Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S.
provisional application 60/549,288 filed 2 Mar. 2004. - This invention relates generally to medical devices and more particularly to a port suitable for use in an implantable drug delivery device for exchanging fluid with a hypodermic needle.
- Various medical devices, e.g., implantable drug delivery devices, have one or more needle receiving ports (e.g. to access a reservoir or a catheter) which may include a needle access hole dimensioned to deny access to needles larger than a predetermined diameter. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,293,922 describes a port comprised of a conical depression leading to a central access hole which has “a diameter substantially the same as the predetermined diameter for preventing access to the septum” by oversized hypodermic needles. Needles having diameters smaller than the predetermined diameter are able to pass through the access hole and septum to exchange fluid with the reservoir or catheter. Generally, a physical stop, e.g., a pad made of firm, biocompatible polymer material, is inserted below the septum to engage the needle's tip to limit penetration and provide a tactile feedback to the user advising that the tip of the needle has bottomed. Unfortunately, however, the fragile needle tip can sometimes engage a surface which may cause it to curl up like a fish hook. The hook portion can then damage the septum when the needle is withdrawn from the port.
- Implantable medical device ports may also incorporate some type of filtering means, e.g., a sintered or mesh material, to prevent the introduction of particulate matter into the reservoir or catheter.
- The present invention is directed to a medical device needle receiving port configured to stop a needle's penetration without physically engaging the needle's tip thereby reducing the likelihood of tip damage.
- Typical hypodermic needles have a cannula or barrel portion whose outer diameter D1 indicates the needle's size, e.g., a 25 gauge needle has an outer diameter between 0.0205 and 0.0195 inches. The distal end of the cannula typically includes a beveled surface which forms a needle point end having an axial length L1 and an outer diameter which diminishes from D1 adjacent to the cannula to D2 at the needle tip. A port, in accordance with the present invention, includes a needle stop member having a hole defining a diameter D3 where D1>D3>D2 such that the needle point end can extend into the hole but is prevented from passing therethrough as a consequence of the point end surface engaging the stop member adjacent to the hole. The hole is configured to define an obstruction-free axial length, or depth, L2 where L2>L1. Thus, the fragile needle tip is prevented from engaging any stop surface and damage to the tip is avoided.
- A port in accordance with the invention preferably also includes a particulate collection chamber located beyond the needle stop hole. The collection chamber has one or more fluid outlets dimensioned to prevent particulate matter, introduced by the needle's insertion, from passing through to the reservoir or catheter.

FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the needle receiving port ofFIG. 3 ; and -
FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken substantially along the plane 6-6 ofFIG. 2 . - Attention is initially directed to
FIG. 1 which is a plan view of an exemplary implantabledrug delivery device 10 intended to be configured in accordance with the present invention. Thedevice 10 comprises ahousing 12 enclosing an interior volume (not shown) and defining first and secondneedle receiving ports 14 and 16. Port 14 is adapted for accessing an internal fluid drug reservoir (not shown) to fill or evacuate the reservoir.Port 16 is adapted for accessing, viaport 18, acatheter 19 to either extract a sample and/or introduce a fluid into the catheter. Thehousing 12 includes one or more interior fluid passageways (not shown) for coupling the reservoir via a controllable fluid transfer device (not shown), e.g., a pump or valve, to theport 16 for delivering fluid medication viacatheter 19 to a patient's body site. - As depicted in
FIG. 1 , port 14 typically includes aconical side wall 20 converging toward a central needle receivingentrance hole 21. Thehole 21 is preferably dimensioned to have a diameter small enough to prevent the entry of needles larger than a given size. As depicted,port 16 includes aside wall 23 converging toward a needle receivingentrance opening 24 which is shown for exemplary purposes as comprising a slot having a width narrow enough to prevent the entry of needles larger than a given size. A port in accordance with the present invention (FIGS. 2-6 ) can be configured with an entrance opening in the form of either a hole, e.g. 21, or a slot, e.g. 24. - Attention is now directed to
FIGS. 2-6 which illustrate a preferred embodiment of an exemplary port, e.g.,port 16, in accordance with the present invention. Theneedle receiving port 16 is comprised of an inverted cup shapedport body 30 defining aninterior cavity 31 having aninternal diameter 32. Aseptum 34, typically a pliable self healing membrane, is mounted in thecavity 31 above aneedle stop member 36. Abottom cover 40 is sealed alonginterface 42 to the inside wall ofcavity 31 to retain theseptum 34 and stopmember 36 in place. The sealedinterface 42 is fluid tight to prevent leakage. - The
needle stop member 36, in a preferred embodiment, includes a funnel shapedrecess 44 having aside wall 45 which converges from anentrance mouth 47 to aneedle stop hole 48. In accordance with the present invention, thehole 48 has a diameter D3 (FIG. 4A ) selected such that D3 is less than the outer diameter D1 of the cannula of an acceptable hypodermic needle N1 (FIG. 4A ). - More particularly,
FIGS. 4A and 4B depict an exemplary needle N1 having acannula 49 and apoint end 50 formed by anoblique surface 51. The point end terminates at aneedle tip 52. As depicted inFIG. 4A , the outer diameter of thecannula 49 is represented by D1. Thepoint end 50 has an outer diameter which diminishes from D1 adjacent to the cannula to D2 (close to zero) at theneedle tip 52. The axial length of thepoint end 50 is represented by L1. In accordance with the present invention, thestop hole 48 diameter D3 is selected to be less than D1 and greater than D2. Furthermore the depth ofstop hole 48 is selected such that L2, the sum of the hole's axial length plus an obstruction-free depth therebeneath, is longer than the axial length L1 of theneedle point end 50. - In use, the
needle point end 50 will be inserted into the port to pierce theseptum 34. The point end will then be guided byside wall 45 ofrecess 44 intostop hole 48. Because D1>D3>D2, thepoint end 50 will project intohole 48 with the oblique, or bevel,surface 51 engaging thestop member 36 adjacent to thehole 48. Because L2>L1, theneedle tip 52 is held out of engagement with any surface thereby avoiding tip damage. - In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the
needle stop member 36 is relieved at 54 to form aparticulate chamber 38 between thebottom cover 40 and thestop member 36. Thehole 48 opens into theparticulate chamber 38. The circumferential wall 58 (FIG. 6 ) of theparticulate chamber 38 has one or moreradial openings 60 dimensioned no larger in any direction than a dimension M. The opening(s) 60 extend radially outward from theinner surface 62 to theouter surface 64 of thecircumferential wall 58 to acircumferential fluid passageway 66. An inlet tube 68 (FIG. 2 ) and anoutlet tube 70 are coupled to thepassageway 66. Theinlet tube 68 typically carries fluid from the aforementioned reservoir and fluid transfer means (not shown) and the outlet tube typically carries fluid to thecatheter port 18. By limiting the dimensions ofopenings 60, thechamber 38 will retain any particulate matter greater than the dimension M, which otherwise could be disadvantageously introduced by the needle into the fluid flow to the catheter. - From the foregoing, it should be recognized that an improved needle receiving port has been disclosed herein characterized by a stop member having a hole dimensioned to receive a needle point end for stopping axial penetration of the needle without engaging the needle tip. Moreover, the preferred embodiment efficiently incorporates a chamber for trapping oversized particles.
- Although only a single specific embodiment has been described in detail herein, it should be understood that this embodiment is exemplary of various alternative configurations which may occur to those skilled in the art which are consistent with the teachings of the present invention and within the scope of the appended claims.
