Abstract
A system for delivery of therapeutic and/or diagnostic agents into a living body includes a port assembly having a cannula extending from the mounting side, a port opening away from the mounting side and a resilient barrier between the port and the cannula. An access hub includes a connector positionable at the port for opening the resilient barrier. The access hub is movable in the port assembly, is engaged therewith through a resilient ring coupling and forms a seal with the resilient barrier, reducing the amount of volume to be primed. Inserters, both disposable and reusable, include the cannula insertion member as part of the assembly. A spring loaded port driver is operatively mounted within the housing with movement controlled by a latch. The driver includes a seat for receipt of a port assembly. The cannula insertion member is nonremovably fixed in a socket in the port driver in the disposable assembly. In the reusable inserter, the cannula insertion member is slidably mounted within a socket associated with the latch. Slidable movement is limited by locking shoulders. The socket is split and may be splayed to release the cannula insertion member following use.
Description
- This is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/300,005 filed Dec. 13, 2005; which is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/040,544 filed Jan. 20, 2005, now U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,991,619; 11/040,590 filed Jan. 20, 2005 now U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,991,620; and 11/040,550 filed Jan. 20, 2005 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,022,108, which are divisional applications of U.S. Ser. No. 10/435,620, filed May 9, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,926,694, issued Aug. 9, 2005, all to the same inventors, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The field of the present invention is devices for the delivery or placement of therapeutic or diagnostic agents into a living body.
- Some medical procedures employ the infusion of therapeutic agents into living bodies over periods of time, making a syringe inconvenient and/or inappropriate. Such procedures have been used for the infusion of insulin, for example. In other cases, monitoring of internal body conditions with small sensors or other devices also makes syringes and like devices inappropriate for continuing access to subcutaneous tissue. To provide access in either circumstance, ports have been devised which provide support for a flexible cannula implanted in the body. Ports typically provide a housing which has a mounting side that is held by tape, dressings or direct adhesive against the body. A flexible cannula extends from the housing into the body.
- Ports used for infusion may be employed in combination with a delivery tube extending to the housing of the port and in communication with the cannula as a complete infusion set. The delivery tube of such an infusion set is in communication with the flexible cannula through an infusion fluid chamber in the port to deliver therapeutic agents. Diagnostic agents such as biosensors may be delivered in like manner.
- To place such ports or infusion sets including such ports, insertion sets have been used. An insertion set typically includes the port and necessarily includes a rigid sharp such as a needle which is placed through the flexible cannula for insertion into the body. The needle typically extends through a resilient barrier such as a resealable resilient mass, through a chamber and then axially through the cannula. Once the cannula has been positioned in the body, the port is positioned and the needle can be withdrawn. The resealing of the mass as the needle is withdrawn prevents fluid from leaking from the port while remaining in position at the site. Once the port has been placed with the flexible cannula extending into the body, the agent or agents can be delivered.
- A first type of insertion set includes an infusion set having the port and a delivery tube in communication with the cannula. The insertion set needle accesses the housing through a different path than the delivery tube. The seal is typically bypassed by the delivery tube in this instance. Alternatively, the insertion set is used with a port rather than a complete infusion set. The delivery tube is placed after insertion of the port to complete an infusion set. The same path is used for the insertion needle as part of the insertion set as is used for communicating the tube of the infusion set with the cannula. In this latter case, the delivery tube is associated with a hub which includes a member able to pierce a resealable resilient mass for communication between the delivery tube and the cannula once the insertion set has been disassembled through retraction of the needle.
- Mechanisms referred to as inserters have been devised to rapidly insert the needle and cannula into the body at the site. For the infusion of insulin in particular, diabetics self medicate. Consequently, they, a family member or other care provider places the port for infusion. This can be emotionally and physically difficult when repeated infusions are required over long periods of time. Inserters alleviate this burden somewhat by making the placement of the needle automatic and quick. Further, pressure by the inserter about the targeted site reduces the sensation of pain.
- Inserters typically include a housing with a driver slidable in the housing. The driver includes a socket to receive the insertion set. A spring is operatively placed between the housing and the driver to advance rapidly an insertion set positioned in the socket. A latch then controls the advancement of the driver. One complete system including an infusion port, an insertion set having the infusion port and an insertion needle, and an inserter is illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 6,293,925.
- The present invention is directed to a system for the delivery of therapeutic and/or diagnostic agents and components therefore. A port assembly includes a base having a mounting side with a port opening away from the mounting side and a cannula extending from the mounting side. A resilient barrier with a hole therethrough is located between the port and the cannula to control communication therebetween. An access hub includes a connector which can be positioned in the port such that the hole in the resilient barrier is closed with the connector displaced from being positioned in the port and open with the connector fully positioned in the port. An inserter for the port assembly includes a housing, a latch movably positioned in the housing, a port driver slidably mounted in a housing and a spring operatively between the housing and the port driver. The latch selectively engages the port driver in a first position with the spring in a stressed state and is disengaged with the port driver in a second position.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved system for delivery of therapeutic and/or diagnostic agents into a living body. Other and further objects and advantages will appear hereinafter.

FIGS. 1 through 7 illustrate a first port assembly, generally designated 20. Theport assembly 20 includes a base 22 which is shown to be frustoconical. The base may alternatively be cylindrical. Other shapes, of course, can also be employed. The base includes a mountingside 24. The mounting side may include adhesive for retention at a site on a living body. The adhesive is preferably nondrying and may or may not include a coated paper cover to be removed prior to use. Aport 26 is arranged in the base 22 to be open to the other side of the base from the mountingside 24. In this embodiment, the port opens into acavity 28 defined by acannula mounting element 30 and aretainer element 32 which are sonically welded, press fit or cemented into the main part of thebase 22. - A
cannula 34 extends from thebase 22. In this embodiment, the cannula extends perpendicular to the mountingside 24. Other angles might be appropriately employed. Thecannula mounting element 30 provides apassage 36 into which thecannula 34 is positioned. Thecannula 34 has a mountingflange 38 to retain thecannula 34 from being drawn through thepassage 36. Thecannula 34 may be retained in thecannula mounting element 30 and a seal formed with thepassage 36 through the use of adhesive, sonic welding where the materials are compatible, a press fit, or sealing elements. In the preferred embodiment, thecannula mounting element 30 insures retention of thecannula 34 by ultrasonically swaging the body of theelement 30 to draw material from thatelement 30 over theflange 38, as best seen inFIG. 5 . - The
port assembly 20 further includes aresilient barrier 42. Theresilient barrier 42 is preferably an elastomer. It is positioned in thecavity 28 and overlies thecannula 34. Theresilient barrier 42 controls fluid communication from theport 26 to thecannula 34. - The
resilient barrier 42 is illustrated in this embodiment to be a valve. Thevalve 42 is defined by a circular elastomeric septum 44. The septum 44 includes aslit 46 therethrough. Theslit 46 is cut so that the valve remains closed when in the unstressed state. Afrustoconical concavity 48 provides relief for flexure of the septum 44 downwardly to open theslit 46. As can best be seen inFIG. 6 , the septum 44 includes shapedprotrusions 50 to influence the distortion of the septum 44 with pressure from above. The septum 44 further includescircular beads circular bead 54 provides sealing contact with thecannula mounting element 30 about thecannula 34 and also about theconcavity 48. Thus, theresilient barrier 42 controls communication from theport 26 to thecannula 34 through pressure on the upper side thereof. - An access hub, generally designated 56, includes a
hub 58. Aconnector 60 extends from the main body of thehub 58. Atube 62 extends laterally from the main body of thehub 58. A fitting 64 is located at the end of thetube 62 for receipt of an infusion tube (not shown). Other fittings may be employed to rigidly engage such tubing or other components. Apassage 66 extends through the fitting 64, thetube 62 and theconnector 60 to provide flow communication through theaccess hub 56. Thetube 62 has a length of reduced outside diameter to receive atab 68. Thetab 68 is pivotally mounted about the area of reduced cross section of thetube 62. Thetab 68 includes asplit hub 70 for forced mounting on thetube 62.Ribs 72 on thetab 68 provide increased purchase. Thetab 68 has a first position as illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 2 . In a second position, the tab may be pivoted to extend more aligned with the longitudinal direction of theconnector 60 for easy gripping between thumb and forefinger. - The
access hub 56 is constructed such that theconnector 60 can be positioned through theport 26 into thecavity 28 and fully against theresilient barrier 42, as seen in each of the relevant Figures. The bottom of theconnector 60 includes a surface able to press against the shapedprotrusions 50 on the opposed surface of the circular elastomeric septum 44. Theprotrusions 50 might alternatively or additionally be found on the end of theconnector 60 but it is preferred that they be located on the septum 44 such that rotation of theaccess hub 56 relative to theport assembly 20 will not impact on the communication through theslit 46. The connector includes an annular surface 74 which, in cross section as illustrated inFIG. 5 , is shown to provide a segment of a circle. The curved portion of the surface 74 facing toward the distal end of theconnector 60 aids in the location of theaccess hub 56 into theport assembly 20. The more proximal portion of the annular surface 74 cooperates with a radiallyresilient bearing ring 76 located within thecavity 28. Together the annular surface 74 and the radiallyresilient bearing ring 76 define a coupling between theport assembly 20 and theaccess hub 56. Thering 76 is preferably split to create adequate radial resilience. Thering 76 includes an innerconcave track 78 meeting with the annular surface 74. The resilience in thering 76 and the shape of theconcave track 78 cause thering 76 to draw theconnector 60 further into thecavity 28 as thering 76 attempts to contract. This bias forces the flat end of theconnector 60 against thecircular bead 54 to result in sealing contact therebetween. The placement of theconnector 60 is such that thecircular bead 54 is located about the end of thepassage 66. The annular surface 74 is small enough to fit through theport 26 and to force open thering 76. - The
port assembly 20 andaccess hub 56 of this first embodiment provide for the placement of theport assembly 20 in the body prior to an assembly of theport assembly 20 and theaccess hub 56. Once assembled, theconnector 60 of theaccess hub 56 is biased against the septum 44, resulting in thecircular beads connector 60 and thecannula mount element 30, respectively. The distal surface of theconnector 60 forces the shapedprotrusions 50 toward thecannula 34 to open theslit 46. Once open, theslit 46 provides communication from thepassage 66 to thecannula 34. Further, theaccess hub 56 can be pivoted about the centerline of theconnector 60. When theaccess hub 56 is removed by extraction force transmitted by thetab 68, theslit 46 returns to the closed position as the force acting upon the shapedprotrusion 50 is removed. - Another port assembly, generally designated 80, is illustrated in
FIGS. 8 and 9 . Thisport assembly 80 exhibits a flat rather than frustoconical profile. A base 82 again provides a mountingside 84 which may include adhesive 86. Acannula mounting element 88 is fixed in thebase 82 and has aretainer element 90 thereabout which is also fixed in thebase 82. Thecannula mounting element 88 retains acannula 92 much as in the first embodiment. Further, aresilient barrier 94 defined by the circular elastomeric septum 44 as illustrated inFIG. 6 of the first embodiment is held between thecannula mounting element 88 and theretainer element 90. Theretainer element 90 defines aport 96. Theretainer element 90 also defines a post about theport 96 including anannular surface 98. Thesurface 98 defines a concave track about the post thus defined. - An access hub generally designated 100, can be assembled with the
port assembly 80. Theaccess hub 100 includes ahub 102 having a hubcircular periphery 104. Thisperiphery 104 includes cut-outs 106 diametrically opposed withundercut sides 108. The cut-outs 106 expose the base 82 so that a pinching of the assembly with the thumb and forefinger will separate theaccess hub 100 from theport assembly 80. - The
hub 102 provides acylindrical cavity 110 which has one portion about the periphery thereof modified for the provision of a fitting 112. The fitting 112 again provides for infusion tubing (not shown). Aninclined asymmetry 114 at the fitting 112 insures that the infusion tubing is not pushed so far into the fitting 112 that a further passageway into theaccess hub 100 is closed off. - An
inner hub element 116 fits within thecylindrical cavity 110 and defines aconnector 118 and apassage 120. Thepassage 120 extends from the fitting 112 to through theconnector 118. Thepassage 120 is formed as a channel in theinner hub element 116 and closed by thehub 102. Further, thepassage 120 extends through theconnector 118. As with the prior embodiment, theconnector 118 is insertable to theresilient barrier 94, operating in the same way as the first embodiment in the influence on opening the valve mechanism associated therewith. - A
retainer 122 is fixed to theinner web element 116. Theretainer 122 is contemplated to extend fully about theinner cavity 124 defined within theinner hub element 116. Theinner hub element 116 and theretainer 122 capture a radiallyresilient bearing ring 126 within theinner cavity 124. Thisbearing ring 126 is preferably split and includes a convexannular bead 128 which cooperates with theannular surface 98 to define a coupling between theport assembly 80 and theaccess hub 100. Albeit the location of the elements are inverted, thering 126 acts in a similar way to that of the first embodiment in that it is sized and arranged to force theconnector 118 into sealing contact with theresilient barrier 94. Again, one of the end surfaces of theconnector 118 and theresilient barrier 94 includes shaped protrusions to cause opening of the valve upon placement of theconnector 118 in theport 96. - A further port is illustrated in
FIG. 10 . Theaccess hub 130 is identical to that of the embodiment ofFIGS. 8 and 9 . Further,FIG. 8 applies equally to the embodiments ofFIG. 9 andFIG. 10 . Theport assembly 132 includes a base 134 which is defined by acannula mounting element 136 and adisk 138 having a cylindrical flange about the outer periphery thereof. Together the mountingelement 136 anddisk 138 provide a flow area therebetween which is able to reach a plurality ofcannulas 142 extending from the mountingsurface 144. Thesecannulas 142 are rigid but are contemplated to be very short so as to provide dispersed infusion into living tissue or multi-sensor diagnostic access. The cannulas are rigidly fixed within thecannula mounting element 136. Further, thecannula mounting element 136 provides a broader opening which communicates with the flow area between theplate 136 and thedisk 138 for adequate distribution of infusion fluids thereabout. -
FIGS. 11 through 19 provide inserter embodiments. These embodiments are shown to mate with theport assembly 20. Through slight modification of the seat within which the port assembly is positioned, the embodiments of FIGS. 8 through 10 might also be accommodated. The first two embodiments,FIGS. 11 through 13 and 14 are advantageously configured for disposable use. The embodiment ofFIGS. 15 through 17 is most advantageously reusable. Finally, the embodiment ofFIGS. 18 and 19 is configured for reusable or disposable use. - In the embodiment of
FIGS. 11 through 13 , the inserter, generally designated 148, is shown to include a housing assembly including ahousing 150. Thehousing 150 is conveniently cylindrical with abore 152 and outwardly extendingflanges 154 to define circular attachment surfaces at either end of thebore 152. First andsecond closures flanges 154. Theseclosures tab 160 such that they are conveniently removably mounted across thebore 152 with adhesive. Theclosures - The
housing 150 further includes amount 162 extending across thebore 152 and integrally formed with thehousing 150. Themount 162 is in the form of a plate perpendicular to the axis of thebore 152. Acentral hole 164 is provided through themount 162 to receive a latch discussed below. Twoholes 166 elongate in cross section extend to either side of thecentral hole 164. These holes are parallel and are located symmetrically about the center axis of the housing. Certainadditional holes 168 are provided through themount 162 for molding purposes. - The
housing 150 further includesstops 170 extending inwardly in thebore 152 and conveniently being diametrically opposed to one another. Theholes 168 for molding purposes are aligned with thestops 170 such that molding of thestops 170 is facilitated. Indexingtabs 172 are also diametrically placed to one side of themount 162 and are also formed as part of the inner wall of thehousing 150. On the other side of themount 162, a key 174 extends into thebore 152 and from themount 162. - A
latch 176 is positioned to one side of themount 162. The latch includes aplate 178 extending substantially across thebore 152 of thehousing 150. Additionally, thelatch 176 includes upwardly extendingwalls 180 forming segments of a cylinder. One of these segments of thewalls 180 includes akeyway 182 which receives the key 174. Thekeyway 182 has a substantial portion having a first height to receive the key 174 with thelatch 176 axially positioned as shown inFIG. 12 . At one point, thekeyway 182 is of increased depth parallel to the centerline of thehousing 150 which allows thelatch 176 to move toward themount 162. Thewalls 180 have threegaps 184 therebetween. One of thewalls 180 also includes an undercutsection 186. -
Hooks 188 extend in the opposite direction of thewalls 180 from theplate 178. Thesehooks 188 include outwardly extendingbarbs 190 which extend through thecentral hole 164 in themount 162. Thebarbs 190 have inclinedsurfaces 192 such that they can be forced into thecentral hole 164 with thehooks 188 exhibiting some resilience. Thebarbs 190 on thehooks 188 are spaced such that once inserted through thecentral hole 164, they will engage the rim of thehole 164 regardless of the angular orientation such that thelatch 176 is permanently captured by themount 162. -
Setoffs 194 extend in the same direction from theplate 178 as thehooks 188. Thesesetoffs 194 are straight and parallel to one another and equally displaced from the axis of the housing. Thesetoffs 194 match theparallel holes 166 so that thelatch 176 may be forced closer to themount 162. However, thehooks 188 also each have an inclined surface facing outwardly which inhibits substantial movement of thelatch 176 toward themount 162 from the position a shown inFIG. 12 . In position for use, thelatch 176 is oriented such that thestandoffs 194 are not aligned with theparallel holes 166 such that thelatch 176 is held axially within thebore 152 of thehousing 150. During assembly of the inserter might the latch be angularly rotated to match thesetoffs 194 with theparallel holes 166 to insure that assembly can be accomplished. - A
cover 198 is arranged with thelatch 176. The cover also includes aplate 200 which generally lies against theplate 178 of thelatch 176. Acylindrical wall 202 extends upwardly from theplate 200. Thiswall 202 includes threeblocks 204 which extend radially outwardly from thewall 202. Theseblocks 204 engage thegaps 184 in the upwardly extendingwalls 180 of thelatch 176. Consequently, rotation of thecover 198 will result in rotation of thelatch 176 with the two components in mating relationship. - The cover also includes two
fingers 206 diametrically opposed and spaced in cutout portions of thecylindrical wall 202. One of thesefingers 206 includes a rounded circumferentially extendingbar 208 which engages the undercutsection 186 in one of the upwardly extendingwall segments 180. Thebar 208 provides some retention of thecover 198 but allows it to be removable with a small amount of force. The twoopposed fingers 206 are slightly shorter than the full extent of theupstanding wall 202 and have inclinedsurfaces 207. Thefingers 206 are somewhat resilient and can move radially inwardly because of the cuts to either side of thefingers 206 in thecylindrical wall 202. - Centrally located in the
plate 200, anintegral channel 210 extends across thecover 198. Thisintegral channel 210 forms achamber 212 open toward thelatch 176. - The structure of the
cover 198 is such that it can be extracted from association with thelatch 176 and pulled from thehousing 150. Thecover 198 may then be turned over and forced into the other end of thehousing 150 within thebore 152 as seen inFIG. 13 . Thefingers 206 resiliently ride over the diametrically opposed stops 170 across theinclined surfaces 207 and lock on the upper surface of thefingers 206. - The
cylindrical wall 202 has anadditional rim 214 about its circumference to fit closely within thebore 152 of thehousing 150 in this position. As such, the lower end of thebore 152 is closed by thecover 198 after use. The upper end of thebore 152 remains substantially closed by theplate 178 of thelatch 176. - A port driver, generally designated 216, is slidably mounted within the
bore 152 of thehousing 150. Theport driver 216 includes a cylindricalouter wall 218 which slides within thebore 152. The cylindricalouter wall 218 includes two gaps (not shown) diametrically opposed. These gaps mate with theindexing tabs 172 which extend from themount 162. These gaps also provide clearance to allow theport driver 216 to be mounted in thehousing 150 across thestops 170. The gaps extend fully through theport driver 216 and allow for air flow as thedriver 216 moves through thehousing 150. A cylindricalinner wall 220 defines anannular spring cavity 221 for receiving acoil spring 222. The cylindricalinner wall 220 includes an inwardly extendingflange 224 which includesnotches 226 diametrically opposed where there is no inwardly extendingflange 224. As such, thehooks 188 which extend through thecentral hole 164 further extend into the cylindricalinner wall 220 and engage the inwardly extendingflange 224 unless aligned with thenotches 226. - A
plate 228 extends across theport driver 216 from which thecylindrical walls annular spring cavity 221. Thisplate 228 provides aseat 230 which is shown inFIGS. 12 and 13 to be conically formed to accommodate the firstembodiment port assembly 20. Theseat 230 may easily be formed to accommodate theport assemblies seat 230 does not in any way restrain theport assembly 20 from moving away from theseat 230. Theplate 228 does extend outwardly to the wall of thebore 152 such that thestops 170 will engage theplate 228 as it moves to the end of thehousing 150. - The
plate 228 includes acentral portion 232 havingholes 234 facilitating the molding process of theflanges 224. The holes are directly aligned with the inwardly extendingflange 224 to that end. Asocket 236 is centrally located within thecentral portion 232. Thissocket 236 is sized to receive a needle which may be forcefully fit within thesocket 236 or permanently retained there by a bonding agent. In either circumstance, the socket is designed to rigidly and permanently fix a needle employed as a cannula insertion member. - A
cannula insertion member 238 in the form of a sharp needle is permanently affixed within thesocket 236. Thisneedle 238 extends downwardly through theport assembly 20 and through thecannula 34 associated therewith. Thecannula 34 is fit snugly about theneedle 238 such that friction does exist between thecannula 34 and theneedle 238. The retention force thus provided maintains theport assembly 20 in place prior to application. The adhesive on the mountingside 24 is formulated to have a greater separation force than the retention force between thecannula 34 and theneedle 238. Further, thebase 22 is sized to miss thesestops 170. - In operation, the
inserter 148 is assembled by pressing thelatch 176 into position with thehooks 188 extending through thecentral hole 164. Thecover 198 is also positioned on thelatch 176 and forced into place. The latch may be oriented such that theparallel setoffs 194 engage theparallel holes 166 so that thelatch 176 may be forced further into thebore 152 to insure engagement with theport driver 216. Thecoil spring 222 is placed between themount 162 and theport driver 216 in theannular spring cavity 221. The port driver is aligned with thehousing 150 so that the gaps match up with thestops 170. With the spring operatively positioned between themount 162 and theport driver 216, the port driver is forced upwardly and angularly displaced until thehooks 188 engage the inwardly extendingflange 224. - The
cannula insertion member 238 may originally be part of theinserter 148 by location in thesocket 236 with a bonding agent or through forced interference fit. Alternatively, thecannula insertion member 238 may first be temporarily assembled with theport assembly 20 through thecannula 34 and then associated with theport driver 216 as theport assembly 20 is positioned. Ultimately, thecannula insertion member 238 becomes a fixed part of theport driver 216. - The
closures housing 150 and the device sterilized. Depending on the method of sterilization, the device is sterilized after placement of theclosures - In use, the
closures tabs 160. Theinserter 148 is then placed on the body site. Thecover 198 is then rotated until thehooks 188 meet thenotches 226 in the inwardly extendingflange 224, releasing theport driver 216. Thespring 222 propels theport driver 216 forwardly to the end of thehousing 150 where it engages thestops 170. Theport assembly 20 is advanced with theport driver 216 until the adhesive contacts the surface of the body. In doing so, thecannula insertion member 238 is rapidly advanced into the body along with the supportedcannula 34. Once placed, thehousing 150 is retracted from the body retaining theport driver 216 including thecannula insertion member 238. Theresilient barrier 42 prevents flow from the body through thecannula 34. With theinserter 148 removed, thecover 198 is pulled from the end of thehousing 150 and placed on the other end thereof to engage thefingers 206 with thestops 170. Thecontainer 212 defined by thechannel 210 receives thecannula insertion member 238 to cover the sharp and close the container. - With the
port assembly 20 in place and theinserter 148 removed, anaccess hub 56 can then be placed. As theconnector 60 is inserted into theport 26 of theport assembly 20, the end surface of theconnector 60 extends against the shapedprotrusions 50 of theresilient barrier 42. Theconnector 60 does not extend through theslit 46 but opens the valve through its positioning in thecavity 28. The coupling mechanism including the radiallyresilient bearing ring 76 and the annular surface 74 is engaged; and theconnector 60 is pressed against thecircular bead 52. Theaccess hub 56 is then movable in theport assembly 20 and can be pivoted to best advantage for the associated infusion tubing. Removal of theaccess hub 56, in this embodiment by thetab 68, will withdraw theconnector 60 and allow theslit 46 to again close in theresilient barrier 42. - Turning to the
port driver 240 illustrated inFIG. 14 , the mechanism is substantially identical to that of the embodiment ofFIGS. 11 through 13 . However, thecover 242 is differently configured principally with achannel 244 having acontainer 212 which is askew to bend thecannula insertion member 246 to the side as thecover 242 is placed on the driver end of thehousing 248.Stops 250 again engage thecover 242 to hold it in place. - Turning to the inserter embodiment of
FIGS. 15 through 17 , a reusable inserter, generally designated 252, is disclosed. The inserter includes ahousing 254 which is substantially identical to prior housings. Thebore 258 includes amount 260 extending across thehousing 254 as previously described. However, thecentral hole 262 is increased in size for placement considerations. - The
port driver 264 includes a cylindricalouter wall 266 and a cylindricalinner wall 268 defining anannular spring cavity 270. Inwardly extendingflanges 272 are located at the end of the cylindricalinner wall 268 most adjacent themount 260. Again,notches 274 in the inwardly extendingflanges 272 are arranged diametrically. Acoil spring 276 is located within theannular spring cavity 270. In this embodiment, the center area of theport driver 264 is open. Anannular plate 278 closes the bottom of theannular spring cavity 270 and defines a seat for aport assembly 20. In this embodiment, thebase 282 of theport assembly 20 includes acircular channel 284. Theseat 280 of theannular plate 278 includes aretainer 286 in the form of a circular ring which engages acircular channel 284 with minimal release force generated by a minimal interference fit to retain theport assembly 20 in place prior to insertion. - The
cannula insertion member 288 includes a sharpenedneedle 290 and aneedle hub 292. Theneedle 290 is permanently retained within theneedle hub 292. Theneedle hub 292 includes anengagement shoulder 294 at its distal end and aplug 296 that fits within theport 298 of theport assembly 20. - A
latch 300 is located to the other side of themount 260 from theport driver 264. The latch includes aplate 302 extending across thebore 258 of thehousing 254. Acylindrical wall 304 extends along thebore 258. Akeyway 306 is found in thecylindrical wall 304 to receive a key 307 associated with thehousing 254.Hooks 308 are provided as in prior embodiments but are spaced further apart to allow for theneedle hub 292. - A
socket 310 is centrally located in theplate 302 of thelatch 300. Thissocket 310 releaseably retains theneedle hub 292 which is otherwise slidable within thesocket 310. Thesocket 310 includes apassageway 312 which is open at the end toward theport assembly seat 280. Ashoulder 314 is presented at the end of thepassageway 312 to encounter and retain theengagement shoulder 294 of theneedle hub 292. Thesocket 310 is also split diametrically along its length to form twosocket elements 316. The length of thesocket 310 is such that, in combination with theneedle hub 292, theengagement shoulder 294 and theshoulder 314 do not stop insertion of the cannula insertion member until theneedle 290 has penetrated the body to the point that the associatedcannula 34 will not extend beyond theneedle 290. The arrangement is designed to stop thecannula insertion member 288 before theport driver 264 has traveled fully to thestop 318 located in thebore 258 of thehousing 254. - With the
inserter 252 having been actuated by rotation of thelatch 300 and theport assembly 20 placed, theinserter 252 can be withdrawn along with thecannula insertion member 288 as a component of theinserter 252. Once withdrawn, thecannula insertion member 288 can be released from thereusable inserter 252. Theplate 302 defines a slightly flexible web across thebore 258 of thehousing 254. Twoopposed levers 320 extend upwardly from thatweb 302. These levers are aligned with thesocket elements 316 defining thesocket 310. By pinching thelevers 320 together, thesocket elements 316 splay apart and release theneedle hub 292. A newcannula insertion member 288 can then be positioned in theinserter 252 by forcing it past theshoulder 314. This may be accomplished with or without theport assembly 20. - With the
reusable inserter 252, the device may be prepared by positioning thecannula insertion member 288 in theport assembly 20. Thecannula insertion member 288 is then engaged with thesocket 310 by forcing theneedle hub 292 through theshoulder 314 on thesocket elements 316. Theselevers 320 may be pinched together to facilitate this assembly. Theport assembly 20 is then forced against theport driver 264 to place theport assembly 20 in theseat 280 with thecircular channel 284 and thecircular ring 286 engaged with slight interference. Where the port assembly has exposed adhesive on the mountingside 322, it is advantageous that theport driver 264 is forced into engagement with thelatch 300 before placement of theport assembly 20. Once prepared, theinserter 252 may be placed at the site and thelevers 320 turned to rotate thelatch 300 such that thehooks 308 meet thenotches 274 and release theport driver 264. Theinserter 252 is then withdrawn, retaining thecannula insertion member 288 as part of the inserter assembly. Theport assembly 20 remains at the site with thecannula 34 extending into the living body. Anaccess hub 56 is then positioned with theconnector 60 in theport 26. Force is applied to engage the coupling between the two such that theaccess hub 56 is then movably retained within theport assembly 20. The system is then ready for delivery of therapeutic agents or diagnostic agents through the cannula into the living tissue. Theaccess hub 56 may be withdrawn through force exerted on thetab 68, or by pinching the access hub in the second or third embodiments. The valve of theresilient barrier 42 responds appropriately by sealing the pathway when theaccess hub 56 is not in place and opening the pathway when it is. - A further port inserter as illustrated in
FIGS. 18 and 19 , generally designated 324, combines a number of features of the prior port inserters. The device may come fully sealed and sterile. Further, theport inserter 324 contemplates the intended release of the needle after use or the enclosure of that needle with the inserter for discard. Acylindrical housing 326, as generally described in preceding embodiments, includes an extended length to accommodateclosure elements latch 332 operates identically to that in the prior embodiment ofFIGS. 15 through 17 and cooperates with aneedle hub 334 andneedle 336 in a like manner. The extended portion of thehousing 326 encloses the levers of thelatch 332 and receives acover 338. This cover is constructed so that it may be forced against thedriver 340 from the bottom to enclose theneedle 336 and lock the cover over thestops 342. Thedriver 340 is the same as that of prior embodiments and is driven by a spring 344 in like manner. Likewise aport 20 also is as in prior embodiments. - Thus, improved ports and inserters therefor have been described. While embodiments and applications of this invention have been shown and described, it would be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The invention, therefore is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims.
