Intraosseous needle sets and kits
View Patent ↗Intraosseous needle sets (e.g., cannulas and stylets) and kits comprising the same, such as those, for example, having a non-circular bore and configured to receive a sample from a target area (e.g., a cortex, a sternum, a humerus, and/or the like).
1. An intraosseous needle set comprising:
a cannula having a first end, a second end, and a bore configured to receive a sample from a target area, the sample comprising bone marrow, the bore having:
a length extending from the second end of the bore through the first end;
a circular cross-section with a substantially constant diameter along a majority of the length of the bore; and
a non-circular cross-section along a minority of the length of the bore and closer to the first end than the second end,
where the cannula is configured to rotatable penetrate bone proximate to the bone marrow.
2. The intraosseous needle set of claim 1 , where the non-circular cross-section extends from the first end toward the second end.
3. The intraosseous needle set of claim 1 , where the non-circular cross-section has a first transverse dimension and a second transverse dimension that is different than the first transverse dimension.
4. The intraosseous needle set of claim 3 , where the first transverse dimension is greater than the second transverse dimension.
5. The intraosseous needle set of claim 4 , where the cannula can rotatably penetrate the target area to receive a sample having a circular cross-section with a substantially constant diameter.
6. The intraosseous needle set of claim 5 , where the cross-section of the sample has a transverse dimension substantially equal to the second transverse dimension of the non-circular cross-section of the bore.
7. The intraosseous needle set of claim 1 , where the first end of the cannula comprises at least one cutting surface configured to penetrate the target area.
8. The intraosseous needle set of claim 1 , where the first end of the cannula comprises:
a plurality of crowns having at least one cutting surface between adjacent crowns, where the crowns and the cutting surfaces are configured to penetrate the target area.
9. The intraosseous needle set of claim 1 , where the first end of the cannula comprises:
a plurality of teeth each having a tip.
10. The intraosseous needle set of claim 9 , where each of the plurality of teeth comprises a first side and a second side.
11. The intraosseous needle set of claim 10 , where a length of the first side of each tooth is less than a length of the second side.
12. The intraosseous needle set of claim 11 , where the tip of each of the plurality of teeth is defined by an intersection of the first side and the second side of that tooth.
13. The intraosseous needle set of claim 11 , where a first side of a first tooth intersects a second side of an adjacent tooth.
14. The intraosseous needle set of claim 1 , where the cannula is configured to rotatably penetrate the target area to receive a sample having a cross-sectional area that is less than a cross-sectional area of the non-circular cross-section.
