  • Patent number: 4838877
    Abstract: There is disclosed a polymeric hypodermic device that comprises a hollow polymeric needle for injection of substances beneath the skin. The polymeric hypodermic device is constructed of a polymeric material such as polyetheretherketones, polycarbonates, polyetherimides, polymethylpentenes, and other synthetic material having bio-compatibility and possessing sufficient structural strength in such fine structures so as to result in penetration of the skin and adjacent body tissues. The invention provides a novel injection end through which the medication is injected in a direction other than parallel to the axis of the needle, which has had a swirling motion imparted to it, thus lessening trauma to tissue and veins.
