Abstract

A device for inserting a cannula into tissue, including a cannula, a protective element which can accommodate said cannula, an operating element for moving the cannula out of the protective element, and a holder fixedly connected to the cannula. The invention encompasses a system for connecting a liquid supply to the cannula.

Claims (42)

1. An insertion device, comprising:

a cannula;

a protective element for accommodating the cannula in a retracted position;

an energy storing element for expelling the cannula out of said protective element; and

a base body removably connected to the protective element;

wherein in the retracted position the cannula is positioned spaced apart from the base body; and

wherein when the energy storing element is released, the cannula is expelled from the protective element through an opening in the base body and is secured to the base body and wherein the cannula and base body, together, can then be disconnected from the protective element.

2. The device as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a holder configured to be fixedly connected to the cannula, said holder comprising a connecting element that connects with the base body upon expulsion of the cannula from the protective element through the opening in the base body.

3. The device as set forth in claim 2 , wherein a sealing element is provided in the holder.

4. The device as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a needle surrounded by the cannula.

5. The device as set forth in claim 4 , wherein said needle can be inserted completely into the protective element.

6. The device as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the energy storing element simultaneously expels the needle and the cannula from the protective element in an inserting direction.

7. The device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said base body consists of a foundation body arranged on a plaster.

8. The device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the protective element is a non-ductile body.

9. The device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the protective element is a frame which at least partially surrounds the cannula when it is retracted.

10. The device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the protective element is a sheath which completely surrounds the cannula when it is retracted.

11. The device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the device is a disposable device or a reusable device.

12. The device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the connection between the protective element and the base body comprises a rotational.

13. An insertion device comprising:

a cannula;

a protective element for accommodating the cannula in a retracted position;

a cannula expelling device;

an energy storing expelling element for expelling said cannula from the protective element;

an energy storing restoring element coupled to the cannula expelling device, in order to retract said cannula expelling device again once the cannula has been expelled; and

a base body removably connected to the protective element, wherein when the energy storing expelling element is released, the cannula is expelled from the protective element through an opening in the base body and is secured to the base body and wherein the cannula and base body, together, can then be disconnected from the protective element.

14. The device as set forth in claim 13 , wherein the cannula expelling device is a needle.

15. The device as set forth in claim 13 , wherein said energy storing restoring element is a spring element.

16. The device as set forth in claim 15 , wherein a triggering element is provided for the energy storing restoring element such that the energy storing restoring element is automatically triggered when the protective element is detached from the base body.

17. The device as set forth in claim 13 , wherein the energy storing expelling element is a spring.

18. The device as set forth in claim 17 , wherein said energy storing expelling element and the energy storing restoring element are formed by a single spring.

19. The device as set forth in claim 13 , further comprising a triggering element for securing and triggering at least one of the energy storing expelling element and the energy storing restoring element.

20. The device as set forth in claim 19 , further comprising a securing element for arresting said triggering element.

21. An insertion device, comprising:

a cannula;

a protective element for accommodating the cannula in a retracted position;

an energy storing element for expelling the cannula out of said protective element;

a base body removably connected to the protective element; and

a needle surrounded by the cannula

wherein in the retracted position the cannula is positioned spaced apart from the base body; and

wherein the cannula is expelled from the protective element through an opening in the base body.

22. The device as set forth in claim 21 , wherein said needle can be inserted completely into the protective element.

23. The device as set forth in claim 21 , wherein the energy storing element simultaneously expels the needle and the cannula from the protective element in an inserting direction.
