Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for handling injection needles and in particular attaching and detaching of such needles in a safe way.
- a secure handling of needles has become a very important topic because of the health hazards with used needles, which may transmit infections from patient to hospital staff. Also for devices for self administration, such as pen injectors and the like handled by the patients themselves, it is important that no one can become injured by accidental needle sticks.
- a very large number of devices have been developed in order to obtain safe handling of such needles such as holders adapted to fit and grip a needle before and/or after its use, means for discarding used needles, needle shields that are attached to the delivery device and which surrounds the needle after injection in a shielding and possibly locking manner.
- One area where needles have to be handled and replaced is multi-dose injectors for delivering several doses before the injector is discarded. After each injection the needle is removed and before each injection a new needle is attached.
- the device comprises a needle unit comprising a needle arranged in a sleeve.
- the unit is arranged in a needle cover.
- the housing In order to attach the needle on a syringe or a cartridge, the housing is pushed over a connection piece whereby two inwardly directed protrusions fit into a groove and holds the sleeve.
- the needle shield may then be pushed off. After injection the needle shield is pushed onto the sleeve but in a different rotational position in relation to this whereby protrusions on the outside of the sleeve are pressed against the inside of the needle cover. This leads to that the inwardly directed protrusions are pushed out of the groove due to elastic deformation and the needle unit can be removed from the syringe or cartridge.
- needle units have an "inner” needle sheath which fits rather tightly around the needle or a needle hub and is often made of a rather thin and resilient material.
- the needle and the inner sheath is then positioned in an outer cover of a more rigid material, which cover together with a tear-off sealing foil keeps the needle sterile until use.
- the outer cover could be used in the same manner as the above described needle shield for attaching the needle unit to a delivery device.
- the outer cover is removed the patient or the operator has to remove the inner sheath by hand, whereby there is a risk for accidental needle sticks. Also many users feel a discomfort in having their hands in the vicinity of the needle.
- the needle may penetrate the sheath when the sheath is returned onto the needle after use. It may also penetrate the outer cap if that is used for removing the needle. Hence a risk for accidental needle sticks is obvious.
- the aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned problems in connection with needle handling.
- a device for handling injection needles especially in relation to injectors, comprising grip means for gripping, removing and retaining a sheath surrounding a needle attached to an injector device, guide means for guiding the sheath back onto the needle after completed injection, means for removing said needle from said injector device and activation means capable of acting on the grip means for removing said needle from said device.
- said grip means comprises radially displaceable tongues and means capable of displacing the tongues radially inwards when the device is pushed onto the needle/ sheath.
- said displacing means comprises a housing surrounding said tongues and being slidable in relation to the longitudinal direction of the tongues, and in inclined surfaces on the inside of the sleeve and outside of the tongues, wherein when the tongues slide in relation to the housing they are forced radially inwards in order to grip the sheath.
- the device comprises lock means capable of locking the tongues in the grip position in relation to the housing.
- the guide means comprises inclined surfaces sloping inwards towards a centre line between the tongues.
- said needle removing means comprises contact means capable of co acting with corresponding contact means arranged on an outer surface of an attachment part of the needle unit arranged on an inner surface of the housing, wherein, when in contact, the contact means of the housing is capable of removing said needle unit from the injector.
- the invention comprises actuating means capable of releasing said lock means and acting on the grip means for releasing and discarding said needle/ sheath from the device.
- the present device preferably is adapted to be able to remove the needle unit from the cartridge and the like from the injector after the sheath is inserted onto the needle.
- the needle unit can then be discarded from the device where the needle is protected by the surrounding sheath, and thrown into a suitable container, depending on local legislation preferably a container for health hazardous items.
- the device is then ready to be used again.
- the device of the present invention is intended to be used a large number of times, as compared to the conventional devices which are used only once for removing a needle unit from an injector after completed injection.
- the device is thus safe as regards handling of an injection needle as well as being environmentally friendly regarding the multiple uses.

- DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Fig. 1 and 3 show side views of the device 10. It comprises an outer substantially cylindrical housing 12 acting as a grip, with a front end 16, to the left in the figures, having a smooth surface, and a rear end 18, which is widened in order to provide a grip. The function of the rear and front ends will be explained below.
- the inner surface of the housing 12 is arranged with four longitudinally extending ribs 20, where two are shown in Fig. 3, arranged equally spaced around the inner circumference.
- the front ends of the ribs 20 are arranged with sloping surfaces 22.
- the inner ends each of the ribs are further arranged with a ledge 26.
- Protrusions 27 are arranged inside the housing at the rear part, Fig. 6.
- a grip means 28 is slidably arranged. It comprises a front part of a generally cylindrical shape divided in four arms 30 by four grooves 32.
- the front end of each arm 30 is arranged with inwardly directed protrusions 34, outwardly directed protrusion 36 and a sloping transition 38, and the front end of each arm 30 has somewhat inwards sloping surfaces 40.
- the inwardly directed protrusions 34 are preferably arranged with sharp, triangularly shaped edges 37.
- Some of arms 30 are also provided with outwardly directed ledges 42, Fig. 5, that fit into cut-outs 44, limiting the axial movement of the grip means in relation to the housing.
- the rear part of the grip means 28 is arranged with four rearwardly extending arms 46, Fig. 5, where each arm is arranged with outwardly directed protrusions or hooks 48 having a sloping surface 50 in the rearward direction and a ledge 52 in the forward direction.
- a dividing wall 51 is arranged, having a central opening 53, Fig. 5.
- an actuating means 54 in the embodiment a push button, is arranged comprising an outer cylindrical part 56 with an end wall 58 somewhat protruding out of the rear part of the housing.
- the cylindrical part is arranged with grooves, the position of which corresponds to the position of the protrusions 27 of the inner surface of the housing.
- a number of tongues 60, Fig. 5, extend into the corresponding grooves, where the end of each tongue is arranged with inwardly extending ledges 62.
- the number and positions of the tongues 60 correspond to the number and positions of the arms 46 of the grip means 28.
- a spring 64 is arranged between the inner surface of the end wall 58 and the dividing wall 51.
- a guide means 66 is attached to the end wall 58 and runs inside the spring 64.
- a needle unit 70 is mounted onto a delivery device such as an auto injector 72, Fig. 10, e.g. by screwing it onto the threaded front part 74 of the medicament cartridge 76, by using the outer cover 78 that the needle unit is delivered in, and which outer cover keeps the needle sterile together with a tear-away foil.
- a delivery device such as an auto injector 72, Fig. 10, e.g. by screwing it onto the threaded front part 74 of the medicament cartridge 76, by using the outer cover 78 that the needle unit is delivered in, and which outer cover keeps the needle sterile together with a tear-away foil.
- the inner sheath 80 now has to be removed from the needle.
- the device according to the invention is now used by pushing the front part of the housing onto the needle and sheath, Fig. 12, where the grip means 28 is in its forward position, Figs. 2-6.
- the sloping surfaces 40 of the front ends of the arms 30 aid in guiding the sheath inside the grip means.
- the front end 16 of the housing 12 is preferably arranged with a recess 70 corresponding to the attachment part of the needle unit and when the device is pushed fully onto the needle/sheath the attachment part or needle hub 72, Fig. 12, is arranged in the recess.
- the needle hub 72 of the needle unit pushes against the front ends of the grip means, thereby pushing it into the housing against the force of the spring 64.
- This movement causes the sloping surfaces 22 of the ribs 20 to act on the sloping surfaces 38 of the arms 30, thereby pressing them radially inwards, Fig. 8.
- the rearward movement of the grip means 28 also causes the outwardly directed protrusions 48 of the arms 46 to move past the ledges 62 of the actuating means, whereby the arms 46 flex inwardly and the protrusions 48 lock with the ledges 62, Fig. 9.
- the grip means 28 is now locked axially in relation to the housing 12 and the sheath is locked between the arms of the grip means.
- the device 10 is now removed, bringing the sheath with it off the needle, and the injector is ready for an injection, Fig 13.
- the front end 16 of the device is adapted such that the smooth outer surface of the front end has a diameter somewhat smaller than the inner diameter of the needle shield 90 of the injector. This further aids in guiding the device onto the needle/ sheath so that the proper position is obtained between the sheath and the arms of the grip means. Should the needle however penetrate the sheath, there is no risk for injury for the patient or person handling the device, since the needle is well confined within the housing of the device.
- the front end 16 of the device 10 is again directed onto the needle whereby the sheath is pushed onto the needle, Fig. 14.
- a needle shield 90 is provided on the injector, this is in its extended position after injection, thereby surrounding the needle, the front part 16 of the device is guided by the needle shield, and when the device pushes the needle shield into the injector, the proper position between the grip means/ sheath and the needle is ensured.
- the device is pushed until the attachment part of the needle unit is positioned inside the recess 70 of the front part, Fig. 15.
- the outer surface of the needle hub 72 of the needle unit is arranged with protrusions, normally longitudinally extending ribs, intended to be used as grip means for manually screwing on and off the needle unit from the cartridge, and the inner surface of the recess 70 is arranged with corresponding mating recesses in order to obtain a rotational lock between the attachment part and the housing.
- the user can now unscrew the needle unit from the cartridge by turning the device and pulling, thereby removing the needle unit from the injector, Fig. 16. There could of course also be a frictional lock between the needle unit and the device.
- the user presses the end wall 58 of the actuator means 54 inside the housing 12.
- the sloping surfaces 50 of the rearwardly extending arms 46 will then come in contact with lower end 94 of the cylindrical part 56, fig. 8, forcing the arms 46 to move radially inwards until the protrusions 48 loose contact with the ledges 62 and the end surfaces of the grooves of the cylindrical part abuts the protrusions 27 of the housing.
- the pushing force from the user and freeing of the arms in combination with the force of the spring 64 causes the grip means 28 to be pushed forward rather quickly, whereby the needle unit is be "ejected" out of the device and into a proper receptacle for storage. If the force of the spring for some reason is insufficient, further pressing of the actuator means will cause an inner edge 102, Fig. 8, to act on an upper surface 104 of the rearwardly extending arms 50, thus ensuring that the needle is pushed out of the device.
- a new needle unit can now be attached to the injector in the same manner as described above. It is thus possible to use the device several times to remove a needle unit onto one or several injection devices. It is to be understood that the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings are to be regarded as non-limiting examples of the present invention and that it may be modified within the scope of the claims.
- FIG. 17 A variant of the described device is shown in Fig. 17, where the housing is adapted to remove a needle unit from an injection device where the needle shield is locked in the extended position, which is often the case after an injection in order to protect the user or other persons from unintentional needle sticks.
- the front end of the housing is arranged with a section 112 having a first diameter, which is somewhat smaller than the inner diameter of the needle shield, followed by a section 114 having a diameter more or less corresponding to the inner diameter of the needle shield.
- the needle unit has been described with threads for engaging with the cartridge, it could be provided with other attachment means, wherein the device according to the present invention could be provided with corresponding contact means capable of removing the needle unit. It is also conceivable that the grip means is arranged and designed such that any gripping action of the sheath is obtained. Further the actuating means could also be a sliding button, lever or any other mechanical activating member.
