  • Publication number: 20230157725
    Abstract: Powered drivers operable to insert an intraosseous device into a bone and associated bone marrow are disclosed. Some of the present powered drivers may include a housing having a distal end and a proximal end; a motor disposed in the housing; a driveshaft at the distal end of the housing; and a gearbox coupled to the motor and to the driveshaft. Activation of the motor causes rotation of the driveshaft. The housing may include a power source configured to power the motor. The driveshaft may be slidably disposed in the housing and configured such that, upon application of a threshold force on the driveshaft in the direction of the proximal end of the housing, the driveshaft will slide toward the proximal end of the housing to cause an electrical circuit between the motor and the power source to close.

  • Patent number: 11547445
    Abstract: Powered drivers operable to insert an intraosseous device into a bone are disclosed. Some of the present powered drivers include a housing having a distal end and a proximal end. A driveshaft may be located near the distal end of the housing and configured to engage a portion of the intraosseous device. A motor may be disposed in the housing and operable to rotate the driveshaft. A power source may be disposed within the housing and configured to power the motor. The powered drivers may include a lockout operable to prevent activation of the driver for increased safety when handling the driver.

  • Publication number: 20210282753
    Abstract: Assistive apparatuses or devices, kits, and methods for assisting with removal of a biological sample from an intraosseous device are described. Some of the present assistive apparatuses comprise: a body including a first end and a second end, and defining a channel with a first portion having a first transverse dimension, a second portion disposed between the first portion and the second end and having a second transverse dimension that is smaller than the first transvers dimension, and a longitudinal axis extending through the first portion and the second portion, the body further including a protrusion extending laterally outward relative to the longitudinal axis; where the channel is configured to receive a portion of an intraosseous device having a hub and a cannula extending from the hub, with the first portion of the channel receiving a part of the hub, and the second portion of the channel receiving a part of the cannula while preventing passage of the hub through the second portion.
