal end of the needle. The shield includes a binding member disposed within the shield and defines binding surfaces that form an aperture configured for slidable receipt of the inner needle. The binding member includes at least one drag inducing member that engages the inner needle during slidable receipt to create a drag force. The drag force facilitates rotation of the binding member such that the binding surfaces engage the inner needle to prevent slidable movement. The shield and/or hub includes a retention element engageable between the shield and hub and a sheath retention element. The hub includes a magnifier for viewing fluid flashback.

US Patent:
7438703, Oct 21, 2008
Filed:
Dec 6, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/016276
Inventors:
Roy L. Barrus - Centerville UT, US
David L. Thorne - Kaysville UT, US
Charles V. Owen - Highland UT, US

Assignee:
Tyco Healthcare Group LP - Mansfield MA
International Classification:
A61M 5/32
US Classification:
604192, 128919
Abstract:
A safety shield apparatus is disclosed which includes a needle having a distal portion defining a longitudinal axis which is angularly displaced relative to a longitudinal axis defined by a proximal portion of the needle. A shield is mounted with the needle and extensible, via a tubular needle guide movable along the needle, between a retracted position and an extended position. The apparatus may include a needle hub configured to support the proximal portion of the needle. The needle hub can include an appendage which may have at least one opening to facilitate manipulation thereof. A distal end of the shield can be attached to a planar contact surface. The shield may also include a latch engageable with the needle.
