  • Patent number: 4435175
    Abstract: A device for carrying, manipulating, and securing a hollow, medical subcutaneous infusion needle. The carrier comprises a body firmly holding the needle, a pair of laterally extending relatively angularly variable wings, and a control member. One handed-grasping and manipulation of the control member permits both unlocking the wings for changing their angular relationship to accommodate the desired angle of insertion of the needle into a patient, and locking the wings to brace the carrier at the desired angle. Manipulation of the control member also permits rotation of the needle independent of the angle of insertion, during the insertion procedure. Squeezing the control member provides an unset condition in which relative movement of the wings with respect to each other and with respect to the body may occur, and relaxation of squeezing provides a set or locked condition.
