A holder for securely, but removably, attaching a medical tube to the body of a patient. The holder comprises a clip releasably connectable to the medical tube, a base for supporting the clip and a connecting component for connecting the clip to the base. An adhesive pad can be associated with the base to secure the holder to the patient.

Swivel clip medical tube holder

A hypodermic syringe has a barrel, a piston with plunger located in the barrel cavity, an elongated body on the barrel forward end and a needle releasably secured to the body end. A sheath slidingly received onto the elongated body has arms with openings on their end portions which can be locked onto pins on the band exterior. The sheath also has shields which normally extend outwardly. A spring-loaded actuator sleeve is slidingly received on the sheath. When the plunger has emptied the barrel cavity, further movement releases the sheath arms from the pins and the spring-loaded actuator moves over the shields closing about the needle.

Automatically positioned needle sheath for a disposable hypodermic

A hypodermic syringe and needle combination with a releasable, automatic needle enclosing sheath. A syringe barrel having an open and a closed end includes first and second longitudinally extending guide channels for guiding push rods secured to the thumb platform of a plunger rod. Ball-end engaging sockets are located at the ends of the guide channels for capturing ball-ends secured to the needle sheath which is slidably supported and displaceable between (1) a first position where the needle sheath is locked by engagement of the ball-ends in the sockets and which exposes the needle, and (2) a second position where the needle sheath encases the needle. The needle sheath is spring biased so that it travels from the first position to the second position when the ball-ends are released from the sockets by pressure applied on the thumb platform which causes the pushrods to push the ball-ends out of the sockets.
