Abstract
This disclosure includes various embodiments of couplers for coupling intraosseous (IO) devices and drivers, and various embodiments of drivers and kits.
Claims19
A coupler comprising:
- a hollow sleeve including a first end and a second end, the hollow sleeve configured to be rotatably coupled to an intraosseous device while the hollow sleeve is coupled in a fixed relation to a driver, such that the intraosseous device is operable to rotate relative to the hollow sleeve when coupled together;
- where the first end of the hollow sleeve includes an opening through which a portion of the intraosseous device extends when the hollow sleeve is rotatably coupled to the intraosseous device;
- where the second end of the hollow sleeve has a recess configured to receive a portion of the driver;
- where the second end of the hollow sleeve is configured to releasably engage the driver in the fixed relation such that rotation of the hollow sleeve relative to the driver is restricted;
- and
- where the hollow sleeve is operable to permit the driver to rotate the intraosseous device when the hollow sleeve is releasably engaged to the driver in the fixed relation.
