SAFETY SYRINGE WITH ROTATING SLEEVE LOCK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18072448 titled 'SAFETY SYRINGE WITH ROTATING SLEEVE LOCK
Simplified Explanation
The safety lock syringe assembly described in the abstract includes a barrel with lugs, a needle, and a sleeve with a locking mechanism. The sleeve can be rotated to expose or shield the needle, and then locked in place to prevent accidental needle sticks.
- The safety lock syringe assembly includes a barrel with lugs, a needle, and a sleeve with a locking mechanism.
- The sleeve can be rotated to expose or shield the needle, and then locked in place to prevent accidental needle sticks.
Potential Applications
The safety lock syringe assembly could be used in medical settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and doctor's offices, to help prevent accidental needle sticks and improve overall safety during medical procedures.
Problems Solved
This technology helps solve the problem of accidental needle sticks, which can lead to infections and other health risks for healthcare workers and patients. By providing a locking mechanism to shield the needle when not in use, the safety lock syringe assembly reduces the likelihood of needle stick injuries.
Benefits
The safety lock syringe assembly improves safety in medical settings by reducing the risk of accidental needle sticks. This can lead to a decrease in infections and injuries, as well as increased peace of mind for healthcare workers and patients.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Improving Safety in Medical Procedures with the Safety Lock Syringe Assembly"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing safety syringe designs that incorporate locking mechanisms to prevent needle stick injuries. Some examples include retractable needles and syringes with built-in shields.
Original Abstract Submitted
A safety lock syringe assembly comprising a barrel including a distal end and a proximal end, one or more lugs extending outwardly from an outer surface of the barrel, and a needle extending from the distal end, and a sleeve having threads that engage the one or more lugs, the sleeve includes a sleeve locking mechanism, wherein the sleeve threadably rotates in a first direction to a first position that exposes the needle, the sleeve threadably rotates in a second direction to a second position that shields the needle, and the sleeve threadably rotates in the second direction to a third position that engages the one or more lugs to the sleeve locking mechanism to irreversibly lock the shield to the barrel.
