ABSTRACT:
A device for carrying, manipulating, and securing a hollow, medical subcutaneous infusion needle. The carrier comprises a body firmly holding the needle, a pair of laterally extending relatively angularly variable wings, and a control member. One handed-grasping and manipulation of the control member permits both unlocking the wings for changing their angular relationship to accommodate the desired angle of insertion of the needle into a patient, and locking the wings to brace the carrier at the desired angle. Manipulation of the control member also permits rotation of the needle independent of the angle of insertion, during the insertion procedure. Squeezing the control member provides an unset condition in which relative movement of the wings with respect to each other and with respect to the body may occur, and relaxation of squeezing provides a set or locked condition. The control member is repeatably manipulatable for purposes of readjusting the depth of penetration, angle of insertion, or rotational setting of the needle. Following desired placement of the needle, the control member may be freely swung to a substantially flat and out of the way position and the device secured to the patient.
