Abstract
NEEDLE FOR MEDICAL AND/OR VETERINARY USE; characterized by the fact of being constituted by two concentric cylindrical builds and a spring, which once assembled, they form an extensible telescopie system, that once activated, it covers the needle completely, forcing the person to throw it away definitively.
Claims5
A needle with an extensible telescopic system assembly for medical and/or veterinary use during body fluid extraction comprising:
- two concentric cylindrical builds forming an inner cylindrical build and an outer cylindrical build;
- a compression and expansion spring;
- the inner cylindrical build having longitudinally elongated self-expansive flanges integral thereto, the longitudinally elongated self-expansive flanges are made of a resilient material with its fore and rear ends in contact with the internal surface of the outer cylindrical build;
- the outer cylindrical build having an inner edge and a stuck and activation element;
- the two concentric cylindrical builds and the compression and expansion spring are assembled to form an extensible telescopic system that is provoked by the stuck and activation element;
- and
- wherein activation of the compression and expansion spring of the extensible telescopic system after fluid extraction and a hypodermic needle is removed from the body during use causes the longitudinally elongated self-expansive flanges to work and cause the outer cylindrical build to cover the hypodermic needle thereof and making it impossible to re-expose the needle.
