Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An infusion set has an adhesively secured main hub, and a slidable top cover, needle hub and angled or cantilevered needle that can be used for performing an intradermal needle insertion precisely targeting the upper 3 mm of skin surface, for example, one that substantially duplicates the Mantoux insertion technique, for injecting into the intradermal layers of skin, while maintaining a degree of comfort to the user. By sliding the top cover, the cantilevered needle is loaded and released or the angled needle is slid into an insertion site, while flexible arms and adhesive are used to stretch and/or flatten a skin surface, or otherwise create skin tension, at the insertion site.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A medical set configured to be secured to a skin surface, comprising: a moveable first hub comprising a needle; a second hub comprising a base and flexible arms that are configured to be secured to said skin surface at an injection site; and a slidable cover configured to slide in a direction parallel to said base to move said first hub in said direction and place said needle into said skin surface at an insertion site; wherein when said needle moves t…
