Definitions
- This invention relates to a percutaneous needle with a distal end portion which can be attached to a receptacle such as a syringe (called herein the connector portion) .
- the connector portion has an arm with lumen which communicates with a common passage from the receptacle to the needle.
- the arm has a one-way valve which prevents flow of fluid from the needle through the arm which acts as a conduit for insertion of a wire into the channel of the needle that has been inserted into a blood vessel.
- the connector portion having the arm may be provided as a separable adapter for use with a conventional needle hub or may be a part of the needle assembly.
- Insertion of catheters and similar devices into the blood vessels for purposes of treatment or diagnosis plays a critical role in medical practice today.
- Present practices in radiology, in treatment and in diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, and in oncology and neurology require the entry of catheters into blood vessels.
- One of the more common uses of such catheters is in angioplasty wherein a balloon is inserted into the arterial vessel to dilate narrowed vessels.
- a guide wire is passed through a needle which has been inserted into the blood vessel.
- a catheter is then threaded on the guide wire into the blood vessel.
- the syringe is disassociated from the connector portion before the guide wire is inserted through the needle into the blood vessel.
- U.S. Patent 4,946,449 which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, discloses a urethral catheter system having a mitral valve in a one-way passage which prevents flow of fluid from the bladder from flowing downstream, but will allow fluid from down-stream to pass through the valve.
- U. S. Patent 5,542,933 which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, discloses and claims an apparatus having a valve for controlling flow of fluids through a conduit such as a catheter.
- the valve means is a block which obstructs the flow through the conduit as the block is adjusted. There is no passage for admission of a wire.
- U.S. Patent 5,827,218 teaches a suction pool tip having separate passages for irrigation liquid flow and for suctioned flow. Flow through these passages is controlled by valve plungers. The apparatus is not appropriate for use in inserting a guide wire through a needle.
- Needle assemblies having an arm with a rubber septum which is penetrated by a needle for purposes of instilling medicaments through a needle are known.
- a septum is not appropriate for use with a guide wire, since the wire must, of necessity, have a flexible tip that will not damage a blood vessel.
- Such a wire is not sufficiently sharp or hard to insert though a septum, since a wire that would readily penetrate the septum would damage the blood vessel .
- This invention provides a needle assembly comprising a needle portion and a connector portion, said connector portion having a first entry, a second entry, and a third entry, all entries leading to a common passage, said common passage being conical in shape, to provide means of guidance of a linear object inserted through said second entry toward said third entry, and wherein said first and said third entry are positioned approximately opposite each other while said second entry admits entrance to an arm which projects from the common passage at an angle of 20° to 60° from a line which would pass through said first and second entries.
- the connector portion having the common passage may be separable from the needle portion.
- Fig. 1 shows, at 1 (a) , the presently used percutaneous entry needle and, at 1 (b) , the instantly claimed invention wherein there are three entries into a common passage, wherein one entry provides access to a needle.
- 1 (c) shows a close-up of the connection system.
- 1 (d) and 1 (c) show the valve.
- Fig. 2 shows an adapter with three entries.
- the instant invention provides a needle (7) attached to a connector portion which is, or can be, attached to a receptacle such as syringe.
- the connector portion has an arm with a lumen or channel which acts as a conduit from the exterior environment into the needle portion (7) which provides means for entering into a blood vessel.
- the channel of the arm is divided by a valve (5) so that fluid (blood) flowing through the needle and common passage can not escape through the distal entry of the arm.
- the valve prevents flow of blood back through the distal end of the arm, it will allow a guide wire to enter into the lumen of the needle already in place in the blood vessel.
- the apparatus may also consist of a needle with a conventional hub and a separable connector portion or adapter having three entries, said connector having a common conduit and which, when assembled for use, has a first entry into a receptacle, a second entry into an arm and a third entry into a conduit such as a needle wherein the arm is configured so that the proximal end of the channel or lumen of said arm communicates with a common passage from the receptacle and the needle or other conduit, said common passage having a conical shape so that it narrows in such a manner that a guide wire inserted into the second entry is readily guided toward the narrow segment of the cone toward the third entry toward the needle.
- Figure 1 (a) shows the prior art needle and adapter with a syringe.
- the assembled apparatus consists of a receptacle portion (1) , such as a syringe, a connecting portion (2) having a common passage (10) from a first conduit to the receptacle portion, a first entry (3) for attachment to the receptacle portion of the apparatus and a second entry (4) into a second conduit (9) through which a flexible, linear object such as a guide wire can be inserted into and through the lumen of a conduit such as a needle and wherein the second entry has a one-way valve (5) , such as a flap valve, which prevents backup of fluids such as blood through said second entry.
- a receptacle portion (1) such as a syringe
- a connecting portion (2) having a common passage (10) from a first conduit to the receptacle portion
- a first entry (3) for attachment to the receptacle portion of the apparatus
- the third entry (8) opens to the first conduit such as a needle that is inserted into the blood vessel.
- Figure 1 (c) shows an embodiment wherein the connecting portion containing the first, second and third entry are an integral part of a needle assembly appropriate for insertion into a blood vessel.
- Figure 1 (d) shows the valve (5) and a valve opening (6) .
- the second conduit (9) extends at an angle (15) of about 20° to 60°, preferably about 25° to 45°, in relation to the a line drawn through the center of the passage leading from the syringe to the needle or first conduit. When the first conduit or needle has been inserted into the blood vessel the valve prevents blood from flowing out of the second entry.
- the connecting portion has a common passage (10) with an over-all cone-like shape to facilitate appropriate guidance of the wire (18) toward the lumen of the first conduit.
- the slant which forms the conical shape of the inside of the common passage is at an angle (16) of about 15° to 45° (preferably 20° to 40°) from a line parallel with a line which would pass though the common passage from needle and into the receptacle such as a syringe.
- the instant invention provides distinctive improvements over the prior art.
- the first conduit is a needle that is inserted into the blood vessel and the receptacle portion is a syringe.
- the receptacle portion is a syringe.
- the needle with connector When the usual needle with connector is used, there is usually a considerable amount of blood which flows out through the passage which leads to the syringe when the syringe is disconnected from the needle connector portion in order to insert a guide wire. This is particularly true if the needle has been placed in an artery. It is usually necessary to have a second person available during this transfer to minimize loss of blood after the syringe has been removed and during the time the guide wire is being inserted into the needle.
- the instant apparatus allows the insertion of the wire without disconnecting the syringe, thus protecting the medical personnel from exposure to the blood of the patient. Using the device as taught, it is possible to minimize exposure of both the patient and the care- giver to infections.
- a separate adapter having three entries, a first entry for attachment to a receptacle such as a syringe (11) , a second entry into the adapter which comes in at a slant (12) and a third entry (13) for connection to a first conduit.
- the method of the invention may be practiced using standard equipment such as needles, syringes, catheters and wires found in most health care facilities.
- the adapter portion can be designes as a separate device, the use of a separable adapter will tend to increase the length of the apparatus as a whole, thus rendering the use of the assembly less efficient.
- valves that may be particularly useful are tricuspid or mitral valves
- the needles and adapters of the invention may be made of any of the materials used in production of such equipments, including glass, plastics, metals, elastomer or rubber. The properties required with depend on the intended use of the equipment.
