Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to protective devices for used medical needles to prevent inadvertent user contact with such needles.
- the protective devices
- needle protectors of the present invention may be incorporated into a disposable plastic tubing and container set used in the collection and processing of a biological fluid such as blood.
- Needles are used in a wide variety of procedures in the medical field.
- needles are commonly used to administer fluids, such as intravenous solution, medication, blood components and the like to patients, as well as to withdraw fluids, such as blood or other fluids from patients or donors.
- One very common application for needles is in collecting blood from a donor. Withdrawing blood from a donor typically involves inserting a needle into the donor's vein and withdrawing blood from the donor through the needle and associated plastic tubing into a collection bag or blood processing device.
- the needle, tubing and containers make up a blood processing set which is disposed of after a single use.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,833,670 discloses a sheath adapted to be slidably supported on the tubing of the disposable processing set.
- the sheath is open at its distal and proximal ends with the tubing extending through the open ends of the protective sheath. After collection, the sheath is slidably moved over the needle and/or the needle is completely retracted within the sheath.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,772,638 discloses a needle protector having slotted side walls (to receive a winged needle) and an end wall.
- the protector is slidably mounted on the tubing of the disposable processing set. As the protector is slidably moved forward over the needle (and the needle is withdrawn into the protector) the end wall causes the needle and the hub to be held m the sheath m an acute angle to the top wall with the needle tip positioned against the underside of the top wall .
- the present invention is generally directed to a needle protector having an elongated housing that has a distal end and a proximal end.
- the housing defines a needle- receiving compartment that restricts unintentional contact with the needle.
- the housing further includes an opening at each of the proximal and distal ends and is adapted to receive a needle through the opening at the distal end.
- the housing includes a portion that is depressable to a substantially fixed position to capture a needle within the housing.
- the needle protector may include a depressable top wall hingedly attached to the housing at the proximal end.
- the needle protector may include at least a pair of facing side walls. The side walls may be adapted to maintain the top wall in the depressed position.
- the needle protector may include a detent extending from the interior surface of at least one of the walls, such as the top wall, to immobilize the retracted needle .
- the present invention is also directed to a needle and a needle protector assembly.
- the assembly includes a needle mounted on a hub and a length of tubing having one end attached to the hub, the tubing defining a flow path for a biological fluid.
- the assembly further includes a housing having a distal end and a proximal end.
- the housing defines a needle-receiving compartment that restricts unintentional contact with the needle.
- the housing may also include an opening at each of the proximal and distal ends.
- the length of tubing extends through at least the opening at the proximal end and allows for movement of the housing and tubing relative to one another.
- the housing includes a portion that is depressable to a substantially fixed position to capture a needle within the housing .

- the needle protector of the present invention will be described below m the context of its preferred use, namely, as a needle protector for a needle that is part of a disposable tubing and container set intended for the collection and processing of blood.
- the needle protector of the present invention is not limited to use with a disposable tubing and container set or even to use m the medical field.
- the needle protector of the present invention may be used in any other application where a needle that is attached to a length of tubing is employed.
- needle refers to any elongated member having a sharpened tip for puncturing or piercing.
- the term “needle” is not limited to traditional venipuncture needles which are typically made of stainless steel and are relatively small m diameter.
- the term “needle” includes such venipuncture needles, it also includes piercing members made from other materials, such as plastic, and includes cannulas, coupling devices and the like.
- Fig. 1 shows a disposable tubing and container set 10, which is particularly suitable for use m the processing of blood from a donor 11.
- the illustrated disposable set 10 may include a needle such as venipuncture needle 12, and a plastic tubing segment 16 attached to needle 12 and extending from needle 12 to a plastic, blood collection container 18.
- the disposable blood processing set 10 may include a single blood collection container 18, or more commonly, as shown in Fig. 1, may include a primary container and additional, integrally attached containers 20 and 22, as is well Known m the field.
- primary container 18 receives whole bloo ⁇ from donor 11 through tubing 16 and needle 12.
- Container 18 typically includes a suitable anticoagulant such as citrate phosphate dextrose (CPD) , citrate phosphate dextrose adenme (CPDA) or acid citrate dextrose (ACD)
- CPD citrate phosphate dextrose
- CPDA citrate phosphate dextrose adenme
- ACD acid citrate dextrose
- Containers 20 and 22 may be attached to primary container 18 by integrally attached transfer tubing 24 and 26.
- Containers 20 and 22 are provided to receive blood components such as, but not limited to, red blood cells and plasma that have been separated from whole blood.
- the methods and disposable sets for practicing such methods are well known and will not be discussed here. They are, however, described in U.S. Patent Nos . 4,222,379 and 5,445,629, which are incorporated by reference herein.
- Disposable processing set 10 may also include an integrally attached sampling system 28.
- Sampling system 28 includes a sampling pouch 30, a frangible connector 34 and a tube holder 32 for receiving a sampling vial.
- a sampling system 28 of the type shown m Fig. 1 (and the method of sampling) is described in co-pending U.S Application Serial No. 09/364,628, filed July 29, 1999 which is also incorporated by reference herein
- blood processing set 10 also includes a needle protector 40 embodying the present invention.
- the needle protector 40 of the present invention includes, m general, an elongated housing 42. Housing 42 has a distal end 44 and a proximal end 46. Housing 42 further includes an opening 48 at the distal end 44 and an opening 50 at proximal end 46. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the tubing segment 16 extends through the open ends 48 and 50 of housing 42. A needle 12 mounted on hub 13 is attached to tubing 16 Needle 12 may be enclosed within cover 15 which is removed at the time of use.
- housing 42 is defined by side walls 52 and 54, top wall 56, and bottom wall 58 to provide a needle-receiving compartment. As shown in Fig. 2 and 3, side walls 52 and 54 may include flanges 53 at the distal end 44 of housing 42
- housing 42 may be defined by top wall 56 and a continuous, arcuate wall that extends from one side of top wall 56 to the other side.
- housing 42 may be defined by a top wall and two side walls to provide, for example, a needle-receiving compartment with a substantially triangular cross-section.
- Housing 42 may be made by casting, injection molding or other techniques known to those of skill m the art. Housing 42 may be made of any material suitably rigid and puncture resistant and suitable for use m the medical field. For example, housing 42 may be made of any thermoplastic material that can be sterilized by known sterilization techniques including, but not limited to autoclavmg, gamma radiation, or an electron beam radiation. Housing 42 may be made (by, for example, molding) of a polyolefin material, such as, most preferably, polypropylene. Other suitable materials may include polyethylene, such as high density polyethylene, polyacetal and polycarbonate. It will be understood that the housing may also be made of blends of two or more materials, including the materials identified above.
- housing 40 includes gripping surfaces m the form of raised ribs 60 and 62 on the outer surfaces of side walls 52 and 54, and on the outer surface of the top wall 56. Gripping surfaces 60, 62 and 64 may be formed during the molding process in ways that will be understood by those of skill in the art. Where housing includes bottom wall 58, sucn wall 58 may have a substantially smooth exterior surface.
- top wall 56 is hinged to the housing at proximal end 46.
- Hinge 66 may be a section of top wall 56 which has a reduced thickness relative to the remainder of top wall 56.
- top wall 56 (or any other wall housing 42) may have a thickness of approximately 1.0 to 1.5 mm
- the thickness of hinge 66 may be approximately 0.2 to 0.4 mm.
- Top wall 56 may be attached to housing 42 at distal end 44 by frangible tabs or webs 70.
- frangible tabs or webs 70 By depressing distal end 44 and top wall 56, frangible tabs or webs 70 may be broken and, as more specifically shown by the broken lines in Fig. 6, top wall 56 may be depressed to a location between side walls 52 and 54 and over a needle retracted within housing 42.
- tabs or webs 70 are thin sections of plastic, molded with housing 42. Also, in the event that needle 12 becomes inadvertently fully retracted and captured within housing 42 prior to its use, breakable tabs allow top wall 56 to be released from housing 42 and permit withdrawal of needle 12 for its intended use. Thus, an unused needle and needle protector assembly or unused disposable processing set where needle 12 is fully retracted would still be usable.
- the needle protector may be slidably moved over tubing 16 and over needle 12 and hub 13.
- Needle 12 with needle hub 13 may be either partially or completely retracted within the housing 42 through distal opening 48.
- Fig. 4 shows the needle in a partially retracted position.
- needle 12 is inserted into the donor's vein such that rib 13a on hub 13 is turned away from the donor's arm, as shown in Fig. 4.
- hub may be rotated 90° (in either direction) or 180° relative to the position shown m Fig. 4. It is also not uncommon for the nurse or technician to rotate housing 42 relative to the needle 12 and hub 13.
- distal opening 48 should have a height and width sufficient to receive needle 12 and hub 13 regardless of whether hub 13 is retracted in its typical orientation or any of the above described orientations.
- opening 48 may be wider near the top wall and, preferably, tapers to a narrower width near bottom wall 58. A gradual, tapered transition from greater to smaller width of opening 48 is preferred to allow for easier depression of top wall 56, as described below.
- distal opening 48 near bottom wall 58 should be at least as wide and, preferably slightly wider, than the widest portion of hub 13 which is designated by reference numeral 13x m, for example, Fig. 4.
- Needle 12 with needle hub 13 may be completely retracted within housing 42 as shown in Figs. 5 and 6.
- Housing 42 allows for capture of needle 12 within the protector and for further shielding the retracted needle 12 from the outside environment.
- needle 12 (with hub 13) may be fully retracted and more permanently captured by the needle protector.
- top wall 56 may include a detent 74 which depends from the inner surface of top wall 56.
- side walls 52, 54 and bottom wall 58 may also include detents or the like for retaining hub 13.
- housing 42 is longer than the needle and hub so that distal end 44 of housing is spaced far enough beyond the needle end to prevent inadvertent contact with the technician or other medical personnel .
- top wall 56 may be depressed and "locked” over retracted needle 12.
- tabs or webs 70 may be broken to allow depression of top wall 56.
- top wall 56 may be maintained and locked m this position.
- housing 42 may include means for capturing top wall and retaining top wall 56 m the depressed and locked position.
- the capturing means may be bumps or protrusions 76 on the interior surfaces of side walls 52 and 54, as shown in Fig. 7.
- the protrusions 76 may be formed during the molding process or may be separately attached to the interior wall surfaces.
- needle protector 40 of the present invention is part of a disposable tubing and container set such as the set shown m Fig. 1 and described m detail m U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 09/364,628, filed July 29, 1999 which has been incorporated by reference.
- housing 42 with the needle 12 disposed therein may be placed inside a tube holder 32 for disposal with the entire disposable set. Housing 42 may be inserted into open tube holder 32, distal end 44 first.
- Housing 42 is advanced through the open holder so that the distal end 44 exits through the opposite open end of holder 32. Removal of housing 42 from holder 32 is, in large part, prevented by flanges 53 which extend beyond the side walls 32a of holder 32 as shown in Figs. 10 and 11. In other words, distal end 44 (and, more particularly, flanges 53) of housing 42 is held by the side walls 32a of the holder.
