  • Patent number: 11826145
    Abstract: A tail pressing type disposable safety lancet includes a shell, a lancet core, a spring and tail cover. The shell has an elastic arm for locking the lancet core, wherein: the tail cover has an active locking part for locking and the elastic arm has a passive locking part for locking correspondingly; the positions, the fitting time of the active locking part and the passive locking part correlate with the active and passive unlocking parts; when the tail cover is pressed during use, it forces the lancet core to unlock for ejection and puncturing, and the tail cover and elastic arm enter the locking state and cannot be used again. After use of the safety lancet, the tail cover permanently locks on the elastic arm of the shell, ensuring the safety of single use, and the user visually recognizes the tail cover is retracted at the tail of the shell.

  • Patent number: 11766201
    Abstract: A lancing device with rear adjustment of penetration depth includes a cap, cap holder, ejection pin and shell, wherein: the lancing device has an external and medium depth adjusting sleeve. The ejection pin is located in the medium sleeve and the external depth adjusting sleeve is sleeved outside the medium sleeve; the external sleeve connects axially and circumferentially to the shell, and a rotary locating mechanism is between the external sleeve and the shell; the medium sleeve is connected circumferentially and axially in a sliding way, and a rotary moving mechanism is between the medium the external sleeve, and the medium includes a passive impact face relative to the active impact face of the ejection pin; the external sleeve includes a manual adjusting ring outside the lancing device at the middle and rear part, and rotates to drive the medium sleeve to move axially, changing the needle tip penetration depth.

  • Patent number: 11020535
    Abstract: An insulin injection needle with needle tip protection has a needle body, needle base, main cover and outer sheath. The main cover is provided with the trigger tube, front casing and spring. The trigger tube is used to protect the injection section of needle body before use and the front casing is used to protect the injection section of needle body after use. Before use, the trigger tube extends out of the main cover and is in the state of protecting the needle, and the front casing is in the main cover; after, the trigger tube is in the main cover and the front casing extends out of the main cover and protects the needle. The unlocking of trigger tube and front casing correlate with injection readiness and the tail cover and needle base trigger the unlocking of trigger tube and front casing during the installation.

  • Publication number: 20210138159
    Abstract: A rotational locking type safety insulin pen needle includes a needle body, intermediate shield, front shield, tail cover and rear spring, wherein: the intermediate shield provides a rotating tube, the tube provides a beveled rail on the outer edge; the front shield provides a bevel acting part on the inner edge; the tail cover provides an elastic leg, the leg provides a front protection stopper; the rotating tube provides a first and second rail slot at intervals along the circumferential direction. The backward movement of the front shield when the needle is pushed to drive the rotation of the rotating tube and uses the coordination of the first and second rail slot on the rotating tube and the rear protection stopper on the tail cover to change the coordination relationship between the tail cover and the rotating tube, which provides the reliable locking protection of the tail cover after use.
