Definitions
- the present invention relates to skin pricking apparatus and in particular, though not necessarily, to a skin pricking apparatus for use in providing a sample of blood.
- lancets In order to avoid infection and contamination, lancets are preferably intended for single use and are disposable. They must therefore be compact to allow users to carry multiple lancets on their person, and cheap to manufacture.
- a number of disposable lancet devices are currently on the market. These include the UnauerTM manufactured and marketed by Owen Mumford Ltd (Woodstock, UK).
- the current designs comprise a moulded plastics casing within which is mounted a short, spring-loaded needle. A trigger is formed in the casing which, when depressed, releases the lancet causing the tip to be fired out through an opening in the casing.
- Some of the current designs require a user to preload or cock the spring prior to firing.
- the lancet devices are supplied already cocked. It is also generally necessary for users to remove a cap from the front of the device or the needle tip prior to firing. Users must therefore perform at least two steps, and sometimes three, in order to perform the blood sampling procedure.
- Embodiments of the present invention provide a lancet device which can be fired in an essentially one-step process. Nonetheless, accidental firing is unlikely, and the delivery of operable devices to users is ensured. Moreover, lancet devices embodying the invention are of relatively simple construction and have may have a lower component count than conventional designs.
- said lancet retaining means comprises cooperating components on the casing and lancet. More preferably, these components comprise a first surface in which is formed a protrusion or recess and a second surface on which is formed a protrusion.
- the first and second surfaces may be provided on the inside of the casing and on the lancet respectively, or vice versa.
- the surfaces may be provided with a plurality of interengaging structural features.
- said firing button is provided with an abutment surface arranged in use to contact a surface of the lancet in order to transfer said user applied force. More preferably, said surfaces are oriented obliquely with respect to the direction of travel of the lancet through the casing. This angle between the surfaces and this direction may be in the range 25-65 degrees, more preferably, 40- 50 degrees, and more preferably still 45 degrees.
- said firing button is moveable upon the application of a user force in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of travel of the lancet through the casing.
- the firing button is formed integrally with the casing.
- the apparatus comprises biasing means coupled between the lancet and the casing for biasing the lancet to a withdrawn position within the casing, the spring being extended by the application of said driving force to the lancet.
- Said biasing means may be a platform spring, moulded integrally with the casing and firing button.
- the lancet comprises a plastics body and a lancet needle embedded at one end within the body. More preferably, the lancet body is molded integrally with the casing. More preferably, the lancet body is molded integrally with the platform spring.
- the lancet needle is shielded by a protective cover. More preferably, this cover is a moulded flexible plastics sheath, e.g. of thermoplastic elastomer.
- the firing button comprises means for latching the button into a depressed position following depression and firing of the button, in order to prevent reuse of the apparatus and to provide a visual indication that the device has been used.
- the latching means is a latch arranged to engage a lip formed in an opening in the casing.
- a skin pricking apparatus comprising a casing, a lancet located within the casing and comprising a lancet driver plate, and a firing button resiliently coupled to the casing and comprising a lancet driver member, whereby depression of the firing button brings the lancet driver member into contact with the lancet driver plate and transfers a user applied force from the firing button to the lancet, the apparatus further comprising cooperating features on the casing and the lancet which substantially prevent movement of the lancet through the casing until the user applied force exceeds a predefined threshold force.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a single use lancet device
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of a moulded component used to form a casing of the lancet device of Figure 1;
- this comprises a trigger button 9 which is free on three sides but which is integral with the body of the casing on a fourth side, i.e. the side closest to the rear of the device.
- the trigger button 9 is able to flex at the point of attachment to the casing body so that it can be pressed downward (as viewed in Figure 1) by finger pressure.
- a lancet driver 10 Depending from the lower surface of the trigger button (again as viewed in Figure 1) are a lancet driver 10 and a latch 11.
- a blocking rib 12 depends from the inner surface of the upper casing section.
- a corresponding blocking rib 13 depends from the inner surface of the lower casing section.
- a pair of lancet guide rails 14a, 14b are formed on the inner surface of the lower casing section.
- a lancet 15 is provided by the lancet body 7 and a lancet needle 16 which is embedded at one end in the body 7.
- An angled drive plate 17 of the lancet body 7 provides a surface for engaging the lancet driver 10 as will be described below.
- a sharpened tip 18 projects outwardly from the lancet body 7 and, when the device is assembled, is aligned with the opening 8 formed in the end of the casing.
- the exposed portion of the needle 16 including the tip 18 is overmolded with a flexible and elastic plastics cover 19, e.g.
- thermoplastic elastomer such as SANTOPRENE or EVOPRENE
- the material may be polyurethane or polyurethane foam, silicon rubber, or liquid silicon rubber
- the cover 19 has an enlarged, generally frustoconical shaped, head 20, which covers the tip of the needle (this feature is preferred, but not essential).
- the overmolding narrows in a stepwise manner to provide a narrow sleeve 21 which covers the remainder of the needle 16.
- the overmolding also covers the end surface of the body 7. The overmolding ensures sterility of the needle prior to use.
- Flexible fingers 22a,22b extend outwardly from the upper and lower surfaces of the lancet body, partially overlapping the lancet needle 16.
- Ribs 23a,23b are formed on the outwardly facing surfaces of respective fingers.
- the casing comprises a number of components which mate together once the casing is folded, and which allow the various components of the lancet to be secured in place.
- the ribs 23a,23b on the lancet body 7 locate directly behind the blocking ribs 12 and 13 formed on the upper and lower casing sections, and the lancet body locates between the guide rails 14a, 14b.
- the platform spring 5 is not subject to any compression or expansion force.
- the lancet driver 10 sits above and out of contact with the angled drive plate 17 of the lancet body 7. This configuration is illustrated in the vertical cross- sectional view of Figure 4.
- the trigger button 9 is in its resting position, with the lancet driver 10 sitting above, but not in contact with, the drive plate 17 of the lancet body 7.
- a user holds the lancet device in one hand, with his or her thumb placed over the firing button 9.
- the end of the device at which the opening 8 is located is then brought into contact with the area of skin to be pricked, e.g. the pad of a finger on the user's other hand.
- the lancet 15 travels through the casing until the head 20 of the overmolded section on the needle 16 contacts the inner surface of the opening 8 in the casing, surrounding the opening. This prevents further progress of the head. However, a force is still being exerted on the back of the lancet by the lancet driver 10, causing the needle tip 18 to be driven through the head 20.
- the sleeve 21 tends to concertina around the needle 16.
- the needle tip 18 is driven out through the opening 8 in the casing, and pierces the skin of the user. This is the configuration illustrated in Figure 5. (In an alternative arrangement, the opening 14 may be large enough to allow passage of the head 29, in which case the user's skin provides the stop surface for the head.)
- the dimensions of the lancet device are such that, at some point in the travel of the lancet 15 prior to the needle tip 18 exiting the opening 8, the drive plate 17 of the lancet body 7 has moved sufficiently to separate from the lancet driver 10. However, the momentum of the lancet 15 is sufficient to propel the needle tip out of the opening into contact with the user's skin. Once this kinetic energy has been spent, the platform spring 5 will begin to contract, pulling the lancet 15 and with it the needle tip 18 back inside the casing. It is noted that the overmolded cover 19 on the lancet needle tends to remain in a partially compressed state, and does not expand to recover the needle tip 18. This used configuration is illustrated in Figure 6.
- the purpose of the latch 11 formed on the inner surface of the trigger button 9 is to prevent reuse of the lancet device. As is seen in Figure 6, the latch 11 slides across the opposed surface 24 of the upper casing section 3, before snapping behind the lower lip 25 of that surface. The resistance presented between the latch and the wall surface is easily overcome by the force which the user applies to release the lancet 15 from within the casing.
- the lancet body may be molded as a separate component with the needle embedded in the body to form the lancet, the lancet being placed inside the casing during assembly.
- the platform spring 5 may also be a separate component, or could be molded integrally with the lancet body or the casing.
