This application is a divisional of patent application Ser. No. 12/025,580 entitled “Powered Driver” filed Feb. 4, 2008, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,504,477, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/910,147, entitled “Powered Driver,” filed Apr. 4, 2007. The contents of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/449,476, filed May 30, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,699,850; U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/253,959, filed Oct. 19, 2008, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,506,568; U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/253,467, filed Oct. 19, 2008, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,876,826; U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/025,580, filed Feb. 4, 2008, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,504,477; and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/910,147, filed Apr. 4, 2007 are incorporated herein in their entirety by this reference.
Examples of powered drivers are shown in pending patent applications Ser. No. 10/449,503 filed May 30, 2003 entitled “Apparatus and Method to Provide Emergency Access To Bone Marrow,” now U.S. Pat. No. 7,670,328 ; Ser. No. 10/449,476 filed May 30, 2003 entitled “Apparatus and Method to Access Bone Marrow,” now U.S. Pat. No. 7,699,850 ; and Ser. No. 11/042,912 filed Jan. 25, 2005 entitled “Manual Intraosseous Device,” now U.S. Pat. No. 8,641,715.
Preferred embodiments of the disclosure and its advantages may be best understood by reference to FIGS. 1A-5D wherein like numbers refer to same and like parts. Vascular system access may be essential for treatment of many serious diseases, chronic conditions and acute emergency situations. Yet, many patients experience extreme difficulty obtaining effective treatment because of inability to obtain or maintain intravenous (IV) access. An intraosseous (IO) space provides a direct conduit to a patent's vascular system and systemic circulation. Therefore, IO access is generally an effective route to administer a wide variety of drugs, other medications and fluids equivalent to IV access. Rapid IO access or emergency vascular access (EVA) offers great promise for almost any serious emergency that requires vascular access to administer life saving drugs, other medications and/or fluids when traditional IV access is difficult or impossible.
Handle 236 may be generally described as an elongated, hollow container sized to receive battery pack or power supply 234 therein. Housing 230 a including handle 236 may be formed from relatively strong, heavy duty polymeric material. For some applications housing 232 may be formed in two halves which are joined together to form a fluid tight seal with the various components associated with powered driver 230 a disposed therein.
For such applications power source or power supply 234 may include disposable batteries. In other embodiments, handle 236 may include exterior connections configured to allow recharging of power supply 234.
Another aspect of the present disclosure may include attaching a trigger guard with a housing using a lanyard. For example, lanyard 296 as shown in FIG. 2A may be formed from various types of flexible, light weight material. First end 297 of lanyard 296 may be securely engaged with an appropriately sized opening formed in trigger guard 290. Second end 298 of lanyard 296 may be securely engaged on the end of handle 236. As a result of using lanyard 296, an operator may quickly release trigger guard 290 from power driver 230 c but will avoid losing trigger guard 290.
Additional embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in FIGS. 3. For such embodiments a power supply 234 b may include five batteries 238. The embodiment of the present disclosure as represented by powered driver 230 c may also include one or more of the electronic circuit boards.
For embodiments represented by power driver 330 b as shown in FIG. 5C and 5D, trigger guard 390 b may have a generally U shaped configuration similar to corresponding portions of trigger guard 390 a. However, the length of trigger guard 390 b may be substantially less than the length of trigger guard 390 a. For embodiments such as shown in FIGS. 5C and 5D, pivot pin 392 may be disposed between portions of trigger guard 390 b and adjacent portions of handle 396. Pivot pin 392 may allow rotational movement of trigger guard 390 b from a first position blocking access to trigger assembly 362 as shown in FIG. 5C and a second position allowing access to trigger assembly 362 as shown in FIG. 5D.
