Description

Holding device for holding a protective cap for the cannula of a syringe and holding device for holding an ampoule.

Technical field:

The invention relates to a holding device for holding a protective cap for the cannula of a syringe and a holding device for holding an ampoule.

State of the art:

Injuries to stings in human medicine and in veterinary medicine, such as with cannulas and / or splintering medication ampoules when cutting the ampoule head, cause enormous health and thus economic damage worldwide.

Infected cannulas are not the only danger. Any injuries caused by a puncture with the cannula or cuts by a broken or splintering ampoule are possible entry points for pathogens and thus permanent sources of danger. The wearing of protective gloves only protects against contact with the pathogen, but not against injury (stitch / cut) through the protective glove, which predetermines the permanent risk of pathogens entering.

All disposable cannulas are supplied with plastic protective caps / sleeves. This means that the protective cap must be removed from the cannula before use. Most of the time, the cannulas sit relatively firmly in the protective cap; when pulling off a force is usually required. There is often the risk that when the protective cap is pulled off vigorously, if the cannula has suddenly become detached from the firm fit in the protective cap / sheath, a reflexive countermovement takes place with the arm of the user and, as a result, the user with the cannula sticks in your own protective cap-holding hand.

This process is very difficult, especially for many female users, since it helps to loosen and pull the cannula out of the protective cap the fingernail behind the front bulge of the cannula and must be pulled or held against it. Often, female persons have long, put on and / or glued fingernails, with which this process can only be carried out very hindering.

But even when breaking off the medication ampoule by hand, it often happens that the ampoule head does not break off cleanly and splinters or splinters. Often, very sharp, longer protruding sharp glass edges arise when breaking off. Often these circumstances also lead to injuries, which in turn creates opportunities for infections.

Even if all of this works perfectly, there is still the risk of a stab injury if the syringe is now to be filled with the medication from the ampoule with the free cannula attached.

This is usually done in such a way that the opened medication ampoule is held in one hand with the thumb and index finger. The other hand holds the syringe with the cannula attached. Now the cannula has to be immersed in the relatively small opening of the medication ampoule in order to draw the liquid out of the ampoule into the syringe with the syringe. Here, too, it often happens that you miss the small ampoule opening with the tip of the cannula and prick your finger or hand directly next to the ampoule.

In medical practice and in hospitals, auxiliary staff usually prepare and provide several short-term syringes for injections for the doctor. The finished syringes are then deposited until they are administered. For safe protection against contamination of the cannula, but also for protection against accidental contact or injury with the free cannula, the protective cap must now be put back on the cannula, which in turn creates a major source of danger because the cannula is inserted into the relatively small opening the protective cap must be inserted, which in turn is held with the other hand. In particular, for example Mass vaccinations in developing countries and in disaster areas are practiced in this way. It also happens very quickly that the small opening of the protective cap is missed and the user sticks the cannula in the finger or in the hand.

E.g. If several syringes with different medication contents, medication strengths or different dosages have been prepared and prepared, it can happen that the person who later injects can no longer correctly identify the contents. The auxiliary staff is instructed to provide the empty medication ampoule that belongs to the prefabricated syringe. However, moving, falling, or the like can easily cause confusion.

Ultimately, even today, many users still use the syringe / cannula for disposal or to protect them from contact after using the syringe / cannula, or because they do not always have a cannula disposal container at hand (especially when visiting the house, for example, in an emergency at the accident site , mass vaccinations in disaster areas, etc.), put back in the protective cap. Here, too, the above Hazards.

The protective caps of the cannulas are present anyway and cause waste. However, the risk of injury, combined with the great risk of infection of the user, speaks against being put back on the used cannula.

With all of these Even wearing protective gloves does not protect you from dangers.

DE 41 13 456 C1 discloses an essentially rod-shaped device for holding the protective cap of an injection needle by means of a clamping bolt designed as a screw spindle. The disadvantage of this device is that it cannot be operated with one hand. Furthermore, the screw spindle is operated - in particular if it rotates several times are necessary - time expenditure, which can be particularly important when using the device, for example in the case of mass vaccinations. Another disadvantage of this device is that there is often a confusion of the direction of rotation when opening or closing the clamp. The user must either consciously remember the required direction of rotation (open / close) or laboriously determine it again and again by trying or reading a marking, so that a purely intuitive actuation of the clamping is only possible to a limited extent.

Another essentially rod-shaped device for holding the protective cap of an injection needle is known from US Pat. No. 4,950,015. This device consists essentially of a tube from which a spring-loaded clamping mechanism can be extended, which is able to grip around and hold the protective cap by means of an elastic loop. This device, too, cannot be operated with one hand.

Another device for holding the protective cap of an injection needle is known from US Pat. No. 4,596,562. This device has a board in which there are several holes of different sizes. In its tapered end, the protective cap is inserted so far into one of the holes, the diameter of which is smaller than the largest diameter of the protective cap, until the protective cap is clamped by the edge of the hole, i.e. stuck in the hole. The disadvantage here is that with this type of clamping there is either the risk that the protective cap may accidentally fall out of the hole, or the protective cap must be pressed into the hole with very great force and consequently only with a correspondingly great amount of force again from the hole can be removed. Furthermore, the clamping of the protective cap cannot be released with one hand; rather, the protective cap must be pulled out of the hole with one hand while the other hand is holding the board.

From US 4,596,562 it is also known to hold a protective cap, which has a flange plate at its closed end, in that the flange plate is inserted into a gap between two plates, one of the Plates has a recess for the passage of the tubular part of the protective cap. A disadvantage here is that this type of holder is only possible for protective caps which have a flange plate at their closed end.

All these known devices also have the disadvantage that these devices with the protective cap held therein cannot be placed on a table without the syringe or the protective cap inserted into the protective cap touching the table. Furthermore, apart from the protective cap, no other objects, in particular no ampoules from which the syringe is to be filled with active substance, can be held with these devices, which means that e.g. the above-mentioned risk when filling the syringe is not reduced by these devices. Each of these devices thus defuses only a single step in relation to the dangers explained above, but not the entire sequence of the steps involved in injections.

All these devices have in common that the protective cap must be fixed so strongly that the protective cap can be separated from the cannula despite the tight fit on the cannula. Some types of protective caps make it difficult to have a very smooth (and therefore slippery) outer surface, which only allows a sufficient fixing and thus a separation of the protective cap and cannula when it is clamped with a very high clamping force.

This in turn requires e.g. with spring-loaded clamping a very strong spring force, which in turn can only be actuated by strong fingers. In devices with a threaded spindle, the multiple rotation to be carried out with two fingers and the very frequently occurring irritation in the respectively required direction of rotation (open / close) are very disadvantageous.

In addition, the known devices only have the possibility of handling when removing and / or attaching the cannula protective cap from the cannula on. The rest of the necessary and dangerous handling when finishing syringes, as described above, remains unaffected.

Therefore, even when these devices are used, the overall handling of the syringe preparation continues to present the risk of injury when the ampoule head breaks off and when the tip of the cannula is immersed in the relatively small ampoule opening for the purpose of sucking out the medicament into the syringe.

The object of the invention is to provide a device which, if possible, all when handling syringes and / or ampoules, i.e. includes activities required by syringes or ampoules or syringes and ampoules and excludes all the dangers that arise, all functions / activities being able to be carried out extremely effectively, simply, quickly, safely and in chronological order and which are handy and can be carried "everywhere on the man" In particular, a simple, light, portable device that can be operated with one hand and can easily be carried on a body, for example in a coat pocket, is to be created, which enables the handling of syringes and / or ampoules and those with the associated activities significantly reduces the associated risks.

FIG. 12 shows another image modified compared to FIG. 1. An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to drawings 1 to 9. Figures 10a to 12 relate to other embodiments of the invention.

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a portable holding device 1 according to the invention with an elongated base body A, a receptacle A1 for receiving the protective cap for the cannula of a syringe, a locking mechanism for locking the protective hood in the receptacle A1, an ampoule receptacle C4 for receiving a Ampoule, an ampoule locking mechanism for locking the ampoule in the ampoule receptacle C4, and with a separating device D. The locking mechanism and the ampoule locking mechanism are partly located within the base body A and are therefore only partially visible in FIG. 1. The protective cap, the syringe and the ampoule are not shown in FIG. 1.

The base body A has a handle A9 for one-handed holding and handling of the holding device 1, which is arranged in a first end region of the base body 1. Furthermore, the holding device 1 has a receptacle A1 for the protective cap, which is spaced from the handle A9 and is arranged in the other, namely the second end region of the base body A and is designed as a through hole A1. This can preferably be inserted into the receptacle A1 up to its mouth.

1a shows a cross section through the receptacle A1 and part of the base body A of the holding device 1, the separating device D being omitted. The receptacle A1 is designed as a through-hole A1 through the base body A and opens into two opposite outer surfaces A7.A8 of the base body A and is surrounded in the area of its two mouths by a depression A2, A4, which surrounds the mouth K3 of the protective cap K (Fig. 9) fixed to the same arranged protective cap bead K1 is able to take that the protective cap bead K1 does not protrude beyond the outer surface A7 or A8 of the base body A, the bottom A5 or A6 of the depression A2 or A4 as Support surface and stop A5 or A6 for the protective bead K1 is able to serve.

1b shows a cross section through the receptacle A1 and a part of the base body A of the holding device 1, the protective cap K for the cannula G4 of a syringe G (FIG. 6) being accommodated in the receptacle A1, the separating device D being shown in part , The bottom A6 of the depression A4 acts as a contact surface and stop A6 for the protective bead K1. For reasons of clarity, FIG. 1b shows the neck G1 and the cannula bead G2, but not the rest of the syringe G.

In Fig. 2, the base body A is shown cut open so that the locking mechanism B, B1, B2, B3 and the ampoule locking mechanism C, C1, C2, C3 are exposed. The locking mechanism B, B1, B2, B3 is a spring-loaded clamping mechanism B, B1, B2, B3, which has a locking element B with rigidly attached trigger handle B1 and a coil spring B2. In the unactuated state, the locking element B, loaded by the spiral spring B2, engages in the receptacle A1 and is in this way able to lock a protective cap K accommodated in the receptacle A1 by clamping in a defined position and orientation with respect to the holding device 1. By actuating the trigger handle B1, which is possible according to the invention by means of a single finger 5 of a hand 4 carrying the holding device 1 by means of the handle A9, the locking element B is displaced in the direction of the spiral spring B2 with compression thereof, and thereby the locking mechanism B, B1, B2, B3 actuated, namely released, so that the locking of the protective cap K in the receptacle 1 is ended.

The ampoule locking mechanism C, C1, C2, C3 is also a spring-loaded clamping mechanism and consists of an ampoule locking element C with a push handle C3 rigidly attached to one end, with a rigidly attached to the other end of the ampoule locking element C, outside of the base body A arranged tab C2 and a spring C1. The spring C1 pulls the rider C2 in the direction of a counter bearing A3, which by a Outer surface of the base body A is formed. The space C4 between the thrust bearing A3 and the slide C2 forms an ampoule receptacle C4, which can be expanded against the restoring force of the spring C1 by pressing or pushing the push handle C3 in the direction of the slide C2 so that an ampoule 3 (Fig. 7) can be inserted into the ampoule holder C4. In the non-actuated state, ie when the push handle C3 is released, the ampoule 3 accommodated in the ampoule receptacle C4 is pressed against the counter bearing A3 by the tab C2 and thus locked in the ampoule receptacle C4 by clamping in a defined position and orientation with respect to the holding device 1 , By pressing the push handle C3 again, the locking mechanism C, C1, C2, C3 is released, ie the locking of the ampoule 3 in the receptacle C4 is ended.

The locking mechanism B, B1, B2, B3 and the ampoule locking mechanism C, C1, C2, C3 can advantageously be operated by one and the same individual finger 5, in particular thumb or index finger, which actuates the holding device 1 by means of the hand 4 carrying the handle A9, namely solvable.

Fig. 3 shows the ampule locking mechanism C, C1, C2, C3 in perspective, it can be seen that the tab C4 is concave in the direction of the counter-bearing A3 to the position and orientation of those accommodated in the ampoule receptacle C4 Stabilize ampoule 3 further.

Fig. 4 shows the locking mechanism B, B1, B2, B3 in a perspective view. The trigger handle B1 is e.g. formed by an outer surface of the locking element B. This is recessed in a V-shape in its end region facing the receptacle A1, namely at the contact point B3, in order to further stabilize the position and orientation of the protective cap K accommodated in the receptacle A1.

To explain the mode of operation of the separating device D, reference is made to FIGS. 5 and 6. Fig. 5 shows the separation device D in a perspective view. 6 shows a syringe G with a cannula G4, a cannula bead G2 and a neck G1 of the cannula attachment as well as with the protective cap K.

In the example of FIG. 5, the separating device D is of elongated shape and can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the separating device D with respect to the base body A, an end region of the separating device D having recessed grips in order to facilitate manual operation. In its other end region, the separating device D is chamfered in a wedge shape, whereby a separating wedge D2 is formed. The separating wedge D2 has a cutout D1 which is open in the direction of the leading edge of the wedge, which enables the separating wedge D2 to partially encompass the neck G1 of the cannula attachment (FIG. 6) located between the cannula bead G2 and the protective cap bead K1 when the separating device D is actuated.

The separating wedge D2, thanks to the recess D1 when the protective cap K is fitted onto the syringe G and locked in the receptacle A1, is able to engage in the space between the cannula bead G2 and the protective cap bead K1 such that the separating wedge D2 on the syringe G is one of the protective cap K exerts force directed through which the syringe G is separated from the protective cap K, blasted off, lifted off or loosened. The separating device D is preferably coupled to a reset mechanism, which brings the separating device D into a rest position after it has been actuated.

The separating device D is preferably arranged on the outside of the base body A (FIG. 1) such that the hand 4 carrying the holding device 1 can be actuated by the thumb. According to a preferred variant of the invention, the separating device D can be exchanged for one with a separating wedge of a different shape or size. The separating device D can have a holding clip which allows the separating device D to be plugged into a shirt pocket or coat pocket in the manner of a ballpoint pen. FIG. 7 shows the holding device from FIG. 1 held in a hand 4 with the protective cap K accommodated in the receptacle A1 and the ampoule 3 accommodated in the ampoule receptacle C4. The receptacle A1 is in FIG. 7 through the syringe G onto which the protective cap K is attached is covered. The index finger 5 of the hand 4 carrying the holding device 1 is able to actuate the locking mechanism via the trigger handle B1 and the ampule locking mechanism via the push handle C5.

FIG. 8a shows a side view of a holder H which, according to a preferred embodiment, can be attached to the holding device 1 and is used to hold a medication pocket H4 not shown in FIG. 8a. FIG. 8b shows a front view of the holder H from FIG. 8a, FIG. 8c shows a view of the holder H from above with the medication pocket H4 held therein, and FIG. 8d shows a side view of the holder H from FIG. 8a with the medication pocket H4 held therein. According to a preferred embodiment, the holding device 1 has a corresponding groove of T-shaped cross section for receiving the sliding guide H5.

FIG. 9 shows a protective cap K, enlarged compared to FIG. 1b and not shown to scale, with a protective bead K1 fixedly attached in the region of its mouth K3, which has a front face K2 facing away from the closed end of the protective cap.

The protective cap K is locked in accordance with the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 9 by the clamping mechanism B, B1, B2, B3, that is to say by friction between the contact point B3 and the protective cap K. On the basis of FIGS. 10a to 10d, an embodiment is described below of the invention, in which the locking of the protective cap K is based not on friction, but on positive locking, so that the stability of the locking does not depend on the compressive force of the spiral spring B2. In the embodiment of FIGS. 10a to 10d, the locking takes place by means of a separating device D ', which thus serves both for separating the syringe G from the protective cap K and for the positive locking of the protective cap K in the receptacle A1, ie in this embodiment, the separating and locking mechanisms are identical to one another.

For reasons of clarity, FIGS. 10c and 10d show the neck G1 and the cannula bead G2, but not the rest of the syringe G. In FIGS. 10a to 10d the base body A is only partially shown and tab C2 is not shown.

The separating device D 'of FIGS. 10a to 10d has grip recesses (not shown) in its one end region for ease of actuation and a separating wedge D2' in its other end region, into which a recess D1 'projecting in the direction of the end facing away from the grip recesses protrudes. The separating device D 'has a recess D1 \ a separating wedge D2' and a fork with two prongs D3 'and differs from the separating device D from FIG. 5 in that the separating wedge D2' in the direction of the end facing away from the recessed grips Separating device D 'connects a fork D3', the two tines D3 'are each cuboid and spaced apart from one another by the recess D1'. The separating device D 'is guided in its longitudinal direction by means of a guide, not shown. The tines D3 'project through a bridge L, which acts as a stop for the tines D3' against an upward movement, based on the viewing direction of FIGS. 10c and 10d.

Figures 10a and 10c each show this embodiment in a first actuated state in top view and side view. The protective cap K is received in the receptacle A1, the base A6 of the depression A4 acting as a support surface and stop A6 for the protective cap bead K1 against a downward movement (based on the viewing direction of FIG. 10c). The tines D3 'rest on the end face K2 of the protective cap bead K1 applied by the closed end K4 of the protective cap K and therefore serve as a stop against a shift of the protective cap K upward, based on the viewing direction of FIG. 10c. Lateral movement (again based on the viewing direction of FIG. 10c) of the protective cap relative to the base body A is likewise not possible, since the protective cap A is recorded in the recording A1. Thus, the protective cap K is positively locked according to the invention.

The separating device D is thus also able to act as a locking mechanism D '. This locking mechanism D 'is designed as a locking mechanism and is able to positively lock the protective cap K received in the receptacle A1 without closing, narrowing or obstructing the opening K3 of the protective cap K.

The positive locking has the advantage over the friction-based locking described above that the positive locking cannot be released by high tensile force overcoming the friction on the protective cap in the direction facing away from its closed end K4. In order to release the locking, the separating device is moved against this arrow direction from FIG. 10c until the prongs D3 'release the end face K2 of the protective cap K. The separating device D 'is now in the unactuated state.

In the opposite direction, namely in the direction of the arrow in FIGS. 10a and 10c, the separating device D ^{1 can be moved} into a second actuated state (FIGS. 10b and 10d), in which the separating wedge D2 'separates or detaches the syringe G from the Protective cap K in the same manner as already described above with reference to Figures 5 and 6.

In an embodiment of the holding device according to the invention according to FIGS. 10a to 10d, the locking mechanism B, B1, B2, B3 from FIG. 4 can in principle be dispensed with.

Of course, the positive locking explained with reference to FIGS. 10a to 10d can also be implemented independently of or without a separating device. For example, the separating wedge D2 'can be omitted; with the resulting mechanism is still like pre-positive locking of the protective cap K, but it cannot be separated from the syringe G.

FIG. 11 shows a receptacle A1 'in a base body A' which is modified compared to the receptacle A1 from FIG. 1, the cross section of which narrows in the direction facing away from the locking mechanism B, B1, B2, B3. The receptacle A1 'of FIG. 11 is suitable for receiving protective caps of different diameters.

FIG. 12 shows a further receptacle A1 "in a base body A" which is modified compared to FIG. 1. In contrast to the receptacles A1 from FIG. 1 and A1 'from FIG. 11, this is not designed as a hole but as a laterally open recess A1 ", which allows the protective cap to be inserted and removed laterally.

The basic bodies A ', A "and the locking mechanism B, B1, B2, B3 are only partially shown in FIGS. 11 and 12. The tab C4 is not shown in these figures.

8c shows the top view of H with, for example, the inserted ampoule H4 and the belt / band around the ampoule / vial H6.

FIG. 8d shows, as in FIG. 8a, the side view of H again, with, for example, inserted ampoule H4 and the belt / band around / around the ampoule / vial H6.

The device is held with one hand at its rear end, which is shaped in such a way that it can be held in the ball of the hand without interference (Fig. 7).

In the vicinity of the front end there is a round or otherwise shaped, preferably step-shaped recess / passage A1 / A2, which has at least the size in its outer diameter A2 that the bead K1 located on the cannula protective cap can be inserted. The feedthrough A1 or recess is dimensioned such that the cannula cap can be passed through, but rests against it with the lower end of the bead K1 of the cannula protective cap K, so that the cannula protective cap K is inserted into the recess only up to the lower end of the above-mentioned bead K1 can be. As can be seen in FIG. 2, recesses for receiving a clamping element B with attached actuating handle B1 and spring B2, as well as an ampoule holder element C, and an ampoule break-off channel E are inserted in the basic elements of the device, and the separating element D, FIG. 1, is placed or inserted. The base body can e.g. have a groove which serves to guide the separating element D and in which the same engages.

The clamping element B engages in the recess / bushing A1 / A2 for the cannula protective cap. The push rod is preferably held in the foremost position by spring force B2 when not actuated, so that the clamping element engages with its front end in the recess for receiving the cannula cap A1 / A2. The spring force can be relatively weak here for easy actuation, since, as will be explained further below, the cannula cap only has to be held relatively easily in the recess / passage. In the holding device according to the invention, there is no relevant pulling force on the fixed protective cap and / or cannula at any time, not even when separating stuck cannulas / protective caps.

The push rod is preferably actuated with the index finger via a trigger handle B1 located in a cutout in the base element. By

Withdrawing the trigger handle B1 will clamp against the

Resistance of the relatively weak spring force withdrawn to such an extent that the

Recess / passage for receiving the cannula cap A1 is completely released. After inserting the cannula with the cannula protective cap, the trigger is released and the cap is adequately fixed by the clamping element which is pressed forward by spring force. To achieve an even better relative hold on this definition, the can in the

Recess / passage engaging part of the clamping element can also be formed from elastic material. It is preferably proposed to shape the end of the clamping element lying in the recess / passage such that the part lying approximately corresponds to the radius of the protective cap and is therefore relatively “snug” or is V-shaped. By means of a further device (separating element D) attached to the device, which is preferably actuated by pushing with the thumb, the cannula can easily be detached from the cannula protective cap, even in the case of very tightly connected parts. Here, a part with a sliding device and a wedge-like front part is preferably proposed. The front part has a recess D1, which is dimensioned so that the narrow part of the cannula hub G1 fits in between. The front part of the separating element is somewhat higher in height than the distance between the bead edges of cannula G2 and cannula protective cap K or as the clear space between the cannula bead G2 and the protective cap bead K1 when not in use. Wedge-like bevels D2 at the forefront slide when the separating element is pushed between the bead edges of the cannula bead and cannula protective cap bead (G2 / K1) and cause the cannula and cannula protective cap to spread so that the two parts are separated from each other to such an extent that the tight fit of the cannula in the The protective cap is released without jerks, without exertion of force, without any tensile force being required by the user on the cannula and / or cannula protective cap and without the user having to touch the cannula and / or protective cap.

Due to the spreading with the wedge-shaped separating element, the cannula and protective cap are separated so far that the cannula located on the syringe can now be easily pulled out of the protective cap together with the syringe.

The element for separating the cannula and protective cap can also be designed as a pivoting element or in another suitable manner. It can also be provided that other / different cannula / protective cap versions with different sizes, shapes, dimensions etc. can be used by replacing and / or adding additional parts / adapters to the element. For this purpose, a part of the separating element can also be attached, for example, rotatably or pivotably, and contain different wedge-like end pieces, so that different types of Cannula protection caps and / or cannula protection cap dimensions different separating wedges can be used.

Likewise, the separating element can have different separating heads at its two ends (with different dimensions in D1 / D2 and / or wedge height), so that by simply turning / repositioning the separating element, another separating wedge for other syringe brands with possibly different dimensions of the beads on the cannula and / or cannula protection cap can be used.

The separating element can have suitable features such as e.g. Bulges, recessed grips D3 and / or elevations / beads or the like, which are suitable for better movement of the separating element, e.g. To advance and / or retract, rotate or swivel, etc. to ensure.

A return mechanism (e.g. spring) can also be provided, which returns the element to its starting position - starting position after actuation. Appropriate arrangements on the base element (e.g. by enlarging / widening the sliding guides at the rear end of the sliding guide) make it easy to remove the separating element in accordance with a preferred embodiment and can be quickly and easily attached or repositioned to left-handers as well as right-handers on the other side of the body become. In this case, an easy-to-operate lock can be attached at a suitable point, which limits the separating element in its path to the "change position" and thereby prevents unintentional removal of the element. The separating element can also be designed such that it is simultaneously on at least one side as eg clip D4 for inserting into the coat pocket, for example.

A further device, ampoule holder element C, can be located on the device, which can preferably be actuated in a sliding manner on the slide C3 with the same finger and from the same finger position (see FIG. 7), with which the trigger handle B1 of the clamping element is actuated becomes. Also this ampoule holder element C is preferably located in suitable recesses on / in the base element A, preferably opposite the pull-off grip of the clamping element, so that the front part of the ampoule holder element is pushed out of the base element by simply moving the finger forward, as shown in FIG. 7 (with inserted medication ampoule) is recognizable. The ampoule holding element C is preferably provided with a return mechanism, such as, for example, a spring C1, and preferably has an angled tab / bend C2 suitable for receiving and holding ampoules on the side protruding from the base element.

Both this tab / bend and the counterpart on the base element can be shaped (preferably in a V-shape) in such a way that a relatively secure lateral hold is ensured even for different ampoule diameters and / or ampoule sizes for an ampoule clamped between them. The ampoule holder element serves to hold the ampoule after breaking off the ampoule head. This allows the user with the cannula on the syringe (after separating the cannula protective cap and cannula) to safely immerse into the ampoule in order to suck the contents of the ampoule into the syringe without holding or touching the ampoule with fingers.

To break off ampoule heads, a recess can be provided in base element A as ampoule break-off channel E, preferably in a channel-like manner with only one open side for inserting the ampoule head. The cutout is preferably positioned such that the entire channel for inserting the ampoule head is accommodated in the base element. The ampoule head is inserted into the channel and the ampoule head can be broken off by moving the ampoule sideways in the longitudinal direction of the base element.

For better breaking off, the channel at the lowest point (at the inlet opening) can have a slightly protruding, angular nose / nub E1 on one side, against which the demolition parts of the ampoule abut directly during the demolition movement and thus improve the demolition. The demolition channel E can also have such shapes on its inner walls that, for example due to curvatures on the inner walls of the channel, the ampoule head fits better when it is broken off.

The demolition channel is preferably located in the base element in a somewhat oblique position, as shown in FIG. This ensures better handling when breaking off the ampoule. A channel that is closed except for the entry opening has the advantage that even if the ampoule head to be broken is broken off and / or splintered improperly, the splinters initially lie in the channel and do not fly in the hand and / or around, thus largely preventing injuries.

One or more fold-out or swivel-type bow / wing-like mechanisms F or other measures serving the purpose can be attached to the device at a suitable location as an additional device, see FIG , Devices of this type are preferably positioned on the body A in such a way that they are flush with the outer contours of the body in the folded state.

Devices serving this purpose can also be designed as separate additional devices and / or designed in such a way that they can simply be placed / attached to the device, etc. if required. Likewise, a small frame, block or the like can be provided for this purpose, in the recess and / or clamp holder the device and / or several devices are inserted / inserted for better standing / storing. Such additional devices make it possible e.g. the inexperienced user, e.g. when filling a syringe from the medication ampoule, put the entire device out of your hand and operate the syringe with both hands to fill it.

Measures can be provided on the device, both on the body A and on all elements, such as bores with and / or without thread, sliding fits, plug-in fits, clip devices and the like, to which Additional accessories / accessories such as Element H or a rail, for example, to which additional accessories / accessories can be temporarily docked.

In particular e.g. in the case of mass vaccinations in disaster areas, the vaccine is usually filled into the syringe not from small medication ampoules, but from medication vials with a larger content. In order to work with the device with one hand and quickly, the element H can be docked onto the device for this purpose, which allows the fastening of such a medication vial to the device.

The following are preferably provided as further useful dockable additions / accessories:
