NEEDLE AND ASSEMBLY OF NEEDLE, GUIDEWIRE, AND/OR CATHETER INSERT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240041493 titled 'NEEDLE AND ASSEMBLY OF NEEDLE, GUIDEWIRE, AND/OR CATHETER INSERT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a needle design that includes a hub and an elongate body. The elongate body has a proximal portion joined to the hub, a distal portion opposite the proximal portion, and an intermediate portion between them. The needle has a lumen that extends longitudinally through the elongate body. The proximal portion is linear and has a larger diameter, while the distal portion is curved to move the distal end away from the longitudinal axis and has a smaller diameter. The intermediate portion tapers in outer diameter from the first end to the second end.

  • The needle design includes a hub and an elongate body.
  • The elongate body has a proximal portion, a distal portion, and an intermediate portion.
  • The proximal portion is joined to the hub and has a larger diameter.
  • The distal portion is curved to move the distal end away from the longitudinal axis and has a smaller diameter.
  • The intermediate portion tapers in outer diameter from the first end to the second end.

Potential Applications:

  • Medical procedures requiring needle insertion, such as injections or blood sampling.
  • Surgical procedures where precise control and maneuverability of the needle are necessary.
  • Industrial applications that involve the use of needles, such as manufacturing or quality control processes.

Problems Solved:

  • Improved control and maneuverability during needle insertion.
  • Reduced risk of tissue damage or injury due to the curved design.
  • Enhanced functionality and versatility in various medical and industrial applications.

Benefits:

  • Increased precision and accuracy in needle placement.
  • Minimized discomfort or pain for patients during needle insertion.
  • Improved efficiency and effectiveness in medical and industrial procedures.
  • Reduced risk of complications or adverse effects associated with needle use.


Original Abstract Submitted

a needle includes a hub and an elongate body. the elongate body has a proximal portion joined to the hub and defining a proximal end, a distal portion opposite the proximal portion and defining a distal end, and an intermediate portion between the proximal portion and the distal portion and having a first end adjacent the proximal portion and a second end adjacent the distal portion. a lumen extends longitudinally through the elongate body. the proximal portion extends linearly along a longitudinal axis and has a proximal diameter. the distal portion is curved to space the distal end away from the longitudinal axis and has a distal diameter that is less than the proximal diameter. the intermediate portion tapers in outer diameter going from the first end to the second end.
