Abstract
Abstract An infusion needle, more particularly for general infusion therapy, having a needle body (1) having a metal cannula (2) and a cylindrical receiving opening (3) connected thereto, the best possible adaptation to movements by the patient is achieved, without having to abandon the secure retention of the infusion needle at the place of application, by the features that the metal cannula (2) takes the form of an inner aspiration needle which is enclosed by a somewhat shorter closely adjoining plastics cannula (4) which terminates conically and is connected to the receiving opening (3), the needle body (1) being constructed bent in the transitional zone between the receiving opening (3) and the plastics cannula (4), and the metal cannula (2) being constructed to be drawn out of the enclosing plastics cannula (4 ) and the needle body (1 ).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
An infusion needle comprising a needle receiving body comprising a first portion having a cylindrical receiving opening therein and a transition zone, a plastic cannula which passes through said transition zone, said plastic cannula having a conically shaped first end which terminates at and is connected to said receiving opening and a second end extending away from the transition zone, said first portion being constructed with a bend therein so that an angle is formed between said transition zone and said receiving opening of said body, and so that said plastic cannula emerges from said body at substantially said angle with respect to said first portion, and a metal cannula which passes through and is removably received within said cylindrical receiving opening of said body and within said plastic cannula, said metal cannula being longer than said plastic cannula so that said metal cannula extends beyond said second end of said plastic cannula.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
153 words
An infusion needle comprising a needle receiving body comprising a first portion having a cylindrical receiving opening therein and a transition zone, a plastic cannula which passes through said transition zone, said plastic cannula having a conically shaped first end which terminates at and is connected to said receiving opening and a second end extending away from the transition zone, said first portion being constructed with a bend therein so that an angle is formed between said transition zone and said receiving opening of said body, and so that said plastic cannula emerges from said body at substantially said angle with respect to said first portion, and a metal cannula which passes through and is removably received within said cylindrical receiving opening of said body and within said plastic cannula, said metal cannula being longer than said plastic cannula so that said metal cannula extends beyond said second end of said plastic cannula.
