Abstract

Abstract Apparatus and method concepts and embodiments are provided for control of fluid flow by force amplification syringe means. The concepts are particularly suited to surgical methods and apparatus for removing fluid from a patient or administering fluid to the patient, particularly at a fluid flow rate that is the most tolerable from the point of view of the patient.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 237 words
A syringe holder for loading with a cylindrical syringe having a syringe barrel with a unitary flange structure and for facilitating the axial advancement of the syringe barrel plunger from a retracted position to continuously advanced dispensing positions, including axially aligned barrel and plunger housing sections, the barrel housing having the form of an open-sided open-ended part cylinder dimensioned to receive, support and stabilize the syringe barrel in coaxially mounted relation, the barrel housing comprising slot means dimensioned to receive the flange structure of a syringe barrel thus loaded into the holder and to thereby stabilize the barrel against axial dislocation with respect to the barrel housing, the plunger housing having cylindrical form with an open end and a closed end defining an open zone dimensioned to receive the retracted plunger of the loaded syringe barrel, said closed housing end including a central aperture to accommodate insertion therethrough of a spacing bar on an axial line within the plunger housing, and means for applying force against the head of the plunger comprising spacing bar torque means and a spacing bar having leading and trailing ends and a shank, the shank and the closed end of the plunger housing being threaded for threadably engaging the spacing bar within the central aperture such that torquing the bar achieves controlled biasing movement of the leading end of the spacing bar against the syringe plunger head located within the plunger housing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 237 words
A syringe holder for loading with a cylindrical syringe having a syringe barrel with a unitary flange structure and for facilitating the axial advancement of the syringe barrel plunger from a retracted position to continuously advanced dispensing positions, including axially aligned barrel and plunger housing sections, the barrel housing having the form of an open-sided open-ended part cylinder dimensioned to receive, support and stabilize the syringe barrel in coaxially mounted relation, the barrel housing comprising slot means dimensioned to receive the flange structure of a syringe barrel thus loaded into the holder and to thereby stabilize the barrel against axial dislocation with respect to the barrel housing, the plunger housing having cylindrical form with an open end and a closed end defining an open zone dimensioned to receive the retracted plunger of the loaded syringe barrel, said closed housing end including a central aperture to accommodate insertion therethrough of a spacing bar on an axial line within the plunger housing, and means for applying force against the head of the plunger comprising spacing bar torque means and a spacing bar having leading and trailing ends and a shank, the shank and the closed end of the plunger housing being threaded for threadably engaging the spacing bar within the central aperture such that torquing the bar achieves controlled biasing movement of the leading end of the spacing bar against the syringe plunger head located within the plunger housing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 33 words
A syringe holder according to claim 1 where the plunger housing comprises functionally matching half-cylinder parts such that the plunger housing can be assembled from the parts into a unitary closed cylindrical configuration.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 20 words
A syringe holder according to claim 2 where the matching parts are unitarily joined at one side by hinge means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 16 words
A syringe holder according to claim 2 where the matching parts are separate and fastenably joinable.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 59 words
A syringe holder according to claim 2 where the leading edge of the spacing bar comprises a flange reversely recessed and dimensioned at its forward surface such that the flange structure of a syringe plunger head can be removably inserted within the body of the flange to achieve a coupling effect therebetween for purposes of either aspirating or pumping.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 20 words
A syringe holder according to claim 5 where the matching parts of the plunger housing are joined by hinge means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 16 words
A syringe holder according to claim 5 where the matching parts are separate and fastenably joinable.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 15 words
A syringe holder according to claim 2 where the matching parts comprise tension fastening means:
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 21 words
A syringe holder according to claim 8 where the fastening means comprise polymeric plastic having memory bias in the closed configuration.
