SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SAFETY SYRINGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050662 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SAFETY SYRINGE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for injecting substances using a syringe. The system includes a syringe body with an opening and a needle interface, as well as a plunger member that can be manually manipulated to insert a stopper relative to the syringe body. The plunger member also includes a needle retention feature, an energy-storage member, and an energy-storage member latching member. Additionally, the system includes a needle hub assembly coupled to the needle interface of the syringe body, with a retractable needle that can be coupled to the hub using a needle latching member. The needle can be retracted into the plunger interior by manipulating the plunger member to activate the energy-storage member latching member.

• The system allows for the controlled injection of substances using a syringe.
• The plunger member includes features for securely retaining the needle and storing energy.
• The needle hub assembly allows for easy attachment and detachment of the needle.
• The retractable needle feature provides added safety and convenience during injection.

Potential Applications

• Medical injections, such as vaccines or medications.
• Veterinary injections for animals.
• Industrial applications requiring precise substance injection.

Problems Solved

• Ensures secure attachment of the needle to the syringe.
• Provides a mechanism for storing and releasing energy for injection.
• Offers a retractable needle for improved safety and convenience.

Benefits

• Enhanced safety during injection procedures.
• Easy attachment and detachment of the needle.
• Precise control over substance injection.
• Improved convenience and usability for medical professionals.

Original Abstract Submitted

a system for injecting includes a syringe body defining a proximal opening and a distal needle interface. the system also includes a plunger member defining a plunger interior and configured to be manually manipulated to insert a stopper member relative to the syringe body. the plunger member includes a needle retention feature disposed in the plunger interior, an energy-storage member disposed in the plunger interior, and an energy-storage member latching member disposed in the plunger interior. the system further includes a needle hub assembly coupled to the distal needle interface of the syringe body. the needle assembly includes a needle having a needle proximal end feature, a hub, and a needle latching member configured to couple the needle to the hub. the needle is retractable into plunger interior upon manipulation of the plunger member to actuate the energy-storage member latching member.
