Veterinarian fulfills a lifelong wish list
January 17, 2012
As a young person, veterinarian Dr. Sarah Owens made a point of asking her elders what it was they wished they had done with their lives. As she listened to their regrets, Owens made a promise to herself to "make sure I didn't miss out on anything."
Owens kept that promise. She graduated from Brown and Harvard, traveled to the mountains of Nepal to care for animals on film shoots and spent many hours in the castles around Europe performing delicate surgeries on animals. In between stints at college, Owens was an active leader in several of nongovernmental organizations in South Africa. Eventually, the pull of her native Northwest roots drew her home to Issaquah.
"Aside from the Arctic and Antarctic, I've lived most my life on the continents and am completely happy to be back here in the Northwest," she said, adding that she feels a symbiotic relationship to people in the Northwest.
"No matter where I was, every time I met someone in a remote and exotic locale who was from the Pacific Northwest, I felt we shared a certain way of connecting to the natural and social environment," she said. "I am sure it stems from coming from a landscape of such great soul."
Hayes Nursery, longtime local business, to close
November 29, 2011
Hayes Nursery, a destination for springtime shrubs and sage gardening advice, plans to close by late December, after rain-sodden summers and a feeble economy hurt the longtime local business.
Clare and Larry Hayes opened the nursery along Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast in time for Mother's Day 1987 and expanded the business throughout the decades.
King County Council adopts 'stable and balanced' 2012 budget
November 15, 2011
In a unanimous decision Nov. 9, King County Council members adopted a $5.2 billion budget for 2012 focused on basic human needs, such as food and shelter, and maintenance for aging roads in rural and unincorporated areas.
The total includes a $650 million general fund budget — dollars for elections, law enforcement and other basic government functions. Leaders did not tap reserves for the 2012 spending plan.
"This stable and balanced budget is a product of a decadelong effort to respond to shrinking revenues by cutting costs while maintaining our high bond ratings through sound fiscal management," Councilman Larry Phillips said.
The budget outlines a plan for some streets in rural and unincorporated areas near Issaquah to receive reduced maintenance and a lower priority for snow removal.
In turn, King County plans to shift attention to heavily traveled roads, such as Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast.
King County road crews prepare for wintry conditions
November 15, 2011
NEW — 10:40 a.m. Nov. 15, 2011
La Niña is in the long-term forecast, temperatures continue to fall and the King County Road Services Division is urging motorists to prepare for driving in wintry conditions.
The agency faces a challenge in the months ahead due to budget cuts.
Because wintry conditions can start earlier at higher elevations, county road crews topped off salt and sand stockpiles of salt and sand to be ready. The latest forecast indicates ice and snow could start any day now.
The county roads division has 17,700 cubic yards of sand, 270 cubic yards of salt and 21,000 gallons of anti-icing material stockpiled at 10 field offices throughout the county. The agency also has equipment ready to combat snow and ice.
If a significant snowstorm blasts the region, officials place crews on 12-hour shifts to provide around-the-clock response on roads in unincorporated areas.
Off the Press
September 27, 2011
It can't happen here; yes, it can
"This kind of thing doesn't happen here," people always say when some tragedy, especially one involving violence, occurs in a community.
I heard the phrase again and again Sept. 24, because that kind of thing doesn't happen in Issaquah either. Until it did.
I was shopping in Maple Valley when a friend called to tell me there was a gunman on the loose in Issaquah and she couldn't get into town because of all of the police officers blocking the streets.
Despite the fact that her voice was crystal clear, I immediately said, "What? Can you say that again?"
Same thing — gunman, downtown Issaquah, cops everywhere with guns drawn, helicopter flying overhead. She then asked if I was OK. (I live downtown.) I felt stunned for a moment. Were my pets OK at home? Could I even get there? Did I want to go there? How would I know if the gunman was inside the house or hiding on the property?
County's proposed road plan calls for limited service on local streets
September 13, 2011
NEW — 8 a.m. Sept. 13, 2011
Some streets in rural and unincorporated areas near Issaquah could receive reduced maintenance and a lower priority for snow removal under a proposal King County leaders unveiled Monday — a plan County Executive Dow Constantine called "triage" for a cash-strapped and deteriorating roads system.
Constantine proposed a plan to prioritize road maintenance, snow removal and storm response on a tiered system.
Important arteries — such as Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast, Preston-Fall City Road Southeast, Southeast Issaquah-Fall City Road and sections of Southeast May Valley Road east of state Route 900 — remain top priorities for maintenance, snow removal and storm cleanup under the proposal.
Paraglider pilot plummets to death near Squak Mountain
August 9, 2011
A paraglider pilot plunged to his death Aug. 7 as he attempted to land in a pasture near Issaquah.
Renton resident Kenneth Blanchard, 53, completed hundreds of paraglider flights before the deadly accident.
Seattle Paragliding owner Marc Chirico said Blanchard launched from Poo Poo Point on Tiger Mountain a couple of hours earlier and planned to land near his home on a "postage stamp of a landing field" in a pasture.
Chirico said Blanchard completed about 300 flights before the accident.
The accident occurred at about 7 p.m. in the 12300 block of 202nd Place Southeast, near the intended landing site. Blanchard plummeted to the ground in the High Valley area southwest of Squak Mountain State Park, about three miles from the usual paraglider landing site along Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast.
King County Council protects Issaquah Creek salmon habitat
May 31, 2011
Critical salmon habitat in the Issaquah Creek Basin is protected for the next half-century — and possibly longer — due to a King County Council decision.
The council members approved a 50-year lease agreement May 16 for 30 acres along Holder Creek and near Carey Creek — tributaries of Issaquah Creek. The wedge-shaped property is along Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast, about a mile north of the state Route 18 interchange.
The legislation authorized County Executive Dow Constantine to lease the land from the state Department of Natural Resources at no cost.
King County Sheriff's Office ends burglar's chase near Issaquah
April 27, 2011
NEW — 1:45 p.m. April 27, 2011
King County Sheriff's deputies arrested a suspected burglar late Wednesday morning after a pursuit near Issaquah.
Police arrested the suspect in the 15600 block of Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast near the Mirrormont neighborhood, about five miles south of downtown Issaquah. The suspect's vehicle exceeded posted speed limits during the chase.
Sgt. John Urquhart said the pursuit originated in the 19700 block of 244th Avenue Southeast in rural Maple Valley, about four miles from the 15600 block of Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast.
Urquhart said the investigation is ongoing.
Covington man dies in crash near Issaquah
April 26, 2011
Police blamed reckless driving for a fatal crash near Issaquah late last week.
The three-vehicle accident on state Route 18 near Issaquah left a 36-year-old Covington man dead April 23 and prompted detectives to launch investigations into possible vehicular assault and vehicular homicide.
Washington State Patrol investigators said the incident started as motorists in a red Ford Probe and a green Toyota Celica drove in a reckless manner in the westbound lanes at about 5 p.m. Then, just east of the Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast exit, police said the driver of the Celica, a 26-year-old Pullman man, attempted to pass traffic on the right road shoulder.
The driver lost control of the Celica, traveled across all highway lanes and struck a maroon Honda Pilot heading east.
The driver of the Probe, a 39-year-old Tacoma man, lost control. The vehicle rolled onto the shoulder and came to rest upside down.
Eastside Fire & Rescue medics transported the driver of the Pilot, Trung Ngo, and his passenger, wife Cheuk Chann, 37, to Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries. Ngo died at the hospital after 9 p.m. Chann has been released from Harborview and is expected to survive.

It works with 24 volt systems. You'll have to check nest.com to confirm (last I knew, they were delaying release in Europe - don't know whether this was technical)

The European version will work on a 220v system and they can all do centigrade. See the Apple UK store for that product.
Only the US version does 24v, as that is what is common here.

An inviting deep ruby-red color. This is a very aromatic wine, offering dark fruit, cassis, dried herbs, cocoa powder and vanilla. Flavors are of more blackberry and other dark fruit, black olives, caramel, root beer and vanilla. The wine's tannins are round and chewy, offering great balance and a lingering toasty and fruity finish. A great match with red meats and pastas.

The downfall that faced Tobe Hooper's creative relationship with The Cannon Group in the eighties wasn't much different than the fate of George A. Romero's collaboration with Orion Pictures. After leaving an iconic legacy for horror in the previous decade, Hooper had a reputation to live up to when he made a three picture deal with Golan and Globus that resulted in the ambitious, but entertaining failure Lifeforce, the misunderstood parody The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, and the family friendly remake of Invaders From Mars that helped sink Cannon out of Hollywood forever.
When considering the talent involved in this production that included screenwriting duties from Dan O' Bannon and special effects from legends like Stan Winston (who was simultaneously working on James Cameron's Aliens), John Dykstra (Star Wars) and Alec Gillis, this quite frankly should have been an exhilarating fantasy spectacle at the very least.

Jason Voorhees, the living dead of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead, the librarian phantom from Ghostbusters, the reanimated dead of Cemetery Man—these memorable horror movie characters and many more came to life onscreen due in large part to the talented hands and crafty eyes of FX legends Tom Savini, Steve Johnson, and Sergio Stivaletti.
Tate Steinsiek, an FX artist who also has an impressive résumé, teaches Ill Willed FX Workshops around the world, and on his international tour this summer, he's bringing in the aforementioned talented trio to offer their priceless advice in select sessions, with Savini joining the Amsterdam series, Johnson coming in for the Dublin series, and Stivaletti set for the Rome series.

Hey, I'm Jeri!
After a long career in both Corporate and Civil Service working in Telecommunications, I am now retired and enjoying being both a host and guest at other Airbnb locations ( in Italy). I also donate professional time to several charitable causes. My favorite cause is working as a Volunteer Recruiter for the American Red Cross, mainly for Disaster Action Team Service Responders. I have been an Airbnb host for the past (3) years, and have met many wonderful people from all over the world. It is a way to travel without leaving home. I love learning about people - how they live and the adventures they have to share. As a traveler myself, I also get ideas from my guests - Airbnb folks tend to enjoy different cultures, learning how indigenous people live, by staying with them. My motto has always been to "live and let live," as a host I am there if you need me, but really give my guests the room and freedom they need to relax before going out to explore and enjoy Chicago.

To the extent applicable and directed to the same subject matter and problem, reference is made to my U.S. Pat. No. 3,599,637 as issued on Aug. 17, 1971 and entitled, "Intravenous Catheter Assembly." Reference is also made to my U.S. Pat. No. 3,863,632 as issued on Feb. 4, 1975 and entitled, "Intracorporeal Catheter Assembly".
1. Field of the Invention
The classification of art as established by the United States Patent and Trademark Office is believed to place this invention in the general Class entitled, "Surgery" (Class 128) and in the subclass entitled, "dosing devices -- intravenous -- coaxial" (sublcass 214.4).
2. Description of the Prior Art
This apparatus provides a flexible catheter with means for determining the placement of the catheter into the vein of the patient. In addition to this embodiment there have been many attempts to provide closed systems in which the catheter, when connected to an intravenous member, may allow the withdrawal of the needle without a serious back flow of blood from the vein. Among these are my U.S. Pat. No. 3,599,637 as issued on Aug. 17, 1971 and my U.S. Pat. No. 3,863,632 as issued on Feb. 4, 1975. There is also a showing in U.S. Pat. No. 3,915,168 as issued on Oct. 28, 1975 to MONESTERE, et al. In all of these systems after the penetration of the skin and a vein is entered, the needle is withdrawn from the catheter. The intravenous feeding system in the above embodiments is connected through a socket in the catheter assembly to a tapered portion of the fluid conductor.
The present invention is directed toward providing a closed catheter system which enables the needle portion to be inserted into and through the tubular catheter portion without previous penetration of or a later withdrawal through the wall of a rubber or plastic tubing. At the same time, this assembly enables the fluid conducting tubing to be hooked up to the catheter before insertion of the needle into the patient and subsequent withdrawal of the needle from the catheter. Y-block concepts have previously been used to achieve closed systems.
In the present embodiment there is provided an auxiliary assembly which may be hooked up to an existing catheter. A slightly longer needle is used instead of the original needle. In another embodiment, the rotating intravenous member connection may be made as an integral part of the flexible catheter hub. It is to be noted that the needle in the passageway in the catheter acts as a shutoff for the flow of intravenous fluid through the catheter until the needle is withdrawn from the catheter and also prevents the spillage of blood from the catheter when the rotating member is moved into position.
In the embodiments to be fully described and shown, the present invention contemplates that the catheter with an enclosed needle may be inserted in a vein of a patient. A fluid conductor is connected to a socket portion of a rotatable portion of the apparatus. With the needle in place fluid flow through the conductor is inhibited. When this needle is withdrawn, the rotary member can be moved to a flow condition with the catheter.
The catheter assembly of this invention includes a flexible plastic tubing having its distal end tapered to assist in the penetration of the skin of the patient. This catheter is used in combination with a needle to accomplish the penetration of the skin. The other end of the catheter is attached to or is integrally molded with a conical hub portion which provides a tapered entrance into the bore of the catheter. Two concepts of the invention are shown. In one arrangement, a molding of the hub of the catheter includes forming the hub with a receiving portion in which a rotating member is mounted. This rotating member, in one condition, provides a passageway for the entry of a needle into the catheter and the withdrawal of the needle from the catheter. In another portion of the rotating member is formed a socket for the receiving of an end of a fluid conductor. A passageway through the axial portion of the rotating member when rotated into a determined position brings a passageway from the conductor into flow connection with the passageway of the catheter.
In another embodiment, a standard catheter and hub is used. A small auxiliary member is formed having an entry nozzle portion for mounting in the hub of the catheter. A needle which is slightly longer than that used in the regular catheter passes through a passageway formed in this auxiliary member and then into the passageway of the catheter to provide the assist in the penetration of the vein. This needle may also provide a cutoff for the fluid from the intravenous connection. A female socket is formed in this rotating member and is connected by a passageway extending through the rotating member. The needle in one passageway closes off the fluid conducting passageway. After the needle is withdrawn, a rotating action of approximately thirty degrees brings the fluid connection into a flow conducting condition with the catheter.
In my prior invention, as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,599,637, the passage of the needle through a wall of the catheter causes a possible penetration and inclusion of a portion of rubber in the tip or in the needle itself. This defect or possible objection to its use was noted. My U.S. Pat. No. 3,863,632 was directed toward providing a closed system where after the needle was withdrawn the intravenous member was in full connection without the penetration or passage of the needle through the flexible wall. The manufacturing difficulties and the reluctance of attendants to use this specially shaped catheter assembly, as well as the possibility of utilizing a filter in the flow conduit of the intravenous member, has led to the present concept.
There has been shown two specific embodiments of the catheter contoured to receive a conical semiflexible tubular member which forms the end of a feeding, injecting or drainage unit. With the catheter there is shown also a needle which is connected to a means for creating a negative pressure to determine the placement of the catheter in the body of a patient as, for example, in a vein. These specific embodiments have been shown for the purpose of illustration and description and as shown in the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 represents a side view of an intracorporeal catheter assembly of this invention and showing a rotating portion with the assembly carrying a needle in the catheter and ready for venipuncture;
FIG. 2 represents a side view in section of an alternate embodiment and showing a rotating assembly which may be placed in the hub portion of an existing catheter and with the needle inserted through the rotating assembly and into the bore of the catheter;
FIG. 3 represents a side view of the rotating assembly of FIG. 2 with the needle withdrawn and the rotating portion moved to a full flow connection of the fluid conductor socket and the catheter mounting end of the assembly;
FIG. 4 represents a sectional view taken on the line 4--4 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 represents a sectional view similar to that of FIG. 4 and showing a slightly different configuration for the seating of the rotating member in the socket portion of the rotatable receiving member;
FIG. 6 represents a fragmentary sectional view taken generally on the center line of an assembly such as in FIG. 3, this view showing the conduit from the socket to the inlet for the catheter offset from the needle passageway in the rotating member;
FIG. 7 represents a sectional view similar to that of FIGS. 4 and 5 but showing a different means of forming and seating the rotatable member in the rotatable receiving member, and
FIG. 8 represents a side view substantially similar to that of FIG. 2 and showing the rotating member, as seen in FIG. 2, with a different method for mounting a filter in the socket receiving portion.
In the following description and in the claims various details will be identified by specific means for convenience. These names, however, are intended to be generic in their application. Corresponding reference characters refer to like members in the eight figures of the drawing. The drawing accompanying and forming part of this specification discloses details of construction for the purpose of explanation of the broader aspects of the invention but it should be understood that structural details may be modified in various respects without departure from the concepts and principles of the invention.
Referring now to the drawing and in particular to FIG. 1, it is to be noted that a flexible catheter member 10 has a needle through the reduced forward portion thereof. This needle, identified as 12, continues through the hub portion 14 and a passageway 16 into and through a rotatable member, generally identified as 18, and to and through an open exit part of this rotatable member. The rear end of the needle 12 is connected to a flash-back indicator 20. Hub 14 is contemplated to include a circular skirt retaining portion 22 which rotatably retains member 18. This rotatable member 18 includes a center circular portion 24 through and in which are formed a needle passageway 26 and a fluid conducting passageway 28. Passageway 28 terminates with and at a tapered socket portion in hub 31 which is sized to receive an end of a fluid conductor for intravenous, blood or similar purpose.
It is to be noted that as turned to the position of FIG. 1, the rotatable member 18 is aligned so that needle 12 may be inserted through passageway 26, 16 and catheter 10. The rotatable member 18, no matter whether in the needle receiving portion of FIG. 1 or the fluid flow transmitting condition such as seen in FIG. 3, is in a fluid-tight mounting in the skirt portion 22 of the hub. This allows a fluid connector end to be mounted in the tapered socket 30 without fluid flow from the end of passageway 28. When the passageways 26 and 28 are connected, the presence of a needle 12 in passageway 26 inhibits a flow in passageway 28. With the rotatable member 18 turned to carry fluid to the catheter 10, the passageway 26 with the needle 12 now absent has both ends closed by the skirt 22 to prevent a fluid flow from either end of the passageway.
In the condition or position of FIG. 1, the rotatable member 18 is turned so that the needle 12 may be inserted through the passageways 26 and 16 and into the catheter 10. The needle and catheter are adapted for penetration and insertion of the catheter into the vein of the patient. The flow conductor may be inserted into the socket 30 either prior to venipuncture or after venipuncture depending upon the technicians preference. The needle 12 is then withdrawn and the rotating member 18 is moved into the position of FIG. 3 with the passageway 28 in alignment with the passageway 16 and the passageway through the catheter 10. Fluid flow then is delivered to the catheter.
In FIGS. 2 and 3, it is to be noted that the rotatable member 18 is secured in a hub portion 114 which may in turn be mounted in a hub portion of a conventional catheter and is made as an insertable unit into a catheter. The conventional catheter is shown in phantom outline and is indicated in FIG. 2 as 110. Needle 12 which has a flash-back indicator 20 on the rear portion thereof passes through a passageway 116 in a socket engaging portion 144 of the insertable member. An outer circular portion 122 retains the rotating members 18 within this receiving circular skirt portion 122. As depicted in FIG. 2, the unit is in the condition of FIG. 1 with the needle 10 passing through passageway 26 in the rotatable member 18. The end of fluid conducting passageway 28 may be formed with a recess 32 in which is carried a filter 34. A shoulder or end portion 36 on the circular skirt portion 122 provides a limiting stop for the hub 31 and its receiving socket 30. A small detent 38 is formed within the tapered recess of the member 122 and is adapted to engage and retain a mating protruding portion 40 formed on the end member 18. This detent 38 is adapted to engage and retain the rotating member in a desired alignment when the rotatable member 18 is rotated to the condition of FIG. 3. The tapered portion of the forward section 114 is adapted to fit within the tapered socket recess of a catheter having the usual catheter construction. The taper 30 in the hub section 3 is also sized to receive a tapered end of a fluid conductor, not shown.
In FIG. 4 it is to be noted that the socket section 122 is formed with a tapered recess 50 with a back wall 52 which retains this socket in the formed configuration. A small space of a few thousandths of an inch, identified as 54, insures that the taper 50 matches and slidably engages a like taper formed circular hub portion 24. This rotatable member 18 is retained in the tapered recess 50 by means of a lip or ring 56 formed at the open side of the tapered recess 50.
As reduced to practice, the circular skirt portion 22 or 122 is formed with a tapered recess 50 having a retaining ring portion 56. This retaining ring may be a full ring or portions thereof forming retaining lugs. The rotatable member 18 is placed with the tapered portion arranged to mate with recess 50. The rotatable member extends about half way into the recess and the hub portion 31 is in the gap between shoulders 36 and 38.
To assemble, a push force is applied to the circular portion 24 of the rotatable member 18. The circular skirt member 22 or 122 is supported sufficiently for the rotary member 18 to be pushed into a seated condition. The filter 32 may be inserted into the rotatable member 18 at the end of passageway 28. The rotatable member is turned to the condition of FIGS. 1 or 2 and the needle 12 inserted into and through the catheter 10 for venipuncture and insertion prior to use.
In FIG. 5 is shown an alternate construction of the circular skirt and its recess in which is mounted a rotatable member. As depicted, a circular skirt portion 222 may have an open recess 250 which has sloped surfaces 251a and 251b. A circular portion 224 having like sloped surfaces is a snug fit in the formed recess. In a mounted condition the circular portion 224 provides a small clearance 254 between a back wall 252 in the skirt portion 222.
To assemble, the circular portion 224 is brought to and partially seated in the recess 250. In the manner of FIG. 4, the rotatable members are then pressed into a seated and rotating condition in the circular skirt retainer 222. The two sloped surfaces 251a and 252b in the skirt recess 250 are compatible with like sloped surfaces formed on the rotatable member. Selective design permits circular portion 224 to be about half way inserted into the recess before mounting pressure is required to press the rotating member into place.
In FIG. 6 there is shown an arrangement in which the needle passageway extends through the circular portion of the rotatable member and the fluid-flow passageway is arranged to by-pass and not intersect the needle passageway. As shown, the components of FIGS. 2 and 4 are used. The circular skirt 122 is as shown in these FIGS. but at the inner terminal end of passageway 116 a transverse recess 117 is formed. This recess does not extend to the outer or open side of the recess. The needle passageway 26 is substantially central of the circular skirt portion 122 and in alignment with bore 116.
A fluid-flow passageway 128 leads from the inner end of the tapered socket 30 in hub portion 31 and past the needle passageway 26 and terminates to provide a flow connection with transverse recess 17. An enlargement 129 of the end of the passageway 128 may be formed in the rotary member to assist in the fluid flow from passageway 128 to the catheter when the hub is turned to the condition of FIG. 3. This by-pass passageway 128 does not intersect the needle passageway so that connection of a fluid-flow tubing in socket 30 does not start a flow to and through passageway 116 until the needle is withdrawn and the rotary member turned to the condition of FIG. 3 and as shown in FIG. 6.
It is anticipated that the rotatable member 324 is inserted through the opening in the circular skirt 322. Passageways 26 and 28 are also formed in the rotatable member and the hub 31 and socket 30 correspond to that, above described. Knob 40 and detent 38, as above described, may also be provided.
Referring next and finally to the rotatable member, as shown in FIG. 8, it is to be noted that any of the above-described rotatable members may have hub 31 formed with a socket 130 which is formed to receive and retain the end of a fluid conductor. The socket is altered to receive a filter 133 which is cup-shaped and of rather a thin wall to allow a fluid flow at or with a low head or pressure. The passageways 26 and 28, as above described, are also provided as is knob 40.
It is to be noted that the rotatable member may be as in FIGS. 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 or modifications thereof. The circular skirt which retains this rotatable member may be an integral part of a catheter, as in FIG. 1, or a part of an insert assembly, as shown in FIG. 2. In either arrangement, a needle 12 is inserted through the rotatable member and passageway 26 and the catheter 10. Into the socket 30 is inserted a flow conductor of conventional construction. While the rotatable member is in the position of FIGS. 1 and 2, penetration of the skin and vein is achieved. The presence of the needle in passageway 26 prevents a flow in passageway 28. With the withdrawal of the needle 12, the rotatable member is turned to the fluid-flow condition of FIG. 3. The stop shoulders 36 and 38 establish the limits of travel of hub 31. Whether or not a filter is used, as seen in FIGS. 2 and 8, the needle does not pass through a filter, rubber or plastic wall.
Turn cocks are known, as shown in French Pat. No. 575,559 published Aug. 1, 1924. Also known is the unsymmetrical assembly of my U.S. Pat. No. 3,863,632, above noted. The present invention provides apparatus that requires little instruction to the administrator and a simple turn operation brings the flow conductor into fluid flow with the catheter. The length of the needle is made to suit the length of the catheter, hub and rotatable member. The diameter of this needle is sized to accommodate the bore of the catheter and the passageway 26 which is of a similar size.
The present invention provides many advantages as, for example, this unit adapts to most commercial catheters and no change is required in most catheters presently in use; provides all the benefits of bloodless catheterization and minimizes contamination by the pre-hookup of the intravenous unit; provides easy insertion into the patient without assistance by an aid; allows the addition of medicaments to the system without penetration of the rubber connecting tubing as presently is the practice, and thus eliminates the danger of microscopic rubber particles being intoduced into the body. This invention also eliminates the need to disconnect the catheter from the intravenous unit to administer medicaments, if and when desired.
Terms such as "left", "right", "up", "down", "bottom", "top", "front", "back", "in", "out" and the like are applicable to the embodiments shown and described in conjunction with the drawing. These terms are merely for the purposes of description and do not necessarily apply to the position in which the rotatable assembly for a flexible catheter may be constructed or used.
While particular embodiments of the rotatable assembly have been shown and described it is to be understood the invention is not limited thereto since modifications may be made within the scope of the accompanying claims and protection is sought to the broadest extent the prior art allows.
