  • Patent number: 8597241
    Abstract: A retained needle structure of a comprises a syringe needle with one or more fastening portion, a catheter with a cannula having a flexible tube, as well as a syringe cover with an aperture and gliding portion. The syringe needle has an inserting portion which is axially operated by users to enhance safety practice in clinical use. First design is the sliding slot has a deflected slant portion at the distal end. When the fastening portion is at the rear end of sliding slot, the injection needle is already inside of syringe cover. At the same point, body of the syringe needle is deflected laterally from the center of the syringe cover. The second design is used the levering effect from gravity of syringe cover. When the fastening portion is at the rear end of sliding slot, the syringe cover is vertically rotated from the original center of the syringe cover.

  • Patent number: 7750790
    Abstract: The invention provides a strain gauge which includes a fabric base and at least one conductive yarn. In addition, the fabric base is weaved with a plurality of non-conductive yarns, and the fabric base thereon defines a sensing direction. Moreover, each of the conductive yarn is gimped by a textile process with one of the non-conductive yarns and is woven through the fabric base along the sensing direction. Furthermore, the at least one conductive yarn is capable of being applied by an electric power; when an external force acts on the fabric base, the geometrical property of the at least one conductive yarn alters so that a change of an electric property associated with the applied electric power is sensed to indicate an elongation of said strain gauge applied by the external force along the sensing direction.

  • Publication number: 20070179362
    Abstract: A method and an instrument feed back the physical condition monitored from the fetus and the gravida automatically. Various monitoring methods are adopted to automatically set up monitoring intervals and time points. While the physical condition detected is good, it keeps the preset monitoring time intervals; if the feedback condition is not good, then the monitoring intervals and time points would be adjusted, and the instrument informs the gravida for further management. Through that, it generalizes all the values monitored at different time. The detailed result could be got from feedback of the repeated monitoring and cross monitoring thereby automatically, then well informing the gravida about the condition of herself and her fetus to get proper medical assistance.

  • Publication number: 20050228345
    Abstract: A single-use safety injector structure includes a syringe needle, a protective cover and a syringe. The syringe needle is connected to the syringe via an insertion portion. The outer periphery of the insertion portion is provided with a gliding block. The gliding block includes a base, a guiding rod and an upper stopping portion. The outer periphery of the protective cover is provided with a gliding track. One or both sides in the vicinity of the front end and rear end of the gliding track are provided with salients. The gliding track is provided with one or more non-return stopping blocks behind and in the vicinity of the rear-end salient.
