Abstract

Ergonomic syringe combination with a cannula body with a belonging plastic cannula and a needle body with a belonging puncture needle, which is surrounded by the plastic cannula and a grip, which allows a thumb/index finger grip close to and preferably a bit ahead of the point of the puncture needle, intended for the establishment of blood vessel access. The combination comprises two parts. One is a combination of a cannula body and a needle body where the needle body is surrounded by a tubular sleeve with an outgrowth used for mounting the other part. This one is a grip part with plates fitted over the outgrowth. The grip part can be rotated and angled in relation to the combination of cannula body and needle body and its puncture needle, to enable adaptation of the combination to each operator'"'"'s own preferences with respect to right- respectively left-handedness and hand size.

Claims

1. Ergonomic syringe combination, comprising a cannula body that includes a cannula and a needle body that includes a puncture needle having a point intended for the establishment of blood vessel access, with the needle body surrounded by the cannula, a grip part which allows a thumb/index finger grip adjacent the point of the puncture needle, and two further parts, a sleeve surrounding the cannula body and needle body and including an outgrowth for mounting the grip part in a manner such that the grip part can be rotated and angled in relation to the cannula body, needle body and puncture needle to enable adaptation of the combination to each operator'"'"'s own preferences with respect to right- and left-handedness and hand size.

2. The syringe combination of claim 1, wherein the grip part includes at least one plate operatively associated with the outgrowth for mounting of the same.

3. The syringe combination of claim 1, wherein the outgrowth includes an upstanding plate and the grip part includes two plates operatively associated with the outgrowth plate for mounting of the same.

4. The syringe combination of claim 1, wherein the outgrowth is provided with a slit to facilitate mounting of the grip part.

5. The syringe combination of claim 1, wherein the cannula body includes an upper port that is provided with a self-sealing hygiene barrier.

6. The syringe combination of claim 1, wherein the cannula body includes an upper port that is designed to carry a stopper for sealing the port when the needle has been withdrawn after puncture of a blood vessel.

7. The syringe combination of claim 1, wherein the cannula body includes an upper port that is provided with an index for reading against a scale carried by the tubular sleeve.

8. The syringe combination of claim 1, which further comprises a peg for engaging and locking the tubular sleeve outgrowth to prevent movement in relation to the needle body.

9. The syringe combination of claim 1, wherein the cannula is made of plastic.

10. The syringe combination of claim 1, wherein the sleeve is tubular.

11. The syringe combination of claim 1, wherein the tubular sleeve is made of plastic.

12. The syringe combination of claim 1, wherein the grip part extends slightly ahead of the point of the puncture needle.
