Title:
TRANSCUTANEOUS DELIVERY MEANS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002040083
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A device (10) for delivering fluid to a patient including a passageway having a proximal fluid transport tube, a distal fluid transport tube, and a tubular expansion member coupling the fluid transport tubes. A penetrating member (704) is positioned within the expansion member for axial movement between the fluid transport tubes, and has a sharpened distal tip. The device also includes a dispenser (40) for causing fluid from a reservoir (30) to flow to the proximal fluid transport tube, a housing (20) containing the dispenser and the passageway and including an exit port (70) receiving the distal fluid transport tube, and a connecting member secured to the penetrating member. The connecting member is movable by a user from an exterior of the housing and arranged such that movement causes the penetrating member to move between an extended position and a retracted position.
