Abstract
The present invention relates to a needle having safety mechanism for a huber needle assembly in which the safety mechanism comprises a needle hub, a base, a huber needle slidably disposed through the needle hub, a wing holder having two wings at the opposite end of the wing holder, a connector which connects the needle hub and the base for protecting the tip of the huber needle.
Claims10
A safety mechanism for a huber needle assembly comprising:
- a main body having a needle hub and a base;
- a huber needle disposed along the needle hub with a tip wherein a proximal end of the needle hub is movably attached to a proximal end of the base;
- a wing holder at a distal end of the base, the wing holder having two sides and a wing extending from each side;
- a connector slidably arranged across a space provided between a distal end of the needle hub and the proximal end of the needle hub through a first lever at a distal end of the connector wherein a proximal end of the connector is movably connected to the base through a second lever;
- and
- wherein said needle hub comprises a flip to activate the connector and a locking shaft across the space, wherein the locking shaft comprises a first end and a second end;
- and
- a locking protrusion with a groove across the second end of the locking shaft, wherein while retracting the huber needle, the connector slides from the first end of the locking shaft to the second end of the locking shaft with the help of the first lever at the distal end of the connector and the second lever at the proximal end of the connector;
- a knob fixed across the first lever at the distal end of the connector gets locked at the groove once the first lever at the distal end of the connector is locked across the locking protrusion;
- and
- the tip of the huber needle gets locked between an aperture of the wing holder.
