Abstract

A method, apparatus and kit for an intraosseous infusion of a body is disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a trocar, a triple lumen, and a handle. In another embodiment, a method is disclosed, the method including the steps of inserting the trocar and lumen, removing the trocar, inserting a triple lumen, and infusing the body with fluids.

Claims

1. An apparatus for the intraosseus infusion of fluids into a body, the apparatus comprising:

a trocar;

an outer cannula encompassing at least a portion of the trocar, the outer cannula having a pre-selected length;

a handle connected to the outer cannula; and

a means for securing the apparatus to the body, the securing means being connected to the handle.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the trocar is movable relative to the outer cannula.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the trocar is configured to be removed from contact with the outer cannula.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a collar mounted on the outer cannula.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the collar is configured to be positioned adjacent a bone of a body.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the securing means comprises at least one flap.

7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the flap has an aperture formed therein for receiving a suture.

8. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the flap is configured to be sutured to the body.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a lumen configured to be inserted in the outer cannula.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the lumen and trocar are exchangeable.

11. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the lumen comprises at least three fluid conduits.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein each of the at least three fluid conduits has a diameter, and one of conduit diameters is larger than the other conduit diameters.

13. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the lumen has a luer portion.

14. An kit for use in the intraosseus infusion of fluids into a body, the kit comprising:

a trocar;

an outer cannula encompassing at least a portion of the trocar;

a handle connected to the outer cannula; and

a lumen capable of being inserted in the outer cannula.

15. The kit of claim 14, wherein the trocar is movable relative to the outer cannula.

16. The kit of claim 14, wherein the trocar is configured to be removed from contact with the outer cannula and the lumen is configured to be positioned in place of the trocar.

17. The kit of claim 14, further comprising a collar mounted on the outer cannula.

18. The kit of claim 17, wherein the collar is configured to be positioned adjacent a bone of a body.

19. The kit of claim 14, wherein the securing means comprises at least one flap.

20. The kit of claim 19, wherein the flap has an aperture formed therein for receiving a suture.

21. The kit of claim 19, wherein the flap is configured to be sutured to the body.

22. The kit of claim 14, wherein the lumen and trocar are exchangeable.

23. The kit of claim 14, wherein the lumen comprises at least three fluid conduits.

24. The kit of claim 23, wherein each of the at least three fluid conduits has a diameter, and one of conduit diameters is larger than the other conduit diameters.

25. The kit of claim 14, wherein the lumen has a luer portion.

26. The kit of claim 14, further comprising a means for securing the outer cannula to the body.
