DE202024001451U1 - Safe-Inject holder for syringes in use, with the possibility of attachment using suction cups to smooth surfaces and to standard plates of transport beds - Google Patents

Abstract

Holder for holding filled syringes which are inserted into tubes (1) and fixed there and whose contents can be seen when inserted, characterized in that the diameter of the tubes (1) is larger than that of the inserted syringes and also has sufficient space for the slats (3) connected within the tubes (1) and furthermore the tubes (1) have a viewing opening (2) which makes the contents of the syringes (sticker) visible.

Description

Introduction

Emergency medical services often require the intravenous or intramuscular administration of medication. The syringes are filled with the appropriate medication in advance, depending on the clinical picture, and are usually stored in the pockets of work clothes or equipment (trousers, jacket, bag). During the operation, there is a risk that the filled syringes will be damaged and thus no longer usable. In addition, unorganized and confusing storage can lead to time being lost during the operation.

Safe and structured storage of the filled syringes therefore facilitates handling during use, promotes the timing of operations and contributes to the safety of patients and emergency service personnel.

task

A holder is to be developed that can accommodate a conventional number of syringes with common diameters. The syringes must be fixed in the holder and must not move back and forth. At the same time, the syringes must be able to be pulled out of the holder with little effort and a simple mechanism. The contents of the syringes must be clearly visible when inserted.

The holder including syringes should be able to be attached as universally as possible, but especially to ambulances and transport stretchers.

A flexible material should be used for the holder, which is mechanically highly resilient and resistant to the conventional cleaning agents used in the emergency services.

Construction

The Safe-Inject syringe holder consists of several tubes (1) with different diameters that are lined up and connected to one another. The tubes (1) each have a viewing opening (2) on the front. At the top of the tubes (1) there are slats (3) that are aligned towards the center.

The Safe-Inject syringe holder can be attached to the back of the tubes (1). There are two ways of attaching it.

Openings (4) are provided for attaching two suction cups. Each of these consists of a cylinder with a vertical groove on the surface. Inside there is another, larger cylinder. The center of the two cylinders and that of the groove are congruent. There is a negative rectangle (7) through each of the openings for attaching the suction cups (4). This goes completely through the component and is open at the top and bottom.

Another option is to attach the Safe-Inject syringe holder to the standard rails of transport couches. For this purpose, a spring (6) is attached to the underside of the rear structure, the distance between which corresponds to that of the standard rail. To enable the holder to snap into place on the standard rail, a plateau (5) is attached at a distance equal to the height of the standard rail. Due to the flexible material used, the holder can be attached without any great resistance.

The Safe-Inject syringe holder is made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). It is a flexible material that can withstand high mechanical loads and can be stretched or pressed without permanent deformation. It is characterized by high elasticity and durability.

TPU has a high abrasion resistance and is resistant to a wide range of oils and fats as well as to most aliphatic solvents.

function

The drawn-up syringes are inserted from above into the tube (1) provided according to their diameter. Due to the slats (3) and the corresponding material properties, the syringes are fixed in place and can no longer move or fall out. However, the syringes can be pulled out with little resistance.

The syringes are marked with stickers on the surface according to their contents. The stickers can be seen through the viewing opening (2) on the front of the tubes (1).

opening for attaching the suction cups (4)

There is a horizontal hole through the nipples of the suction cups used. A metal pin is inserted through this. Both can now be inserted together through the cylinder groove into the Safe-Inject syringe holder (4). By turning the suction cup by 90°, it is now mechanically connected to the Safe-Inject syringe holder. This can now be attached using the suction cups can be fixed to smooth surfaces. By turning the suction cup back to its original position, it can be removed together with the pin.

Attachment to the standard rail of the transport bed

Using the spring (6) on the underside of the rectangular structure, the bracket can be hooked onto the standard rail of a transport bed. The bracket can now be pressed against the rail with light pressure and is fixed or clamped there thanks to the plateau (5).

cleaning

The Safe-Inject syringe holder can be cleaned with the conventional cleaning and disinfection agents used in the emergency services. For the drying process, a drain (7) is provided inside the opening for the suction cup, which allows the cleaning fluid to drain away quickly and easily.
