Appl. No.:

11/557496

Inventors:

James Gerard Perez - Bonita CA, US

International Classification:

A61M 5/32

US Classification:

604197, 604116, 60416501, 604178, 604180, 604181, 604182, 604183, 604184, 604187, 604227, 604268

Abstract:

A catheter syringe conveyor with a needle guard housing is adapted to facilitate the insertion of a catheter into a targeted blood vessel. A catheter syringe is slidably situated within a hand-held housing structure; a syringe holder that is slidably connected to the housing allows a technician to maneuver the catheter syringe up and down within the housing. At least one stabilizer finger is attached to the bottom of the housing. After a blood vessel is penetrated by the needle of the catheter syringe, the technician maneuvers a catheter pusher to lower the catheter off of the needle and into the blood vessel. After the catheter is inserted, the technician is able to slide the catheter syringe back up within the housing to move the needle within the protective walls of the housing for safety, and a syringe lock holds it there securely for safekeeping.

International Classification:

A61M 5/00

US Classification:

604115, 604116, 604117

Abstract:

An artery stabilizer device, which is held in place by a technician over a targeted artery using just one or two fingertips of the technician's hand, is provided for stabilizing the artery while the user inserts the needle of a syringe into the artery. A pair of stabilizer fingers, which protrude from the bottom surface of a finger-hold platform, hold the artery in place while the needle is inserted into the artery distal the tips of the stabilizer fingers. In one embodiment, a gauze pad is attached beneath the finger-hold platform, allowing the user to quickly apply a dressing over the wound created by the needle puncture. Another embodiment provides a needle guide between extended stabilizer fingers for stabilizing the needle during the arterial puncture. Each embodiment creates an augmented pulse at the targeted needle insertion site, making it easier for the technician to palpate the pulse there. Arterial line insertions can also be facilitated using this invention.

International Classification:

A61M 5/00

US Classification:

604115, 604187

Abstract:

A vascular catheter installer with a syringe holder adapted for use with a catheter syringe is provided for installing an indwelling catheter into a blood vessel. A syringe holder is slidably set on a rigid shaft, allowing a technician to maneuver an attached catheter syringe up and down the shaft. The technician presses down on a finger-hold platform while a stabilizer holds the device in place. The syringe holder can be locked in multiple locations along the shaft and the needle of the syringe can be immobilized within the protective walls of a needle shield for safety.

Inventors:

James Gerard Perez - Bonita CA, US

International Classification:

A61M 5/00

US Classification:

604115

Abstract:

An artery stabilizer device, with a slide over which a technician can guide a syringe, is provided for restraining a targeted artery while the technician inserts the needle of the syringe into the artery. A pair of stabilizer fingers holds the artery in place while the syringe is maneuvered over the slide of a shaft which is connected to a base above the stabilizer fingers. In one embodiment, a finger-hold platform emanates from the bottom of the shaft, and a gauze dressing member with a gauze pad is removably attached to the bottom of the platform, allowing the technician to quickly apply a dressing over the wound created by the needle insertion procedure. An artery stabilizer adjustment track allows the technician to alter the width between each stabilizer finger.

Appl. No.:

11/557494

Inventors:

James Gerard Perez - Bonita CA, US

International Classification:

A61M 5/00

US Classification:

604187

Abstract:

An artery stabilizing syringe conveyor is provided for facilitating the insertion of the needle of a syringe into a targeted artery. A pair of stabilizer fingers holds the artery in place while a syringe (held by a syringe holder) is maneuvered down the slot of a housing structure which is connected to the stabilizer fingers. After sufficient blood is obtained, the technician is able to slide the syringe back up the slot, placing the needle within the protective walls of the housing for safety. A syringe lock holds the syringe in place. The blood receptacle component of the syringe may be separated from the device, leaving the needle locked within the housing for safety. An alternative embodiment provides a shaft, rather than a housing, to slidably retain the syringe holder, and a needle shield provides protection from the sharp tip of the needle.
