  • Patent number: 6113581
    Abstract: An infusion needle for injection, and continuous transport of medicinal fluid into a blood vessel, or body fluid out of organ tissue, for an indefinite extended period of time, such that the infusion needle tip is sufficiently sharp and rigid for puncturing blood vessels and organ tissue, and is made of a bio-degradable and bio-absorbable material, that degrades in and is absorbed by, a patient's body. The presence of the smooth remaining end of the infusion needle, and the absence of the needle tip following bio-degradation, precludes bodily damage and pain caused by movement at the junction of the previously present infusion needle tip and the patient's blood vessel or organ tissue. The infusion needle tip is made of a bio-degradable and bio-absorbable material, consisting of some combination of catgut, polygalactin, polydioxanone, polyglycolic acid, or other similar medically acceptable bio-degradable/absorbable material.
