  • Publication number: 20250032705
    Abstract: Medical safety needle assembly comprising a medical needle (14) having a distal and a proximal end and a stem extending there between, the needle having a tip at its distal end, the proximal end of the needle being connected to a tubing (15) with a connection hub for connecting the tubing (15) to a syringe (30), the connection being able to resist tensile loads, and a base plate (10) the needle (14) extending slidably through the base plate (10) and having an inserted position with the needle tip extending in distal direction from the base plate (10) and a retracted position with the needle tip being in a position inside a cavity of the base plate, characterized in that the needle comprises a first attachment element at its proximal side of the base plate (10), and the connection hub comprises a second attachment element (31) being able to engage with the first attachment element in order to pull the needle (14) through the base (10) plate into its retracted position.

  • Publication number: 20250032706
    Abstract: Medical safety needle assembly comprising a medical needle having a distal and a proximal end and a stem extending there between, the needle having a tip at its distal end, the proximal end of the needle being connectable to a fluid path, and the needle stem having a 80°-90° bend, and a safety device comprising a base plate and a housing the base plate and the housing enclosing together a cavity, the safety device being slidably arranged on the needle stem distal from the bend, and the needle stem passing through a distal opening in the base plate and a proximal opening in the housing, the needle having an inserted position with the needle tip extending in distal direction from the base plate and a retracted position with the needle tip being in a position inside the cavity, characterized in that the housing consists of a first part attached to the base plate and a second part (32) attached by means of extendible attachment elements (33) to the first part, wherein the proximal opening is arranged in the secon

  • Patent number: 9895213
    Abstract: A vein filter can switch from a collapsed state to a deployed filtering state and further from this filtering state to an open non-filtering state. The filter includes a plurality of primary filter legs and a plurality of secondary filter legs. The primary filter legs are grouped at one end in a common filter head. One secondary filter leg is connected to each of the primary filter legs in proximity of the filter head. Each secondary filter leg is connected to the adjacent primary leg to which it is not already fixed in proximity of the filter head by a connecting wire attached in the area of the free ends of the legs.

  • Patent number: 9848974
    Abstract: The invention relates to a safety cartridge (1) for a removable vena cava filter (20), having a proximal end (2) and a distal end (3) and having an inner channel (4) extending between the ends. The cartridge is characterized in that it comprises, on the distal end (3) thereof, a linking device (5) for forming a link with a catheter (30) and, in the inner channel thereof, a projection (6) having a limited size in the axial direction of the cartridge (1) so as to locally reduce the cross-section of the channel (4).

  • Patent number: 8882727
    Abstract: A needle has a distal end, a proximal end, and a stem extending there between, as well as a tip at the distal end. The needle is provided with a safety device being arranged so as to be capable of sliding over the stem and a second position at the distal end of the stem. The safety device also includes a recess having a proximal opening and a distal opening for the needle stem to pass there through, the tip of the needle being inside the recess when the safety device is in the second position. The device includes a closing device that closes the distal opening of the recess when the needle tip is inside the recess.

  • Publication number: 20130172825
    Abstract: The invention relates to a needle (10) having a distal end (11), a proximal end (12), and a stem (13) extending therebetween, as well as a tip (14) at the distal end (11) thereof. The needle (10) is provided with a safety device (20), said device being arranged so as to be capable of sliding over the stem (13) between a first position in the proximal area of the stem (13) and a second position at the distal end (11) of the stem. The safety device also includes a recess (21, 22) having a proximal opening (23) and a distal opening (24) for the needle stem to pass therethrough, the tip (14) of the needle being inside the recess when the safety device is in the second position. The device includes a closing device (30) that closes the distal opening (24) of the recess when the needle tip is inside the recess.
