Abstract
An intraosseous access device for accessing an intraosseous space of a patient includes a manual driver and a sternal locator. The handle is connected to an inner penetrator hub, and an inner penetrator extends from the inner penetrator hub. An outer penetrator hub is releasably engaged to the inner penetrator hub. A protective cover is slidably coupled to the handle. The protective cover is operable to move from an extended position where the inner penetrator is covered, to a retracted position where the inner penetrator is exposed. The sternal locator includes a base; a collar extending from a first surface of the base for securing the intraosseous access device to restrict longitudinal separation of the intraosseous access device from the locator. The locator may be removed from the patient while the outer penetrator remains inserted in an intraosseous space of the patient.
