  • Patent number: 11305286
    Abstract: The invention relates to a collection assembly (1) for small amounts of body fluids, comprising a sample container (2) and an extender element (3). The sample container (2) has a base (13) and a container wall (5) with a first container wall section (6) and a second container wall section (7) adjoining same. The second container wall section (7) is formed hollow-conically and projects into the extender element (3). Moreover, a coupling device (25) with a first coupling element (26) and a second coupling element (27) is provided. When the coupling elements (26, 27) are in coupled engagement, the extender element (3) is coupled to the sample container (2) in a positively locked manner in the form of a snap connection establishing the collection assembly (1).

  • Patent number: 10772549
    Abstract: A handling device for medical technology includes a main body part and a front wall which define a receiving space. A cannula protrudes with its proximal cannula end into the receiving space. A hose-like sleeve is held with its distal sleeve end on at least one holding element of the holding device, which holding element is formed or arranged directly on the front wall. The holding element bears externally on the sleeve in a contact area. Moreover, a method produces a handling device of this type.

  • Patent number: 10618049
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sampling assembly (1), in particular for relatively small quantities of bodily fluids. The said sample assembly (1) comprises a sample container (2) and a support assembly (15). The sample container (2) has an open end (4), an end (5) closed by a bottom (6) as well as a side wall (7). The support assembly (15) protrudes axially over the sample container (2) in the area of the closed end (5) thereof, and comprises at least two container extension pieces (16). The container extension pieces (16) are each integrally connected with the sample container (2) via a hinge assembly (17) and are pivotable from a production position aligned at an angle (18) to the longitudinal axis (8) to a use position which is aligned approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis (8).

  • Publication number: 20170182489
    Abstract: The invention relates to a receiver container (2) for receiving body fluid, in particular blood, comprising an open end (4), an end (5) closed by a base wall (6) and a container wall (7) which extends therebetween and defines a longitudinal axis (8). The container wall (7) has an internal surface (9) and an external surface (11) spaced apart therefrom by a wall thickness (10). The receiver container (2) is made from a plastic material. At least one reinforcement rib (27) is arranged on at least one first subsection (28) of the internal surface (9) of the container wall (7) and protrudes towards the longitudinal axis (8), said first subsection (28) extending from the region of the closed end (5) and in the direction towards the open end (4). The invention also relates to a receiver unit (1) comprising such a receiver container (2) which is closed by a closure device (3).

  • Publication number: 20160262677
    Abstract: The invention relates to a medical removal unit (1) for blood, comprising a needle carrier (2), at least one cannula (3), which has a distal and a proximal cannula segment (6, 7), and a hose-shaped sleeve (4), which has a closed sleeve end (12) and an open sleeve end (11). The sleeve (4) is fastened to a proximal needle-carrier end (10) by means of the open sleeve end (11) and surrounds the proximal cannula segment (7) in a sealing manner in such a way that an accommodating chamber (13) is formed. An air removal device (14) connects the accommodating chamber (13) to the outer environment in order that air flows out of the accommodating chamber and is formed by at least one outflow channel (15) arranged or formed in the needle carrier (2).

  • Publication number: 20150313525
    Abstract: The invention relates to a safety assembly for medical technology, which comprises a handling device having a main part and a holding attachment and a longitudinal axis extending between a distal and a proximal end. A protective device is moreover provided, having a base part and a protective element connected pivotally thereto, wherein the base part is retained on the holding attachment of the handling device so as to rotate about the longitudinal axis. A locking device having first and second detent elements defines a relative position of the protective device with respect to the handling device. The at least first detent element provided on the handling device is arranged spaced from the holding attachment in the radial direction with respect thereto and spaced from the annular base part on the side facing away from the longitudinal axis.
