NEEDLE WITH MULTI-BEVEL TIP GEOMETRY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042139 titled 'NEEDLE WITH MULTI-BEVEL TIP GEOMETRY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a multi-beveled needle point geometry for hypodermic needles, specifically pen needles. The needle has a proximal bevel at a first angle of inclination, a pair of intermediate bevels at a second angle of inclination, and a pair of distal bevels at a third angle of inclination with different angles of rotation. The second angle of inclination is significantly different from the first angle of inclination, creating a marked apex at the intersections between the proximal bevel and the intermediate bevels. Smooth transitions are typically provided between adjacent bevels, between a bevel and the outer surface of the needle, and/or between a bevel and the lumen of the needle.
- The needle has multiple bevels at different angles of inclination and rotation.
- The second angle of inclination is significantly different from the first angle, creating a marked apex.
- Smooth transitions are provided between bevels and other surfaces of the needle.
Potential Applications:
- Medical injections
- Insulin delivery
- Blood sampling
Problems Solved:
- Improved needle penetration and insertion
- Reduced pain and discomfort during injections
- Enhanced precision and accuracy in medical procedures
Benefits:
- Increased patient comfort
- Improved medical outcomes
- Enhanced usability and ease of needle insertion
Original Abstract Submitted
a multi-beveled needle point geometry for hypodermic needles such as pen needles. a proximal bevel is formed at a first angle of inclination, a pair of intermediate bevels at a second angle of inclination, and a pair of distal bevels at a third angle of inclination and differing angles of rotation. the second angle of inclination is substantially different than the first angle of inclination to define a marked apex at the intersections between the proximal bevel and the intermediate bevels. at least one smooth transition is typically provided between adjacent bevels, between a bevel and an outer surface of the needle, and/or between a bevel and the lumen of the needle.
