  • Publication number: 20150148746
    Abstract: An outer unit (101) includes a shield (20) that has an inner cavity (24) and a soft outer needle (30) that is fixed to a front end of the shield. An inner unit (102) includes an inner hub (40) that is disposed within the inner cavity of the shield, a hard inner needle (50) that is fixed to a front end of the inner hub, and a tube (60) that is connected to a rear end of the inner hub. The inner unit is displaceable relative to the outer unit from an initial position at which the inner needle penetrates the outer needle and protrudes from a leading end of the outer needle to a retracted position at which the inner needle is housed within the inner cavity of the shield. The inner unit located at the initial position is fastened to the outer unit so that the inner unit is prevented from moving toward the retracted position due to a reaction force that is exerted on the inner needle during insertion with the inner unit being disposed at the initial position.

  • Patent number: 8911405
    Abstract: An inner hub (9) with a needle attached to a tip thereof is housed in a cylindrical body (2). The inner hub (9) includes a through-hole (22) penetrating the inner hub (9) in a radial direction of the inner hub (9), and a recessed portion (23a) formed in an outer circumferential surface (23) of the inner hub (9). An opening of the through-hole (22) and the recessed portion (23a) are connected together in a circumferential direction of the inner hub (9). A liquid flowing out from the opening of the through-hole (22) is limited so that the liquid flows along the recessed portion (23a), and the flow of the liquid moving in the circumferential direction of the inner hub (9) is promoted. As a result, the removal of air bubbles in the circumferential direction of the inner hub (9) is promoted, whereby air bubbles can be prevented from remaining on the outer circumferential surface (23) of the inner hub (9).

  • Patent number: 8186384
    Abstract: A flow control apparatus 1 including a tubular outside member 4, a tubular inside member 10 placed in the outside member 4, and a valve member 20 is used. The inside member 10 includes a through-hole 14 passing through a side wall in a thickness direction and a contact portion 11 that is in contact with the outside member 4, which are arranged in that order in a direction from one opening 16 to the other opening 17. The valve member 20 is placed in the opening 17 of the inside member 10. The valve member 20 passes only a fluid supplied at a set pressure or higher in a direction from the one opening 16 to the other opening 17. The outside member 4 is formed so as to form a gap communicating with the through hole 14 between the outside member 4 and the contact portion 11 due to elastic deformation caused by an external force. The gap forms a flow path of a fluid in combination with the through-hole 14.

  • Patent number: 8105312
    Abstract: The present invention aims at offering: a syringe connectable to a port in a fixed manner as well as capable of demonstrating high operational performance even in the case of direct connection where a connector is not used; a connector used for the syringe; and a syringe able to attach the connector thereto. For the attainment of the above objectives, the medical syringe of the present invention is a medical syringe including a cyrindrical connection supporting member which enhances the holding force of a luer part inserted into a port when the medical syringe is connected to the port. The connection supporting member is set by sliding along the luer or a syringe body in a state of being movable between a first position near a tip of the luer and a second position away from the tip of the luer. The medical syringe is characterized in that, when the connection supporting member is moved to the second position, the tip of the luer part is exposed.
