Publication number: 20040143196Abstract: A safety syringe with retractable needle is disclosed. The syringe body contains a hollow needle mounted on a base. An ear on the base extends through a guide slot in the wall of the body. The ear follows the guide slot and allows the needle to extend and protrude from the end of the body or be retracted back into the body after use. A front and rear lock slot hold the needle in an extended or retracted position. Once retracted, the needle tilts to one side, thus easily identifying the syringe as used and preventing the needle from accidentally protruding from the syringe body. A vial removal knob provides easy removal of the sample vial. A rear cover closes the end of the body to prevent the rear needle tip from protruding from the body. Therefore, a high degree of safety for medical personnel and patients is ensured.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2003Publication date: July 22, 2004Inventor: Long-Hsiung Chen

Patent number: 6764465Abstract: The invention provides a safety syringe for extracting blood, with retractable or removable needle that can be retracted into the syringe body or removed after use and safety locks that lock the retractable needle in an extended position during use and in a retracted position after use to ensure that the syringe is not reused or that the needle is not inadvertently extended. When retracted, the needle assembly is cocked at an angle identifying the syringe as used and adding further protection to prevent the needle from being inadvertently extended and exposed from the tube. These safety features work in conjunction to enhance the usability and increase the safety of the syringe. Thereby protecting medical workers from being injured by an exposed needle or contaminated by disease or infection from contact with the patient's blood present on a used needle.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2002Date of Patent: July 20, 2004Inventor: Long Hsiung Chen
