Protective device for a needle
First Claim
1. A protective device for a needle, more particularly for a catheter introducing needle or so-called cannula needle whereby this protective device comprises protective means which slidably cooperate with the needle, characterized in that said protective means comprise a combination of at least, on the one hand, safety means having at least one part which, upon retraction of the needle through the protective means, is placed in front of the needle point and prevents the re-use of the needle, and, on the other hand, blocking means which cooperate with the safety means and which, when the protective device passes from a non-operative state into an operative state, release said safety means from a blocked position into an unblocked position.

17. A protective device for a needle, more particularly for a catheter introducing needle, whereby this protective device comprises protective means which slidably cooperate with the needle, characterized in that said protective means comprise one or more safety tongues which upon retraction of the needle are automatically positioned in front of the needle point, thereby preventing the needle from being re-used, whereby these tongues upon the complete retraction movement of the needle remain at a distance from the needle.
-
18. A protective device for a needle, more particularly for a catheter introducing needle, whereby this protective device comprises a hollow body forming a housing, which body slidably cooperates with the needle such that the needle can be retracted into a position in which the needle point is located in said hollow body, characterized in that said protective device comprises a scraping ring which cooperates with the needle, whereby this scraping ring is located inside the housing, at a distance from the rear side of the rear wall of said housing.
-
19. A needle or safety cannula needle assembly, characterized in that it is provided with a protective device comprising a protective means which slidably cooperates with the needle, characterized in that said protective means comprises a combination of at least, on the one hand, safety means having at least one part which, upon retraction of the needle through the protective means, is placed in front of the needle point and prevents the re-use of the needle, and, on the other hand, blocking means which cooperates with the safety means and which, when the protective device passes from a non-operative state into an operative state, releases said safety means from a blocked position into an unblocked position.
-
20. A catheter introducing needle comprising a protective device including a protective means for slidably cooperating with the needle and the protective means including one or more safety tongues wherein upon retraction of the needle are automatically positioned in front of a needle point of the needle for preventing the needle from being re-used and the tongues upon the complete retraction movement of the needle remain at a distance from the needle.
-
21. A catheter introducing needle comprising:
-
a protective device including a hollow body forming a housing, the body slidably cooperating with the needle such that the needle can be retracted into a position in which the needle point is located in the hollow body, and a scraping ring which cooperates with the needle and is located inside the housing at a distance from the rear side of a rear wall of the housing.
