Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a retractable intraosseous access system configured to transition between an active state and one of a folded state or a retracted state. In the folded state, the access assembly can be pivoted relative to the driver to collapse the access assembly against a handle. In the retracted state, the access assembly is slidably received within a housing of the driver. Advantageously, the retractably intraosseous access system can provide an “all-in-one” design that does not require assembling separate components. Further the retractably intraosseous access system can provide a compact outer profile requiring reduced storage space.
Claims14
A foldable intraosseous access system for accessing a medullary cavity, comprising:
- a driver including a housing extending along a longitudinal axis, and a grip extending along a grip axis angled relative to the longitudinal axis, the housing including a drive train;
- and
- a single access assembly pivotably coupled to the housing between a folded state and an active state, the single access assembly including a needle defining a lumen and extending parallel to the longitudinal axis in the active state, and extending at an angle to the longitudinal axis in the folded state, the single access assembly further including an obturator disposed within the lumen of the needle, the drive train configured to provide rotational motion to the single access assembly in the active state to drill the needle of the single access assembly through a bone cortex.
