发明的技术领域
本发明涉及注射装置,包括用于真皮内注射、皮下注射和肌内注射的注射装置。The present invention relates to injection devices, including injection devices for intradermal, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections.
发明背景Background of the Invention
防止许多疾病的最有效方法是群众性的疫苗免疫接种。自从医学科学已经理解病毒理论的原理以及其在疾病传播中的重要性,截断病毒或细菌从宿主至宿主的传播链的需要已经变成是非常确定的。根据情况的需要,有许多为医学科学所接受的方法以截断这个传播链。最为严格的协议包括利用热化学和/或电离辐射的灭菌、消毒和卫生设备。The most effective way to prevent many diseases is mass vaccination. Since medical science has understood the principles of virus theory and its importance in the spread of disease, the need to interrupt the chain of transmission of a virus or bacterium from host to host has become very certain. There are many methods accepted by medical science to break this chain of transmission, as the situation requires. The most stringent protocols include sterilization, disinfection and sanitation of equipment using thermochemical and/or ionizing radiation.
屏蔽则是另外的公共约定,并可以象建立一种假想屏蔽那样简单,其中,屏蔽的一侧是保持清洁,而另一侧则限定为被污染。任何从边界线的清洁一侧转移至边界线的被污染一侧的对象,在没有被灭菌、卫生处理和消毒之前是不会返回清洁一侧的。这种约定的一个典型例子在医疗的外科术领域。手术台表面被定义为这种边界。任何坠落在手术台表面以下的物品立即被限定为被污染。这里所指的物品包括外科器具或外科医师的双手。Shielding is another common convention and can be as simple as creating a hypothetical shield where one side of the shield is kept clean and the other side is defined as being polluted. Any object that is transferred from the clean side of the boundary line to the contaminated side of the boundary line will not return to the clean side until it has been sterilized, sanitized, and disinfected. A typical example of such an agreement is in the field of medical surgery. The operating table surface is defined as this boundary. Any item that falls below the surface of the operating table is immediately qualified as contaminated. Items referred to here include surgical instruments or the surgeon's hands.
使用针式注射装置,有两个公共约定,这些约定从这样的前提出发,根据定义,使用过的注射器是被污染的。第一个约定通常在牙科术中使用,这个约定是,只使用在每次使用后都经过灭菌的注射器,其中,有时是使用经过灭菌的针头。第二个约定更普遍地在美国和其它发达国家的一般医疗中使用。这就是一次性使用的注射器和针头组件。由于其一般的低生产成本—每个注射器组件低于0.10美圆—这个约定得到很好地接受。With needle injection devices, there are two common conventions that proceed from the premise that a used syringe is, by definition, contaminated. The first convention, commonly used in dentistry, is to use only syringes, and sometimes sterile needles, that are sterilized after each use. The second convention is more commonly used in general medicine in the United States and other developed countries. This is the single-use syringe and needle assembly. Because of its generally low production costs—less than $0.10 per syringe component—this engagement is well accepted.
另一方面,当每一次使用过的注射器的注射部都被废弃时,喷射注射系统继续以其每一个注射器较高的成本(1.00美圆或更高)为特征。此外,在发展中国家存在这样的挑战,在这些地方,缺乏对病毒理论的了解和/或一种普遍存在的心理防范,在健康和卫生各个方面遵循一般接受的习惯。随着对象人体免疫缺乏症病毒(HIV)、B型肝炎、C型肝炎和其它疾病的由血液携带的病原体的认识,遵循正确约定的必要性变得更加至关重要。On the other hand, jet injection systems continue to be characterized by their relatively high cost per syringe ($1.00 or more) as the injection portion of each used syringe is discarded. In addition, challenges exist in developing countries where there is a lack of knowledge about virus theory and/or a prevalent psychological preparedness to follow generally accepted practices in all aspects of health and hygiene. With the recognition of bloodborne pathogens of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, hepatitis C and other diseases in subjects, the need to follow the correct protocol becomes even more critical.
过去,喷射注射器诸如Ped-O-Jet型、Ammo-Jet型及类似的大量商业广告中(mass campaign)的喷射注射器,均被纳入卫生保健系统。这些喷射注射器除了经过复杂的拆卸和灭菌过程之外,对于避免由血液携带的病原体传播并没有保障。在群众性的免疫活动中,当确定体液是容易从一个患者传染给另一个患者时,这些型式的注射器,从二十世纪八十年代的中期和后期不再受到偏爱。Jet injectors such as the Ped-O-Jet(R), Ammo-Jet(R) and similar mass campaign jet injectors have been incorporated into the healthcare system in the past. Apart from the complicated disassembly and sterilization process of these jet syringes, there is no guarantee against the transmission of blood-borne pathogens. These types of syringes fell out of favor in the mid and late 1980's when bodily fluids were determined to be readily transmissible from one patient to another in mass immunization campaigns.
为了消除由血液携带的病原体在个人之间转移的可能性,开发了一次性或部分一次性使用的喷射注射器。Bio-Jet型、J-Tip型和其它的喷射注射器表明了这种类型喷射注射器的特点。由于其直接成本较高,对这些装置的一般认可是有限的,即使象美国这样的发达国家也是如此。截断污染传播链的标准示例已经提出以引起注意,这就要求或者是使注射器一次性使用,或者设计出可以容易地净化的注射器。当前,存在一种流行疾病(艾滋病、肝炎、肺结核和其它经过血液传播的病毒疾病)通过无针注射而在个人之间传递的稳定增长的危险。To eliminate the possibility of transfer of pathogens carried by blood between individuals, single-use or partially single-use jetting syringes were developed. The Bio-Jet(R), J-Tip(R) and other jet injectors characterize this type of jet injector. Due to their high direct costs, general acceptance of these devices is limited, even in developed countries like the United States. A standard example of breaking the chain of contamination transmission has been brought to attention, which requires either making the syringe single-use or designing it so that it can be easily decontaminated. Currently, there is a steadily increasing risk of epidemics (AIDS, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and other blood-borne viral diseases) being passed from person to person through needleless injections.
传统的无针注射器包括:基本设计部;壳体,具有内部能量单元;药物单元和喷嘴。能量单元的作用是将药物泵送进入药物单元室柱塞下的空腔,并使药物从喷嘴排出。A conventional needle-free injector includes: a basic design; a housing with an internal energy unit; a drug unit and a nozzle. The function of the energy unit is to pump the drug into the cavity under the plunger of the drug unit chamber and to expel the drug from the nozzle.
在无针注射发展的初期阶段,当没有使用单向阀作为控制装置在药物室中发挥作用时,避免外部质点进入注射器喷嘴的一种方法,是使用一种密封的喷嘴帽。这种喷嘴帽被用药物充填药物室所限制,且不能保证避免污染。In the early stages of the development of needle-free injection, when no one-way valve was used as a control device to function in the drug chamber, one way to prevent foreign particles from entering the syringe nozzle was to use a sealed nozzle cap. Such nozzle caps are limited by filling the drug chamber with drug and cannot guarantee against contamination.
另一种防止污染问题的方法是喷射注射器使用一次性的、低成本的一次注射(one-shot)喷嘴组件。这种喷嘴组件包括两件式(two-piece)模制装置与一种总体为圆柱形的喷嘴体相结合,此喷嘴体具有一个纵向中心孔,该中心孔具有预定的直径,从喷嘴的近端向其远端延伸,在喷嘴的圆锥部终结。一个极小的射流形成孔,通常在中心孔圆锥部的顶点处制出。此种装置的缺点在于其效率较低(即接种疫苗速度低),这是因为,由于锥形设计导致流量低。此外,一种塑料喷嘴元件也增加疫苗接种的成本。Another way to prevent contamination problems is to use disposable, low cost one-shot nozzle assemblies for jetting syringes. The nozzle assembly consists of a two-piece molding unit combined with a generally cylindrical nozzle body having a longitudinal central bore of predetermined diameter extending from the proximal end of the nozzle. end extending toward its distal end, terminating in the conical portion of the nozzle. A very small jet-forming hole, usually made at the apex of the conical portion of the central hole. A disadvantage of this device is its low efficiency (ie slow vaccination rate) due to the low flow rate due to the conical design. Furthermore, a plastic nozzle element also increases the cost of vaccination.
一种典型的喷射注射器设计具有另外的缺点。即使在实践中使用一种保护帽,在注射过程中,通过流体(血液、淋巴、药物)从皮肤表面的反射(“回溅”),存在着传染病从一个人传播到另一个人的可能性。保护帽可以是一种包括注射喷嘴的一次注射保护帽。此装置的一个作用是避免一个保护帽在一个喷嘴上多次使用。此目的是通过在以后阶段注射中,移去、更换和/或破坏保护帽实现的。但是,交叉污染继续是未可预料的,因为在注射阶段,被污染物质可以经过喷嘴转移至注射器的内部,例如进入空腔,并通过新的保护帽和喷嘴转移到新的患者。A typical jet injector design has additional disadvantages. Even if a protective cap is used in practice, there is the potential for transmission of infection from one person to another through reflection of fluid (blood, lymph, drug) from the skin surface (“splashback”) during injection sex. The protective cap may be a one shot protective cap including an injection nozzle. One function of this device is to avoid multiple uses of a protective cap on a nozzle. This object is achieved by removing, replacing and/or destroying the protective cap at a later stage of the injection. However, cross-contamination continues to be unpredictable because during the injection phase, contaminated material can be transferred through the nozzle to the interior of the syringe, for example into the cavity, and transferred to a new patient through a new protective cap and nozzle.
使用各种已知的装置,实现避免交叉污染的最低安全要求没有保障,正如最近介绍的(Glenn Austin等人的“接种喷射注射器的交叉传染测试----一个初步报告”,见PATH,Seattle,WA,98109)。其它的研究显示了一种极为危险的情况。例如,俄罗斯和巴西的研究已经表明,不幸的数据上升至研究主体的1.0%--超过风险水平如此之大以致不能予以忽视。Achieving the minimum safety requirements to avoid cross-contamination is not guaranteed using various known devices, as recently presented (Glenn Austin et al., "Cross-contamination Tests for Inoculation Jet Syringes - A Preliminary Report", in PATH, Seattle , WA, 98109). Other studies have shown an extremely dangerous situation. For example, studies in Russia and Brazil have shown that unlucky figures rise to 1.0% of the study subjects - exceeding the risk level so large that it cannot be ignored.
当种种喷射注射器在20世纪40年代引入时,受到针头恐惧患者和小静脉血管患者的欢迎。各种进步允许喷射注射器进行亿万次预防注射,这些预防注射赈救了无数的生命。但是,当发现发生病原体转移时,喷射注射器不再受到偏爱竟到达了这样的程度,使得世界卫生组织(WHO)和美国国防部不再建议使用喷射注射器。When the various jet injectors were introduced in the 1940s, they were popular with needle-phobic patients and patients with small veins. Advances have allowed jet syringes to deliver billions of prophylaxis that have saved countless lives. However, when pathogen transfer was found to occur, jet injectors fell out of favor to such an extent that the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Department of Defense no longer recommended their use.
例如,在20世纪80年代中期爆发的B型肝炎是由于在一个减轻体重的门诊部(weight loss clinic)使用了一种高负荷注射器所引起。这可以从Canter等人在1990年《Arch.Intern.Med.》(150卷1923-1927页)发表的“B型肝炎的爆发与在一个减轻体重的门诊部的喷射注射器”了解到。For example, an outbreak of hepatitis B in the mid-1980s was caused by the use of a high-duty syringe in a weight loss clinic. This is known from "Hepatitis B Outbreak and Jet Injectors in a Weight Loss Clinic" by Canter et al., 1990, Arch. Intern. Med. (Vol. 150, pp. 1923-1927).
目前的非肠道注射技术近来已经被世界卫生组织(WHO)认为与其规划中的预防注射与免疫接种全球规划(GPV)倡议的要求是矛盾的。根据估计,2005年以前,将建议为儿童预防注射进行6种额外的亲本疫苗注射,要求每年有总数达3.6billion个免疫接种注射器。亲本注射的总数,包括注射的药物和疫苗,将大约10倍于这个数字。这是除在军事征兵中心的需求、传染病蔓延的情况下的需求、世界范围的免疫接种需求以及兽医需求等亿万需求之外的需求。主要的医疗保健供给者,例如联合国儿童基金会(UNICEF--United Nation International Children’sEmergency Fund)、世界卫生组织(WHO)和疾病控制中心(CDC-Centerof Disease Control)近来已经确认需要一种基本的新技术,这种新技术可以被只需最少训练的个人使用,而且这种技术比注射器和针头更为安全、更加方便和更为舒适。(见Jodar L.,Aguado T.,Lloyd J.和Lambert P-H,发表在《Gen.Eng.News》(1998)18卷第6页的“革命化的免疫接种”。)The current parenteral injection technique has recently been considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be in conflict with the requirements of its planned Global Program on Vaccination and Immunization (GPV) initiative. It is estimated that by 2005, six additional parental vaccines will be recommended for childhood immunization, requiring a total of 3.6 billion immunization syringes per year. The total number of parental injections, including injected drugs and vaccines, will be approximately 10 times that number. This is in addition to the needs in the military recruiting centers, needs in the case of contagious diseases, worldwide immunization needs, and veterinary needs, etc. The billions of needs. Major healthcare providers such as UNICEF (UNICEF--United Nation International Children's Emergency Fund), World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC-Centerof Disease Control) have recently identified the need for a basic New technology that can be used by individuals with minimal training and that is safer, more convenient and more comfortable than syringes and needles. (See Jodar L., Aguado T., Lloyd J., and Lambert P-H, "Revolutionizing Immunization," Gen. Eng. News (1998) 18, p. 6.)
换言之,用作陆地范围生命的救护者变成一种不理想的产品。本发明解决这些与病原体转移相关的问题,并解决与一次性单元高成本相关的许多问题。In other words, use as a terrestrial range life rescuer becomes a less than ideal product. The present invention addresses these issues associated with pathogen transfer, and addresses many of the issues associated with the high cost of disposable units.
相应地,在无针注射装置的技术中,需要解决在群众性预防注射中交叉污染的问题。更特别地,需要为无针注射器的喷嘴头设计一种保护装置,此保护装置阻挡污染物的“回溅”,而且保护装置的成本足够低,以保证即使在群众性预防注射时,可以作为一次性装置应用。Accordingly, in the technology of needle-free injection devices, the problem of cross-contamination in mass vaccination needs to be solved. More specifically, there is a need for a protective device for the nozzle tip of a needle-free injector that blocks "splashback" of contaminants and that is low enough cost to be used as a Disposable device application.

详细说明 Detailed description
图1示出了本发明的分解图。注射器组件10如图所示。注射器组件10的一个作用是保证将药物用无针注射法注射入皮肤12。正如在此所述,注射器组件10设置了一种层,例如保护层14。保护层14通常包括一种材料,这种材料适于允许药物在一个方向注射,而使药物的逆向流最小或使其停滞。在这方面,保护层14可用作逆流防护器(back splashguard)。具体地说,例如,但并不作为对实施例的限制,可设置一种可以选择的隔板16以有利于逆向流的减少。药物射流源是从注射器18发生。常见的注射器包括Med-E-Jet、Ped-O-Jet、Ammo-Jet和类似的注射器。隔板16还包括一个隔板小孔20,根据用途不同,此隔板小孔可以采用任何所希望的形状和尺寸。关于这一点,隔板小孔20的尺寸将影响有多少逆向流撞击保护层14。考虑在全部实施例中,隔板小孔20的尺寸可以设计成对药物射流的干扰最小,而使由保护层14所提供的保护作用最大。如果隔板小孔20太小,隔板16可能干扰药物射流,因此降低射流的能量。如果发生射流能量降低过大的情况,这样,射流将不能以所希望的方式穿透皮肤12以到达所希望的深度。Figure 1 shows an exploded view of the invention.
隔板16的尺寸可以设计成以适应所需要的形状,并可以可选择地包括一种隔板翼15。自然,其长度和直径可以明显不同,但是在一个例子中,隔板16大约可以是直径大于11mm,长度大于5mm。通常,隔板小孔20的直径应当略大于药物射流的直径。因此隔板小孔多大真到没有关系,只要隔板小孔的直径略大于射流直径,而无论注射器的注射小孔22是多大。The
注射器18具有一个注射器小孔22,设置在注射器管道24的远端,准备注射的药物经过注射器管道24从注射器小孔22离开,并刺破保护层14。药物射流于是进入隔板小孔20并撞击皮肤12。药物射流的能量被选择成保证所希望的注射深度和部位。例如,对于更深的注射,将需要更大的能量。药物射流于是进入皮肤12并行进至所希望的位置。但是,撞击皮肤12并不是没有某种伴随物的影响。一种影响就是表面组织、液体、细胞和细胞的内含物从皮肤12的表面移去与脱离,并在附近飞舞。这种碎屑的回溅可以沿射流反向行进,并撞击隔板16和保护层14。不过,碎屑通常并不是行进得足够快以致再次穿透保护层14。在这方面,保护层14使碎屑因回溅而进入注射器小孔22和注射器18停滞或最小。保护层14的作用之一是避免污染注射器。在这方面,本发明的简单概念是保护注射器小孔22不被污染。这样,在不使用隔板16的情况下,注射器本身可能支承(bear)保护层14。因此,一种第一元件至少可以包括注射器、隔板或衬套。The
被选作保护层14的材料,包括任何有利于流体射流从一个方向穿透,但使流体流逆向穿透停滞的材料。例如,保护层可包括一种批准许可用于与药物接触的生物化学惰性材料,这些材料诸如下列材料中的至少其中一种,但并不局限于这些材料,这些材料包括塑料、橡胶、聚合物、聚乙烯、聚四氟乙烯、聚氨基甲酸(乙)酯、聚丙烯、聚烯烃和聚砜材料。在这方面,一种允许在一个方向被射流穿透,但在射流停止后自身即密封的材料是更为理想的。希望一个或多个保护层是薄的,例如大于0.001mm。最好却并不排它地,此厚度可以在大约0.004至0.08mm范围,进一步的厚度大约0.2至0.5mm。应当指出,选择的厚度是可以变化的。保护层14还可以是具有某种结构的、纺织的、编织的,或者如果需要,可以制成保证更好地粘接、或保证更好地设置、或防止其运动或使其运动最小。例如,保护层可以具有各种形式的槽。正如所指出的,保护层的直径(如果是圆片的话,或者,如果是条带形,则指其宽度)应略大于射流的直径。Materials selected for the
如图1所示,其各组成部分用分解图示出。在组件中,隔板16可以设计成安装在注射器18内,并通常将保护层14夹放在隔板16与注射器18之间。理想的是使注射器小孔22与隔板小孔20对准,以使射流的能量的任何衰减最小。致于在此的任何连接和装配,隔板16可以适当地设置成摩擦配合安装、卡入式速动安装、螺纹连接安装或带槽反锥连接安装。在这里的任何组成部分还可以是热密封安装。保护层14还可以根据需要粘接或熔接或以其它方式设置在注射器18、隔板16或者其它任何部分上。As shown in Figure 1, its various components are shown in an exploded view. In assembly, the
图1A示出了本发明的一个简单实施例。可以看出,保护层14通常可以夹放在隔板16与注射器18之间。保护层14可以总体夹放或部分夹放于在此所述的元件之间。当药物经过注射器通道24和注射器小孔22喷射时,它将穿透保护层14并通过隔板小孔20。Figure 1A shows a simple embodiment of the invention. As can be seen, the
应当指出,在本发明的任何实施例中,药物并不要求都是液体。除了水溶液外,本发明可以采用悬浮液、水性胶滞体、乳剂或受控释放可注射药物。其它的药剂形式包括粉剂。例如,英国牛津的PowderjectPhamaceuticals(粉剂注射药公司)和/或Madison,Wisc.的PowderjectVaccines(粉剂注射疫苗公司)已经开发了一种注射器,该注射器以与传统无针注射器相同的方式推进粉剂药物。例如,可以查看美国专利No.5,733,600、No.6,053,889和No.5,899,880,该专利所公开的内容在此专门整个引用。由于粉剂形式的药物只占液体形式药物体积的1%以下,根据本发明使所用的粉剂注射器适用也是所希望的。通常,但并不是排它地,与注射器针头的500微米直径尺寸相比起来,一种粉剂药物颗粒尺寸的可能的范围通常不过50微米。换言之,粉剂形式的疫苗,诸如重组DNA基疫苗,包括B型肝炎和HIV疫苗,以及其它用于处理流行性感冒、破伤风、勃起机能障碍、变态反应、疼痛、癌等等粉剂形式药物都是被考虑的。这些粉状物质可以与少量(例如大约1-10%)无菌水或其它生理学上可以接受的稀释剂混合以形成涂胶(paster)或悬浮液。因此,按照本发明修改具有保护帽和/或保护膜的粉剂注射器,是本领域普通技术人员能力范围内的事。It should be noted that in any embodiment of the invention, the drug does not need to be liquid. In addition to aqueous solutions, the present invention may employ suspensions, aqueous colloids, emulsions or controlled release injectables. Other dosage forms include powders. For example, Powderject Pharmaceuticals of Oxford, England, and/or Powderject Vaccines of Madison, Wisc. have developed a syringe that advances a powdered drug in the same manner as a traditional needle-free injector. See, for example, US Patent Nos. 5,733,600, 6,053,889, and 5,899,880, the disclosures of which are expressly incorporated herein in their entirety. Since the drug in powder form accounts for less than 1% of the volume of the drug in liquid form, it is also desirable to adapt powder syringes for use in accordance with the present invention. Typically, but not exclusively, the possible range of particle sizes for a powder drug is typically no more than 50 microns compared to the 500 micron diameter size of a syringe needle. In other words, vaccines in powder form, such as recombinant DNA-based vaccines, including hepatitis B and HIV vaccines, and other powder form drugs used to treat influenza, tetanus, erectile dysfunction, allergies, pain, cancer, etc. being considered. These powdered substances may be mixed with a small amount (eg, about 1-10%) of sterile water or other physiologically acceptable diluents to form a paste or suspension. It is therefore within the purview of a person of ordinary skill in the art to modify a powder syringe with a protective cap and/or protective film in accordance with the present invention.
图2示出了本发明的另一个实施例。所示注射器组件10具有一个隔板16和一个衬套26。衬套26可以适当地制出一个衬套储存器27。衬套26还具有一个衬套远端小孔28。衬套26可以适当地与隔板16安装在一起,这样,在注射过程中或注射完成后,衬套26提供一种对防止回溅的额外好处。衬套26可以适当地安装在隔板16上,这样,衬套26用于在具体注射形式(肌内注射、皮下注射或真皮内注射)中帮助适当地拉伸皮肤。正如在作为并不对实施例构成限制的例子的具体情况所示,保护层14通常部分地或全部地设置在隔板16与注射器小孔22之间。在这种设置中,射流从注射器小孔22射出,穿透保护层14,经过隔板小孔20和衬套远端小孔28射出以撞击皮肤12。皮肤的碎屑将回溅在衬套26上,而任何飞入衬套远端小孔28的碎屑将很可能被隔板16所阻挡。在碎屑的轨道允许碎屑通过隔板小孔20的情况下,碎屑将撞击保护层14的远端表面29。Figure 2 shows another embodiment of the invention. The
在这方面,注射器小孔22得以受到保护以避免污染。击中保护层远端表面29的碎屑,将很可能坠落在储存器27中并聚集在那里。当需要时,衬套26可以适当地安装在隔板16内。这种设置衬套的方式的一个优点在于装置的易处理性。至于设置的布局,注射器小孔22可以离开皮肤12一段距离。例如,可以邻近皮肤(这时,没有使用隔板或衬套,而保护层14是直接设置在注射器18上),或者离开皮肤数毫米,例如离开2-15mm。自然,所选择的距离将影响射流的能量。理想的是,注射器小孔22距皮肤12的距离选择要考虑到这一点。在某些设置中,隔板邻近皮肤的表面可以离开皮肤几毫米,例如2-15mm,最好是2-7mm。衬套小孔28的直径因此也可设置成0.001mm或者更大。不过,在一个商业实施例中,衬套26、隔板16和保护层14一旦被污染就作为一个组件废弃。In this regard, the
图3表示本发明的另一个实施例。所示出的是隔板16、衬套26、保护层14和注射器18。在这种设置中,隔板16适当地提供一个暴露在可能回溅区域的较大表面面积。衬套26还适于使回溅污染最小。例如,衬套26具有一个衬套内表面30和一个衬套外表面32。如图中虚线所示,衬套26可设置成形成“翼”,其中,衬套26将与隔板16相互合作。隔板16具有与衬套26合作的隔板内表面34。如此实施例所示,衬套外表面32与隔板内表面34合作。衬套26的翼彼此接近以形成一个衬套近侧小孔36。在此实施例中,任何进入衬套远端小孔28的回溅皮肤碎屑,将很可能击中衬套内表面30或隔板内表面34,或者击中保护层14的远端表面29。在衬套26设置成不具有翼的情况下,任何碎屑仍可击中衬套内表面30、隔板内表面34或保护层14的远端内表面29。Figure 3 shows another embodiment of the invention. Shown are the
图4示出了本发明的又一个实施例。所示出的是用虚线38表示的数个保护层14。在这个并不对实施例构成限制作用的例子中,所示保护层14覆盖隔板小孔20。保护层可以与隔板16制成一体,或可以单独贴在隔板16上。在此实施例中,可以移去的隔板16有利于处理。还示出其具有多个保护层。通常可以发现保护层邻近皮肤,与衬套远端小孔28对准,邻近衬套远端小孔28,远离隔板16,远离隔板小孔20,与隔板小孔20对准,或邻近隔板小孔20。保护层的数目可以选择成使射流能量最大以实现穿透的目的,但使可能的回溅污染最小。图4还示出的是组件,其中衬套26和隔板16均设置在注射器组件18内。这里使用了多个保护层,这些保护层可以是粘接、热密封或者夹放保护层。Figure 4 shows yet another embodiment of the invention.

如图4A所示,应当指出,在此的任何实施例中,保护层14或保护膜不需要是单独件。相反,它可以与一种元件诸如隔膜制成一体。例如,保护层可以是隔板16的一部分,其中,将要被射流刺破的区域在注射过程中适当地暴露出来。例如,如果隔板是用塑料制成,于是,用于设置保护层的区域可以与隔板制成一体,但略微“降”低一点,使其制成更薄或更适于容易地穿孔。在又一个实施例中,保护层可以单独地制成,然后以某种方式粘接在一种元件上,例如粘接在隔板16上。在图4A所示诸实施例中最下面的另一个实施例中,也可使用数层薄膜(如图中虚线所示)。As shown in Figure 4A, it should be noted that in any of the embodiments herein, the
图5示出了本发明的又一个实施例。隔板16设置成具有数个隔板腿40。隔板腿40可以适当地与中间件42相合作。中间件42具有一个近端和一个远端,这样,各种元件可以设置在任一端或者两端。在这个并不对实施例构成限制的具体例子中,中间件42具有贯通的中间件小孔44。中间件小孔44可以由一个或多个中间件延伸部46形成。致于在此所述的任何小孔,小孔的尺寸和形状可能决定潜在的回溅污染和对射流能量的干扰。中间件42可以通过中间件连接器48与注射器18和/或隔板16和/或衬套26连接。中间件连接器48可以包括任何装置,以将一个件设置在另一个件上,并可以进一步包括摩擦连接安装、带槽反锥连接安装或螺纹连接安装。Figure 5 shows yet another embodiment of the present invention. The
因此,当药物从药物小瓶50被抽取时,药物被吸入注射器室52,其中,注射系统于是使药物通过注射器通道24,经过注射器小孔22进入中间件42,再经过中间件小孔44并随后经过各种远端元件。如图5所示,药物射出中间件小孔44后,将穿透保护层14,并随后通过隔板小孔20进入隔板16,随后通过衬套储存器27,通过衬套远端小孔28,随后撞击皮肤。皮肤碎屑如果具有正确的轨迹,可能进入衬套26-隔板16组件。碎屑既可以撞击隔板16,诸如撞击隔板回溅防护器54或衬套26本身,或者可能撞击保护层远端表面29。在碎屑具有足够能量再次刺破保护层14的情况下,碎屑于是将撞击中间件42,例如撞击中间件延伸件46。这样,注射器尖被污染的唯一方式是如果碎屑以如此精确的轨迹进入中间件42,即经过小孔44并直接击中注射器小孔22。不过,尽管在图5中没有示出,可以沿衬套26、隔板16或中间件42的不同区段(stages)设置数个保护层14。中间件还可以包括可选择的中间件通道56,此通道与大气和中间件腔57流体连通。这就允许中间件腔57中的压力平衡,并允许在中间件腔57中的任何碎屑被排出。致于尺寸,中间件通道可以接近任何尺寸,但大约为1mm。Thus, when medication is withdrawn from the
因此,注射器组件10使用各种元件提高对污染的防范。应当指出,在此所述的任何及全部实施例中,对于实现本发明没有哪个的元件是至关重要的或必须的。例如,图5所示实施例可以设置成使其并不具有一个衬套26、一个隔板16、一个保护层14或中间件46。在图5中,增加衬套26和隔板16提供了额外的好处。Accordingly,
图6示出了本发明的又一个实施例。在此实施例中,衬套26充当多种角色。第一,衬套26设置了一个衬套连接器60,只作为例子在此示出的是螺纹连接安装。中间件42设置了中间件远端连接器62,只作为例子在此示出的是螺纹连接器。因此,中间件远端连接器62与衬套连接器60相合作,以提供一种可拆卸装置。衬套26适当地提供与隔板16(未示出)相同的特征,其中,它也可以适当地具有一个衬套回溅防护器64。虽然所示保护层14邻近衬套26,中间件42还可以包括一个中间件保护层66,该保护层沿中间件42设置在任何部位。此中间件保护层66用虚线表示,或者远离中间件小孔44,并与小孔44对准,或者接近小孔44。关于这一点,中间件保护层66远离注射器小孔22。在注射操作中,进入衬套26的碎屑将很可能撞击衬套回溅防护器64、保护层14、中间件延伸件46或中间件保护层66。在这方面,各组成部分的可拆卸性得到提高,其中,中间件内表面68通常保持清洁,其中,绝大部分碎屑停留在衬套26内或撞击保护层14、66。Figure 6 shows yet another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, bushing 26 serves multiple roles. First, the
