  • Patent number: 12357324
    Abstract: An intraosseous access device for accessing an intraosseous space of a patient includes a manual driver and a sternal locator. The handle is connected to an inner penetrator hub, and an inner penetrator extends from the inner penetrator hub. An outer penetrator hub is releasably engaged to the inner penetrator hub. A protective cover is slidably coupled to the handle. The protective cover is operable to move from an extended position where the inner penetrator is covered, to a retracted position where the inner penetrator is exposed. The sternal locator includes a base; a collar extending from a first surface of the base for securing the intraosseous access device to restrict longitudinal separation of the intraosseous access device from the locator. The locator may be removed from the patient while the outer penetrator remains inserted in an intraosseous space of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20220110658
    Abstract: An apparatus operable to provide access to a sternal intraosseous space in a first mode of operation and operable to provide access to a peripheral intraosseous space in a second mode of operation. The apparatus includes a manual driver and a stabilizer. The manual driver has a handle, an inner penetrator hub, and an outer penetrator hub. The stabilizer has a housing, an outer sleeve coupled to the housing and configured to move from an extended position to a retracted position in the first mode of operation, and a protective shield coupled to the stabilizer housing and configured to move from an exposed position to a shielded position in the first mode of operation. The manual driver is securely engaged to the stabilizer in the first mode of operation, and the manual driver is detached from the stabilizer in the second mode of operation.

  • Publication number: 20220104849
    Abstract: An intraosseous access device is operable to provide access to a sternal intraosseous space in a first mode of operation and operable to provide access to a peripheral intraosseous space in a second mode of operation. The device includes an outer sleeve, an inner penetrator hub, and an outer penetrator hub. A protective shield is telescopically coupled to the outer sleeve. The protective shield is operable to move from an expanded position to a retracted position in both the first and second modes of operation. A bone probe ring is disposed within the protective shield and configured to move between an extended position and a retracted position in both the first and second modes of operation. An actuator is operable to manually move the protective shield and the bone probe ring to the retracted position when in the second mode of operation.
