<留置針の概要>
図1は、本発明の実施形態に係る留置針1の側面図を示している。図2は、図1における留置針1のA-A方向断面図を示している。図3は、図1に示す留置針1の図2におけるB-B方向断面図を示している。
次に、図2及び図3を用いて留置針1の内部の詳細を説明する。図2に示すように、外針ハブ4の本体部40の先端側には、外針3の基端側を保持する外針保持部401を備える。そして、外針保持部401の先端には、穿刺方向へ開口する先端開口402を備える。外針3は、その先端が先端開口402から突出するように外針保持部401に保持される。外針3の基端側は、外針3と外針ハブ4との間をかしめるかしめピン403によって固定される。
図4は、図3に示す断面図の主要部を拡大して示す図である。図5は、図1のD-D方向断面図である。図6は、外針ハブ4、止血弁6、止血弁ホルダ5の分解斜視図である。軸線L1は、外針ハブ4の本体部40の軸方向を示す線であり、内針2が外針3に挿入された状態では、内針2の軸線に一致する。
図4に示すように、外針ハブ4には、外針3の中空部分31に連通する中空部分400が設けられている。中空部分400から軸線L1方向の後端側の中空部分405と、中空部分400から軸線L1方向に対して傾斜する中空部分410とが、中空部分400を介して互いに連通している。
また、止血弁6が外針ハブ4に対して適切に位置決めされた場合には、止血弁6の段部62のスリット64を挟んで対向する部位62aと62bの間隔は、開口部404の対応する部位の内径よりも若干大きく設定されており、これらの部位62a及び62bを含む止血弁6の部分は、開口部404に対してしまりばめとなっている。このように設定することにより、外針ハブ4の開口部404により、止血弁6のスリット64が閉じる方向に圧縮する力が作用するので、内針2を抜去する際及び抜去後におけるスリット64の弾性復帰力が高まり、止血弁6の封止性を確保することができる。
なお、上記実施形態において、開口部404の内周によって、止血弁6は上述のように内径側に圧縮されるが、圧縮の態様は上述のものに限らない。例えば、止血弁6の中央基端面66が軸方向に対して垂直になるように、止血弁6の肉厚を厚く形成し、外針ハブ4から径方向内側に圧縮をかけることで止血弁6の封止性を確保することもできる。また、止血弁6の肉厚を更に厚くして、圧縮をかけずとも止血弁6の封止性を確保することもできる。また、軸線方向に傾斜する傾斜面を止血弁ホルダ5の外針ハブ4との当接部位に設け、外針ハブ4内面に当該傾斜面と係合する傾斜面を設けることで、ガイド部及び被ガイド部を構成し、外針ハブ4と止血弁ホルダ5の軸周り方向を規定の方向としてもよい。
このようにすれば、止血弁6及び止血弁ホルダ5を外針ハブ4に取り付ける際の、外針ハブ4に対する、止血弁6及び止血弁ホルダ5の軸線L1回りの軸周り方向を所定の方向とすることができる。すなわち、止血弁6及び止血弁ホルダの軸線L1周り方向を一定方向にガイドすることができ、これにより、止血弁ホルダ5に装着された止血弁6の軸線L1回り方向を規定することができる。上述のような、突起55a、突起55b、リブ56と、開口部42a、開口部42b、切り欠き43等の回転防止機構を設けることにより、外針ハブ4に対する、止血弁6及び止血弁ホルダ5の軸線L1回りの回転を防止することができる。なお、回転防止機構を、リブ56と切り欠き43のみによって構成するようにしてもよい。また、止血弁ホルダ5の突起55a、突起55bは、外針ハブ4の開口部42a、開口部42bと嵌合することによって、外針ハブ4に対する軸線L1方向の相対移動を規制するロック部を構成する。
上述の実施形態では、止血弁6及び止血弁ホルダ5を外針ハブ4に取り付ける際の回転防止機構を、止血弁ホルダ5と外針ハブ4とに設ける例について説明した。ここでは、止血弁ホルダ5に突起55a及び突起55b並びにリブ56を設け、外針ハブ4に開口部42a及び開口部42b並びに切り欠き43を設けている。これに対して、止血弁ホルダ5に開口部や切り欠き又は凹部を設け、外針ハブ4の中空部分405の内周面に突起やリブを設けるようにしてもよい。
上述の実施形態の変形例では、止血弁6の中央基端面66と止血弁ホルダ5先端の第1端面51aとが傾斜しており、止血弁6と止血弁ホルダ5の相対回転を規制した。しかし、止血弁6の中央基端面66と止血弁ホルダ5先端の第1端面51aとが傾斜していなくともよく、止血弁に切り欠きや凹部や凸部等を設けると共に当該切り欠きや凹部や凸部に係合する凸部等を止血弁ホルダに設けることで、相対回転を規制してもよい。また、止血弁6の円筒部60の内周面又は止血弁ホルダ5の小径部51の外周面のいずれか一方又は両方を粗面化することにより、止血弁6と止血弁ホルダ5の小径部51との間に摩擦力が作用するようにしてもよい。また、止血弁6と止血弁ホルダ5の小径部51とを、互いに摩擦力が生じるような材料で形成してもよい。止血弁6と止血弁ホルダ5の小径部51との間に摩擦力が生じる部材を介在させるようにしてもよい。接着剤で固着してもよい。なお、止血弁6と止血弁ホルダ5の小径部51との間に摩擦力の原因は、分子間力に限定されない。
図7及び図8を参照して、実施例1に対する変形例である変形例3に係る外針ハブ4及び止血弁ホルダ15について説明する。止血弁6並びに留置針の他の構成については、上述の実施形態と同様であるので、詳細な説明は省略する。実施例1と同様の構成については、同様な符号を用いる。
ここでは、外針ハブ4の開口部42a及び開口部42bが、ガイド部を構成する。そして、突起154a及び突起154bが被ガイド部を構成し、外針ハブ4の開口部42a及び開口部42bと、止血弁ホルダ5の突起154a及び突起154bが、回転防止機構を構成する。
また、止血弁ホルダ15の突起154a及び突起154bは、外針ハブ4に開口部42a及び開口部42bと嵌合することによって、外針ハブ4に対する軸線L1方向の相対移動を規制するロック部を構成する。なお、開口部42a及び開口部42bは外針ハブ4の外面に形成された凹部であってもよい。
図9及び図10を参照して、変形例4に係る外針ハブ4及び止血弁ホルダ25について説明する。止血弁6並びに留置針の他の構成については、上述の実施形態と同様であるので、詳細な説明は省略する。上述の実施形態と同様の構成については、同様な符号を用いる。
ここでは、外針ハブ4の開口部42a及び開口部42bが、ガイド部を構成する。そして、突起2512a及び突起2512bが被ガイド部を構成し、外針ハブ4の開口部42a及び開口部42bと、止血弁ホルダ5の突起2512a及び突起2512bが、回転防止機構を構成する。
また、止血弁ホルダ25の突起2512a及び突起2512bは、外針ハブ4の開口部42a及び開口部42bと嵌合することにより、外針ハブ4に対する軸線L1方向の相対移動を規制するロック部を構成する。
以下に、本発明の実施例2に係る留置針について説明する。実施例1と同様の構成については同様の符号を用いて詳細な説明は省略する。
ここでは、外針ハブ34の爪344a及び爪344bと止血弁ホルダ35のフランジ部353が、外針ハブに対する止血弁および止血弁ホルダの軸方向の相対位置を規定する。そして、突起343と凹部3571が外針ハブに対する止血弁および止血弁ホルダの軸周り方向の相対位置を規定する。即ち、突起343がガイド部を構成すると共にロック部を構成し、凹部3571が被ガイド部を構成し、両者が回転防止機構を構成する。
図13(A)~図13(D)を参照して、実施例2に対する変形例である変形例5に係る外針ハブ74及び止血弁ホルダ75について説明する。止血弁6並びに留置針の他の構成については、上述の実施例と同様であるので、詳細な説明は省略する。実施例2及び実施例1と同様の構成については、同様な符号を用いる。図13(A)は、変形例5に係る外針ハブ74に、止血弁6及び止血弁ホルダ75を組み付けた状態を示す平面図であり、図13(B)は、止血弁6及び止血弁ホルダ75が組み付けられた外針ハブ74のA-A方向断面図である。図13(C)は、変形例5に係る留置針において、外針ハブ74に、止血弁6及び止血弁ホルダ75を組み付けた状態を示す側面図であり、図13(B)は、止血弁6及び止血弁ホルダ75が組み付けられた外針ハブ74のB-B方向断面図である。
なお、変形例6に係る止血弁6の構成は、実施例2及び実施例1と同様である。
図14及び図15を参照して、実施例2に対する変形例である変形例6に係る外針ハブ84及び止血弁ホルダ85について説明する。止血弁6並びに留置針の他の構成については、上述の実施形態と同様であるので、詳細な説明は省略する。上述の実施形態と同様の構成については、同様な符号を用いる。
ここでは、外針ハブ84の爪344a及び爪344bが、ガイド部を構成する。そして、凹部855a及び凹部855bが被ガイド部を構成し、外針ハブ84の爪344a及び爪344bと、止血弁ホルダ85の凹部855a及び凹部855bが、回転防止機構を構成する。
また、止血弁ホルダ85の凹部855a及び凹部855bは、外針ハブ4の爪344a及び爪344bと嵌合することによって、外針ハブ4に対する軸線L1方向の相対移動を規制するロック部を構成する。
以下に、実施例1及び実施例2に対する変形例である変形例7について説明する。実施例1及び実施例2と同様の構成については同様の符号を用いて詳細な説明は省略する。
図16は、変形例7に係る止血弁6を取り付けた外針ハブ94の平面図である。図17は、変形例7に係る止血弁6を取り付けた外針ハブ94のC-C方向断面図である。
実施例1及び実施例2で説明したように、止血弁6を取り付けた止血弁ホルダ5を、外針ハブ4に取り付けるのではなく、図17に示すように、まず、止血弁6のみを外針ハブ94に取り付ける場合も考えられる。この場合には、図18A)~図18(C)に示すように、止血弁6に回転防止機構を設けることもできる。図18(A)~図18(C)は、図17のE-E方向断面における止血弁6と外針ハブ94とを示している。このように、止血弁6を外針ハブ94に取り付け、その後に止血弁ホルダ5を外針ハブ94に圧入して組み付けることもできるし、止血弁6を肉厚にして、止血弁ホルダ5を設けないこともできる。
以下に、実施例1及び実施例2に対する変形例である変形例8について説明する。実施例1及び実施例2と同様の構成については同様の符号を用いて詳細な説明は省略する。
図19は、変形例8に係る外針ハブ104、止血弁6及び止血弁ホルダ105の分解斜視図である。
図19に示すように、外針ハブ104の本体部40の後端側の外周面に、軸線L1回りの回転方向の相対的な位置関係を合わせるための表示45が付されている。そして、止血弁ホルダ105の拡径部52及び大径部53の外周面の対応する位置にも、軸線L1回りの回転方向の相対的な位置関係を合わせるための表示が付されている。止血弁6を取り付けた止血弁ホルダ105を、外針ハブ104に取り付ける際に、外針ハブ104の表示45の方向と、止血弁ホルダ105の表示57の方向とが一致するように、これらの表示45及び57を参照して外針ハブ104に対する止血弁ホルダ105の姿勢を維持しつつ、止血弁ホルダ105を外針ハブ104の後端側の開口部から圧入することにより、止血弁6及び止血弁ホルダ105の軸線L1回りの回転を防止することができる。すなわち、外針ハブ104の表示45により、止血弁ホルダ105の軸線L1回り方向を一定方向にガイドすることできる。このため、止血弁6の軸線L1回り方向を規定することができる。したがって、外針3から外針ハブ104内に流入した血液をスムーズに分岐部41へと移動させることができ、止血弁6付近での滞留を防止することができる。ここでは、外針ハブ104の表示45が、ガイド部を構成する。そして、止血弁ホルダ105の表示57が被ガイド部を構成する。外針ハブ104の表示45と、止血弁ホルダ105の表示57とが、回転防止機構を構成する。外針ハブ104の表示と位置合わせするための表示は、止血弁6の円筒部60の外周面に付してもよいし、止血弁6と止血弁ホルダ105の両方の外周面に付すようにしてもよい。
また、表示の内容は、文字、記号、図形等を用いることができ、作業者が認識できるものであれば形式は限定されない。また、表示は、プリント等により2次元的に表現されるものに限定されず、3次元的に表現されるものでもよい。
以下に、本発明の実施例3に係る留置針について説明する。実施例1及び2と同様の構成については、同様の符号を用いて説明を省略する。
留置針のうち、内針2及び内針ハブ21については、実施例1と同様であるため、説明を省略する。
実施例3では、止血弁26として、中央基端面166が軸線L1方向に直交する方向に形成されているが、実施例1及び実施例2並びにそれらの変形例の止血弁6のように中央基端面66が、軸線L1方向に対して傾斜し、第1端面61及び第2端面63と平行に形成されている場合にも適用できる。止血弁6については、中実部631から軸線L1方向の基端側に延びる円筒部60の内径側の全体が中空となっているが、円筒部60のうち、第1端面61の終点61aよりも先端側の部位を第1円筒部、終点61aから基端側に延びる部位を第2円筒部とする。このように定義される止血弁6の第2円筒部の長さを1mm以上、好ましくは2mm以上とし、また、第2円筒部に厚肉部を設ける。この場合には、止血弁ホルダ5、15、25、35、75、85、105の小径部51の軸線L1方向の長さも第2円筒部の軸線L1方向の長さに対応するものに設定される。これにより、止血弁6の段部62及び第1端面61と、外針ハブ34の開口部404及び段部406との間、さらには止血弁6の円筒部60と外針ハブ34の中空部分3405の内周面との間に、構成部品のガタや、位置ずれ、止血弁6の変形等により、間隙が生じても、中空部分400及び中空部分410を流れる流体が、止血弁6の厚肉部1602aを超えて基端側へと漏れ出ることを抑制することができる。ここでも、上述のように定義される第2円筒部が本発明の筒状部に対応する。
