How To Childproof Your Gun Safe
If you have a passion for firearms and a baby on the way, you want to know the best way to keep your family safe. You want to protect your family from harm while also keeping your firearms out of the wrong hands. Here are tips on how to make gun safes child proof: 1. Keep ammunition in a separate safe. Buy a separate locking safe for ammunition. Make sure all your guns are unloaded before placing them in the safe. Hide the keys for your ammunition safe in a separate area from the ones for your gun safe. Be sure to keep all keys hidden in a place where your children can't easily find them. 2. Install foolproof locks. Hire a locksmith to install safer locks on your gun safe. If you have a safe that uses keys, you should switch to a combination lock. Higher tech locks that use fingerprints or palm scans are the best choice. You should also install a different kind of lock for your ammunition safe. For example, if you use a combination lock for your gun safe, install a fingerprint lock for your ammunition safe. The added layer of security will also keep your family safe during a burglary. 3. Hide the safes. Keep your gun safes out of sight. If your child can't see the safe, his or her curiosity won't get the best of them. If you can afford it, the best way to hide the safe is within a wall under a hidden panel. You can also hide the safe behind a painting or large piece of furniture. If this isn't an option, the best way to hide your safe is in the back of your closet, or in a piece of furniture like a wardrobe or trunk. You can also buy a gun safe that looks like a piece of furniture. 4. Install locks on your guns. Have special locks installed on all your guns. There are several types of gun locks you can buy. The steel cable lock wraps around the gun once it's disassembled. This prevents the gun from being put back together. There are also trigger locks that prevent the gun from being fired. Cable locks work best for guns that are for recreational purposes instead of protection. 5. Make sure to mount or bolt down all gun safes. Firearms aren't the only danger of gun safes. A child can get hurt if a safe falls or tips over. Make sure all your gun safes are mounted or bolted down. This not only keeps your child safe from falling hazards, but prevents tampering. If someone breaks in, they won't be able to carry the safe off. These are five tips that will childproof your gun safe and protect your family. Contact a locksmith in your area for more...read more
Increase The Safety Of Your New Home With The Help Of A Locksmith
Moving into a new house can come with a number of new lifestyle changes and services you'll need, but the services of a locksmith is often forgotten once the key to the house is in your hands. In order to prevent a potential break-in and gain the peace of mind that your home is protected, make it a priority to get the services of a locksmith soon after moving in. Get All the Doors Rekeyed The previous residents of your new home may still have some spare keys in their possession, so it's important to get all the doors rekeyed.

By getting every lock rekeyed, you can have the peace of mind that only you have all the keys for your home. Consolidate All Your Doors Into One Key Older homes that have undergone renovations or additions over time may have a number of different keys needed. In order to get around your home more conveniently, ask about consolidating all the doors into one universal key from the locksmith. Look Into New Locks for the Windows While windows simply lock with a turn of a knob, you may find that some have a lock which require a key. Getting new keys for the windows as well as the doors will add extra protection in your home. Consider the Security Level of Your Locks Even with all the lock keys replaced, some locks may not be as effective as keeping potential burglars out. In order to ensure that your home is as safe as possible, look into extra measures such as upgrading to new locks altogether. Exploring your options such as double and single cylinder deadbolts can help you pick out new locks with your safety in mind. Ask About Spare Keys and Hiding Tips Having a few spare keys is essential since you may want to give a spare to a family friend or neighbor. If you're interested in having a spare key hidden somewhere outside your home, make sure to ask the locksmith about potential hiding spots so that the key is as protected as possible. Taking your time considering the services of a locksmith (such as one from The Lock Shop) can make all the difference when moving into a new home. By having a locksmith visit your home shortly after moving in, you can be comfortable and know that your home has the protection you...read more
What Does A Commercial Locksmith Do – And What Can They Do For You ?
A commercial locksmith may have many of the same duties that a residential locksmith has, but their work may tend to be more involved. In many cases, the commercial locksmith works for a single company, and has an office at the company's main site. The commercial locksmith will only work out of their office occasionally since much of their work requires them to be at various areas on and around the property. Keep reading to learn more about what a commercial locksmith does for the company that employs them. Mobile Work Much of a commercial locksmith's work may vary from one day to the next. The commercial locksmith will be there to deal with any lockouts that happen on property, and will also deal with situations like: Creating new building and office keys when needed Replacing identification badges when lost Helping employees who are locked out of their vehicle The commercial locksmith may also visit other branches of the company that employs them as needed. All of the jobs above mean that many commercial locksmiths act as a mobile locksmith in many cases. Thus, a great deal of flexibility is important for any commercial locksmith who works for a single employer. Maintaining Property Security The commercial locksmith's primary job is usually maintaining security for the company that employs them. This involves much more than just lock and key systems in most cases. The majority of businesses that employ commercial locksmiths have high-end security systems that the locksmith is responsible for. The systems may include security measures like: Keypad entry systems Electronic badge entry systems Biometric lock systems (fingerprint lock systems) These systems require regular, and possibly daily, maintenance to function at their peak. Every time a new employee is hired, they must be added to the system. Adding new employees to the system (and removing former employees) may take a significant portion of a commercial locksmith's time, especially in large companies. With sophisticated electronic security systems like those mentioned above, malfunctions and glitches can be fairly commonplace. The commercial locksmith may be on call virtually around the clock to deal with any issues that the security system may have. Ultimately, the commercial locksmith has not just one role, but a large variety of roles, as you can see. The constant evolution of security systems and security measures means that the job of a commercial locksmith will never be boring. They will keep your whole company feeling...read more
Six Different Types Of Commerical Locks
If you're in the market for a new lockset for your business, you may very well be confused by all of the different types of locks on the market today. You undoubtedly are looking for security, but you also want a lockset that's easy for both your employees and your customers to operate. There's really no one right answer as to what type of lock is best for your business. The lock that's right for you depends on your location, you budget, your type of business and how you use the door. Types of commercial locks 1. Padlocks. Sometimes the simplest locks are the best for your door. A combination or a keyed padlock can keep your storage unit, equipment yard or job site secure without a lot of expense. Since this type of lock is portable, it's ideal for temporary locations, such as seasonal fairs or construction sites. 2. Deadbolts. Deadbolt locks are another time-honored style of entrance lock. These locks combine a keyed knob entry with a bolt that connects with the door frame, making it impossible to gain entry by simply picking the key lock. Deadbolts are made with a thumb turning mechanism or another keyed lock on the interior side. 3. Rim locks. A rim lock is one that attaches to the plane of the door. These locks, generally used for interior doors, are the ones you see on restored buildings. They are operated by a key that fits directly into the lock mechanism, not into the knob. 4. Cam locks. Cam locks are small cylinder locks that can fit in tight places while still offering a good measure of security. These circular locks are often used on the edges of glass doors. 5. Digital locks. One of the newer types of locks are those that require those entering the door to key in a digital code rather than have a key. This type of system has the the advantage of letting you change the code frequently and/or when someone leaves the company. It's a lot easier to change a code than to collect and re-distribute keys. 6. Fingerprint and eyeprint locks. If high security is an issue for your business, you might want to consider a fingerprint or eyeprint entry system. These locks are only set to open when the unique fingerprint or eyeprint of the person scanned by the lock is listed among the lock's authorized users. While these types of locks are among the most expensive, the offer a degree of security unattainable by other types of locks. Choosing the lock that's right for your business doesn't have to be an impossible task. Just take a few minutes to evaluate your budget, how you use the door and what level of security you need. For further assistance, contact professionals, such as those from Hicks Safes & Locks...read more
Options For Keeping Your Firearms Safe
You have several options for storing your firearms and keeping them safe. Your choice will depend on how convenient you want your rifles and pistols to be, how valuable they are, and your budget. Here is a rundown of the various ways you can store your firearms. Gun Cases These are most useful for transporting your firearms without damaging them. They have room for one or two weapons and can be a hard or soft case. A few cases include a simple luggage lock but the designs do nothing to prevent theft. They are helpful when taking a gun to a firing range, but that's about it. These are the least expensive cases in this list. Metal Cases Some of these gun cases are made to transport weapons, but a few can be mounted on a wall or the floor of your home. They usually contain padding to prevent the guns from shifting around. Some include a simple key lock, but a few have the option of a keypad or combination lock. Your local locksmith can show you different metal cases and lock styles for your guns. When used to transport weapons, these cases won't prevent theft. But when permanently mounted at home, they will slow down a burglar for a few minutes. Most of these cases can still be forced open easily with a pry bar or screwdriver. These are in the middle price range for gun cases. Steel Cabinets This is an expensive option for storing your firearms, but the first to offer real protection against theft. They are made of reinforced steel with hardened steel locks. Most sit on the floor and look like a tall filing cabinet. A few can be mounted against a wall. These cabinets are heavy enough to keep one person from stealing it by moving it themselves. But they can be moved by two people when you want to relocate it somewhere else in your home. When mounted on a wall, the steel cabinets are difficult to pry loose. Your locksmith can show you various options such as combination locks, digital keypads, and even fingerprint recognition locks. A wall-mounted steel cabinet with a sophisticated locking mechanism nearly guarantees that your guns are protected against theft. The full guarantee is reserved for the gun safes. Gun Safes When you need maximum protection for your firearms, have the locksmith show you the latest in gun safes. These are made of reinforced, hardened steel with a door and hinges that are unbreakable. This is like having a bank vault for your guns. Once installed in your home, it can't be moved. They come with a variety of locks, alarm systems, compartments and padding, and fire resistance. You will pay a premium price for a gun safe, but it is the only design that ensures that your gun collection is safe. You will likely end up owning several types of gun cases: a safe for your most valuable weapons, a wall-mounted steel case for the guns with which you most like to hunt or take to the shooting range, and a small; soft-sided gun case to protect your firearms on the way to the hunting camp. A final safety precaution is a trigger or cable lock to prevent a gun from accidentally discharging should it...read more
Why Your Locksmith Should Re-Key Your New Deadbolt
You've just purchased a new lockset or deadbolt from your favorite big hardware retailer. It seems relatively easy to install in your home's front door. Why do you need to get a locksmith involved? The answer is that major lock manufacturers sell locksets in lots, which may all use the same key. If the store where you purchased your lockset got a box of several sets from a major lock manufacturer, odds are good that they are keyed alike. The benefit to doing this is that the manufacturer doesn't have to set so many options and the consumer can buy several locksets that all use one key, then install them on multiple doors. But this also means that your neighbor may be buying and using a lock with the same key set that your home uses. To see if several locksets on the shelf of your local store use the same keys, just look for the serial number on the label. If other boxes share the same serial number, they are likely to be keyed alike. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, because it would be hard for a criminal to track who purchased which lockset and where each one was installed. But often the keys that accompany the locksets are marked with a number. This tells anyone in the know what combination your home is keyed to, and a duplicate key could be made just from that number. What can you do to avoid this problem? You can purchase your lockset from your local locksmith instead of a big hardware and home goods store. You can buy a lockset from a smaller manufacturer that doesn't key multiple sets alike. You can take the lockset you buy directly to a locksmith and have the combination in the lock reset. You can have a locksmith make new keys made that are not marked. For the most peace of mind, work with your locksmith from the start to have the most secure lockset installed in your home. You can also ask your locksmith to conduct a home audit and let you know where there may be security issues that can be fixed. Another benefit of having a locksmith key all your locks is that they can be easily set to open with the same key, without buying them all that way. Don't worry about having a different key for the front door, deadbolt, side door and back door — one key on your ring can open all the locks if they are properly set to the same...read more
Locked Out Of Your Car? Here Are Two "Tricks" That Just Won't Work!
If you find yourself locked out of your car and turning to the Internet for some tricks to get your door open, you'll see plenty of information. Unfortunately, a lot of that information is pretty misleading. If you try some of these, you're only going to end up wasting your time. Here's a look at two of the most common "tricks" for unlocking a car door, and why they just don't work. Busted Trick #1: Using Your Cell Phone to Call Someone With A Key Fob The story behind this trick is that you can call someone on your cell phone while the person on the other end presses the key fob for your car. If you hold your phone up to your car door, your car will pick up the signal relayed from the fob, and your door will unlock. Unfortunately, this trick couldn't be more wrong. Your car's key fob works on a RF (radio frequency) signal that's in the 300 MHz range, while your cell phone operates on a 800 MHz range. If car key fobs worked via a different frequency, this might be feasible. But with today's technologies, it's just not possible. Busted Trick #2: Squeeze A Tennis Ball With A Slit Directly Into the Lock The "reasoning" behind this story is that the compressed air coming out of the tennis ball is enough to open the lock mechanism. But car door locks really don't work like that. In fact, you won't even be able to get enough air pressure to open the cover of the lock, much less the components inside. You could never get enough air pressure to disengage a lock. The professionals on Mytbusters tackled this one, and not only did their test fail, but it failed under much better circumstances as well (with a perfectly closed seal and air pressure from a machine much higher than a tennis ball could produce). If you find yourself locked out of your vehicle, don't waste your time with these tricks! The best course of action is often to just call a professional, such as ARC Locksmith Service. Instead of spending your time trying to call someone at home, or puffing air out of a tennis ball, just let someone who knows what they're doing handle things. They have the tools and the talent to get the job done quickly (usually within a minute or two), and get you back on the...read more
Buying A Foreclosed Property Or Short Sale? Get A Locksmith Right Away
If you have recently purchased a home on a short sale or foreclosure, your first call when you get the new keys should be a locksmith. These types of sales usually mean the seller was in trouble and you are getting the home from the bank, and the house could have been vacant for an extended period of time. It isn't uncommon for people to target unoccupied houses for theft. You don't know who was walking around inside the home while it was vacant or who the owner gave a key to when they were still the owners. Here is what you want the locksmith to do right away. Change Door Locks and Add Deadbolts All of the locks on the entrance doors need to be changed out, and deadbolt locks need to be added if there aren't any. This includes sliding glass doors and a door that goes from an attached garage into the home. People that have seen inside the home will know what type of locks were previously on the house, so they could be prepared to pick the locks after you move in your belongings. Window Locks on Both Floors If someone knows the windows don't lock, or that the latches aren't tight, they may plan on getting in through the windows on either floor. Have the locksmith add interior locks on all of the windows throughout the home. Home Security Add a home security system to the property right away, and make sure the system has smoke and gas detection. Wireless systems can't be deactivated by a cut phone or cable line, and they are ideal if there is a power outage. You can choose a system that sends alerts to your phone for activity, and it will alert the authorities when triggered. The home security should earn you a discount on the cost of home insurance, and it can be as large as 20 percent. You may be getting a great deal on your home purchase, but you want to make sure that you and your belongings are going to be safe as soon as you move in. Talk with a locksmith and have them do a security check around the property to see if there are any concerns that may make your home a target for intruders, and fix any problems the locksmith makes notes about right away. For more information, contact a local locksmithing...read more
The Importance Of Using Locksmith Services In Residential Property Management
Being a residential property owner has its pros and cons. Indeed, on the one hand, it provides you with supplemental income, and on the other, it requires dealing with renters who aren't always honest. Unfortunately, there's no guaranteed way to address the challenges associated with property ownership once and for all. Instead, there exist solutions that you might apply when an issue involving a tenant arises, such as the use of locksmith services. This article discusses the importance of relying on locksmith services in residential property management. Why re-keying is right for you If you've been a tenant at least once in your life, then you probably know the average number of duplicate keys lessees can make while they're still renting their unit. This is because they want to minimize the consequences associated with losing their keys, including the cost of replacing their keys. Indeed, such a cost is far greater than the key duplication one. As a property owner, you certainly don't want to be found liable because you forgot to make the necessary modifications on a given unit after a former tenant left. This is what might happen if you rent the unit to a new lessee, who then becomes the victim of a break-in. To prevent such a scenario from occurring, you must have all of the locks of your recently vacated units rekeyed. Not only does this eliminate any future liability from your shoulders, but it's also an affordable option. Requests for maintenance made easier with master keys When a tenant contacts the leasing office to report a problem in their unit, they expect it to be addressed in a timely fashion. For example, if they call about the issue before going to work in the morning, they'll want it to be fixed by the time they come back home at night. So if, due to issues involving keys, your maintenance staff isn't able to do their job, this will most likely infuriate the lessee. One way to avoid this type of situation is by creating a master key that will be used for all of your locks. Master keys make even more sense if you possess more than one residential property within the same area. It seems quite evident that working with a locksmith will bring value to your business. So make the right decision today, and start taking advantage of the benefits associated with using locksmith services, such as improving the safety of your units. For more information, contact a local locksmith company like ASAP Mobile...read more
3 Ways To Save On A Locksmith
Losing your keys to your home or car can be a nightmare, especially if you do not have a spare key around. If losing your keys were to happen, would you know who to call for help? Before you hire a local locksmith, there are a few things to consider to ensure you are able to obtain many helpful services without having to pay top dollar. So, when selecting a locksmith to hire, be sure that you take the time to find a professional that offers: Insurance Coverage: There is a great chance that you own a homeowners or auto insurance policy, which means you may be eligible to have your locksmith services covered if you hire a locksmith who has contracts with your insurance provider. By contacting your insurance group and checking to see which locksmith service they use, you can obtain locksmith services at little to no cost. This can save you a great deal of money and make a stressful situation much easier to deal with. Emergency Service: Losing your keys can happen at any time, day or night. This means if you lose your keys in the early morning or late night, you may end up paying more than you would have liked to for your service, as locksmith companies may increase their rates after normal business hours. So if you want to avoid paying more for your locksmith services, you may want to consider a company that offers emergency service, as this will allow you to obtain the same flat rate regardless of the time that you need to utilize their service. Onsite Key Customization: Onsite key customization can be extremely helpful and a major time saver. With this service, your locksmith will be able to create a new key for your car or home, without you having to go to a different site to obtain your key. Your locksmith will be able to create the key at the location of which you are locked out from, so you can enter your vehicle or home with your new key and without having to create potential damages to your house or car. With services like these, not only will you be able to have your issues resolved quickly, but also you will be able to keep the cost down so you don't have to worry about paying too much for your locksmith services. So, before you potentially deal with a situation where you can't find your keys, definitely take the time to seek a professional who can help you out in case you do end up misplacing your home or car keys. For more information, contact a business such as Lincoln Lock &...read more

Hologic was the first manufacturer to receive FDA clearance for the new World Health Organization FRAX® 10-year fracture risk calculator. While the T-score remains the standard for diagnosing osteoporosis, the FRAX calculator breaks new ground enabling healthcare providers to identify patients with a high risk of experiencing bone fractures within a period of 10 years. By combining 11 of the highest risk factors, including age, personal, and family history of fractures, country-specific life expectancy and country-specific fracture data, the FRAX calculator identifies patients who are at high risk of fracture but would not be candidates for preventative therapy using the traditional T-score.
At RSNA 2010 Hologic will highlight Advanced Body Composition™ assessment software -- commercial in Europe and awaiting FDA clearance in the U.S. The Advanced Body Composition Assessment feature on Discovery combines rapid acquisition of the total body with comprehensive reporting and the new National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) reference data. The new color displays of fat and lean distribution combined with the new trending report are valuable tools for the clinician.
The Fluoroscan® InSight system is the original and most sought after mini C-arm system on the market. Now the new Fluoroscan InSight mini C-arm is more versatile, efficient and cost effective than ever before. Designed specifically for orthopedic and other extremity surgeons, the Fluoroscan InSight system is designed to offer maneuverability, high definition (HD), low-dose fluoroscopy images, and automated adjustments that deliver the optimum image every time, for every patient.

The running of the bulls
... yelling behind us and there were two more Bulls racing down! We ducked out the way just in front of the gates, and I saw the gates closing just after the Bulls had gone through, I went to duck through and saw Lewis had jumped out of the arena again. I yelled out to him but the gates were almost closed. He jumped back through and then we saw people had pushed the gates back open, we raced through and were the last 2 people through! The arena was massive. We felt like ...
Pamplona. Distance walked: 10 miles
... coffee van on top of the hill in the picture from the first day. I rather ungallantly left them to do the repairs at this stage as (TMI?) I needed a pee and there were no trees. By the time they got to the monastery at Roscenvalles the boots were held together with gaffer tape borrowed from a passing Land Rover. A guy at the hostel pointed to a table where everyone leaves items they no longer need or want to carry. He thought there ...
Impressive day.
... and while it didn't look much from the outside, there is a private little church, private stone walled court yard and the accommodation is in the traditional stone monastery. Pretty impressive. I dont think that wifii will be an option here so the upload of this story wont be until tomorrow when i hit pamplona. Tomorrow i am planning a short day. It is only a few ks into the centre of the city for the running of the bulls, and then i will spend most ...
Pamplona, Running Of The Bulls
... followed by people bolting through. It was extremely frightening to watch but surprisingly humorous as well. Once the 2 lots of bulls past I frantically looked around the arena to try and spot Dean. Relived but also wishing I hadn't, I spotted him about 5 minutes after they closed the gate in the sea of red and white. A few minutes later the "small" bulls come out and they are full of lots of aggressive energy. I was only in the stands and my heart was pumping as ...
Estella to Los Arcos

Advil comes in handy so all of a sudden things start coming out of the pack...staying at an albergue sometimes means gettng out a sleeping bag... My cosmic Down Is a golden dream bag..

Importance of Quality of Life Issues: Pilot Comparison-Teachers & Parents of Children w ASD
Importance of Quality of Life Issues: Pilot Comparison-Teachers & Parents of Children w ASD
JAASEP SPRING SUMMER 2014- ABSTRACT - Quality of life (QoL) issues for parents and teachers of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are important to investigate. Independence, social functioning, school functioning and participating in leisure activities are some of the quality of life indicators that parents and teachers must agree upon to ensure effective communication and goal-setting. The purpose of the current study was to compare the perspectives of parents and teachers of children with ASD with regard to the importance of quality of life issues. Participants for this study consisted of parents and teachers of children with ASD. Results indicate that often, parents and teachers have different QoL goals for children and students with autism spectrum disorders. These differences in goals can be a complex issue and could result in discrepancies in how we educate individuals with ASD.

Could the Wyatt Family be Looking for WWE Tag Team Gold?
The Wyatt Family, which consists of Braun Strowman, Luke Harper and Bray...
That catchy guitar riff…
The signature phrase…
The massive pop that follows…
The one that makes you want to bob your head or sing and hum along…
The connection that the song has with the wrestler using it…
They're the essential pieces to a great pro wrestling theme. Over the years, we've heard thousands of them. A theme song can pretty much make or break a star and it defines them. It's probably the most important quality for a wrestler. Think about it – before you ever see their look, hear them on the mic, or see how they work in the ring, you will hear their theme song. Think back to any of your favorite stars of the past and their theme song is one that you can instantly sing or hum nearly in its entirety.
After a pretty lengthy discussion with some friends, it got me thinking exactly what are the greatest wrestling themes of all time? This started off as a list of my Top 20, but after starting an Excel spreadsheet of all the ones under consideration, it turned into a Top 25, then Top 50, and where we ended up – a Top 75 Pro Wrestling Themes of All-Time.
I've seen these lists a million times and I'm always intrigued at how someone was able to slot one certain wrestling theme above another. It seems that the Top 10's always include a hand-full of the same themes that are truly above all of the rest. But I've never actually taken the time to sit down and actually decide on my own which wrestling themes were truly the best. This is that time. Thanks to Benny, Jimmy V, Rue, Michael, and the followers of WrestleChat.net on Twitter for their input. Without all of their suggestions and personal rankings, this list probably doesn't actually get put together.
Now, before I get listing, let me tell you the criteria. All of these themes were graded on 5 specific, equally important components.
1. The "Pop" it produces from the crowd.
2. A theme that is catchy and becomes easily familiar
3. Sing/Hum-a-long factor
4. The all-important "First Three Seconds"; You know who's coming to the ring instantly.
5. Believability Factor; How well does the theme fit the wrestler?
A score of 1-20 was given for each component of criteria and then added together. The max score a theme could have is a 100. Also, all "themes" from ECW have been disqualified. Come on, you can find "Enter Sandman" and "Man in the Box" on any rock list of "Best 50 Rock Songs of All-Time" in Rolling Stone. There are a very few real songs used in WWE(F) or ECW that are included on the list, however. Call it ignorance, but I had to draw a line. I'd easily listen to just about any ECW theme over, say, Skinner's theme, so why even include them on the list?
Also, I omitted multiple theme songs. Take Christian for example. He's had multiple theme songs that people consider to be among the favorites. We went with the theme that we liked the best for that person.
With all that out of the way, I present to you the Top 75 Pro Wrestling Themes of All-Time.
75. Jimmy Snuka – "The Superfly Theme"
73. Beth Phoenix – "Glamazon"
The GREATEST women's theme of all-time. It's so different from any other women's theme. The song just oozes strength and, well, glamour. This is the only women's theme on the list.
71. The Bushwackers – "The Bushwacker Walk"
68. Too Cool – "You Look Fly Today"
65. Sting – "Seek & Destroy"
61. RVD – "One of a Kind"
52. "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel – "Diesel Blues"
44. Eric Bischoff – "I'm Back"
42. Honky Tonk Man – "Cool, Cocky, Bad"
33. Randy Orton – "Voices"
31. DDP – "Self High Five"
30. Rick Rude – "Untitled"
25. John Cena – "The Time is Now"
13. Ultimate Warrior – "Unstable"
Thank you for reading this list. Please list your personal Top 10 in the comments below!

a) Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a safety arrangement for a medical needle having a mount end and a sharp tip, intended for penetration of a human or animal body, or for other medical uses such as the penetration of a pierceable membrane of an intravenous medication system. The invention further relates to a safety arrangement including a medical needle as aforesaid, ready for use and also to a medical syringe or a medical injector, provided with the safety arrangement. For convenience, in the following all medical uses of the safety arrangement will be described simply as the penetration of a body, even though specific embodiments may be intended for other medical uses.
b) Description of the Related Art
Fluids of various kinds may be administered to a human or animal body by means of a hollow needle in conjunction with a source of the required fluid. For example, such a needle may be used in conjunction with a syringe holding a liquid drug, the needle being used to penetrate the body at the site at which the drug is to be received. Equally, body fluids may be withdrawn by using a hollow needle which is used to penetrate the body until the tip is located at the site from which fluid is to be withdrawn.
A recognised hazard for clinicians and other persons using medical needles for the above described purposes is the risk of a so-called needle-stick injury—that is to say the accidental penetration of the clinician's skin by the needle. Prior to the use of the needle to supply a fluid to or to withdraw fluid from a body, this rarely presents much of a problem, though once the needle has been used on a body, there is a very much higher risk of a serious consequence for the clinician. During use of the needle to penetrate the body tissues of a patient, the needle is likely to become contaminated with various organisms and should a needle-stick injury occur, these could infect the clinician.
There have been numerous proposals for protecting the sharp tip of a used needle, in order to reduce the risk of a needle-stick injury following use of the needle. Some proposals have actually increased the likelihood of such an injury by virtue of the action which must be performed to protect the tip, even if the risk thereafter is, lessened. Despite all of the proposals which have previously been made, very few have achieved commercial success, nor has there been wide acceptance by the medical industry. Many proposals are somewhat complex and involve a significantly greater manufacturing cost, and so are unacceptable on economic grounds. Others are much more difficult to use as compared to an unprotected needle, and so are rejected by clinicians. Yet further proposals do not allow compliance with best practice protocols.
Most safety devices for use with medical needles employ a sleeve which surrounds the needle to confer protection thereto. Before use, this protects the needle tip from damage as well as guarding against an accidental needle stick injury. After use, the sleeve advantageously is locked in its protecting position so that the needle cannot thereafter be exposed for a second time, so protecting anyone handling the used needle against a needle stick injury. Further, it is most advantageous for a person handling a needle to see whether or not the sleeve has been locked in its protecting position, also indicating that the needle cannot be used, or whether the sleeve is free to expose the needle so that a medical procedure can be performed.
An early example of a safety needle device with an indicator is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,338,310 (Becton Dickinson). This device has a needle guard which, after use, is manually pushed to and locked at a protecting position. A safety indicator is provided for visually indicating that the needle guard is not locked in the extended position, an obscurement means being provided on the needle guard for obscuring or changing the appearance of, the safety indicator when the needle guard is in the locked extended position.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,547,764 (Novo Nordisk) describes a needle device for a pen injector and which is fitted with a safety shield guided by tracks on the needle hub such that the shield is turned with respect to the hub during use to effect an injection. Different coloured regions on the hub become visible though a transparent area of the shield before and after use. The alignment of the coloured bands with the transparent area is critical to give a correct indication, and the tracks on the hub as well as the followers on the shield must also be aligned properly during manufacture to give a correct indication to an end user.
The safety needle assembly of US2003/0120209 (Novo Nordisk) has a needle shield which slides within a body provided with a window through which a in which a component of the assembly can be seen, to give an indication of whether the assembly is set for use or has been used and the shield is locked in a protecting position. By having a relatively small window in the body of the assembly, it is not immediately apparent to a user on picking up the assembly whether it has been used; and after use, it is not immediately clear that the shield has been locked in its protecting position.
As is apparent from this prior art, there is a significant demand for a protective device for use with a needle which allows a clinician to use the needle in much the same way as is done with an unprotected needle, but which has a sleeve which can be locked in a protecting position and the device gives a clear visual indication that this is so. Though locking of the sleeve could take place without the needle actually being used to perform a medical procedure, for example through mishandling, such a clear visual indication will also show that the needle has been used and so should be discarded safely.
Bearing in mind the above, this invention provides a safety arrangement for a medical needle having a mount end and a sharp tip, which arrangement comprises:
It will be appreciated that the safety arrangement of this invention has a control member for the blocking arrangement which serves to lock the sleeve of the safety arrangement in its protecting position, following use of the needle to perform a medical procedure. The control member is moved deeper into the sleeve in the course of the movement of the sleeve from its initial position to its withdrawn position and then back to a protecting position which may substantially correspond to the initial position, the control member then being visible through the translucent part of the sleeve so as to give the required visual indication that the needle has been used and the sleeve has been locked in its protecting position.
According to a further aspect of this invention, there is provided a safety arrangement in combination with a hypodermic syringe having a cylindrical body, a spigot projecting forwardly from the body for receiving a needle mounting hub, wherein said support includes a socket connected to the spigot of the hypodermic syringe, the support being provided with a needle to project forwardly from the syringe with the needle in communication with the spigot, and the sleeve being slidable on the external surface of the syringe body.
In the alternative, there may be provided a safety arrangement in combination with an injection device adapted to hold a cartridge of medicament, said device having a cylindrical body provided with a spigot at its forward end, wherein said support includes a socket for receiving the spigot of the device and being provided with a needle to project forwardly from the spigot, the needle having a rear end in communication with a cartridge carried by the device, and the support has an external wall on which the sleeve is slidably supported.
The drawings show several specific embodiments of safety arrangements for medical needles, constructed and arranged in accordance with this invention, though solely by way of example. In the drawings:
Said part of the sleeve through which the control member is visible may be translucent, so long as the control member is sufficiently strongly coloured or is of a high visibility material so as to be visible through the sleeve, or said part of the sleeve may be transparent, in which case there is a lesser need for the control member to be so strongly coloured. Said part may be in the form of a window formed through the sleeve, in which case the control member may easily be seen when in the part of the window. In the alternative, substantially the whole of the sleeve may be translucent or transparent, for example by being moulded from a transparent plastics material.
The movement of the sleeve from its initial position to its withdrawn position and then to its protecting position has to move the control member further into the sleeve to a position where the control member is visible within the sleeve. In preferred embodiments, the control member is pushed forwardly within the sleeve as the sleeve moves rearwardly to expose the needle in the course of performing a medical procedure and the connection means then serves to maintain the control member in that forward position on the return of the sleeve to its protecting position. For this purpose, the sleeve may frictionally engage the control member whereby the control member will remain in its visible position when the sleeve moves back to its protecting position. In the alternative, the connection means may comprise said resilient means acting on the control member in combination with a releasable connection between the control member and the sleeve, said releasable connection acting between the control member and the sleeve when the control member is in an initial position before use of the assembly.
The control member may have a first position where it is not visible and movement of the sleeve from its initial position is permitted, the control member being moved into the sleeve to a visible position by movement of the sleeve from its initial position and back to its protecting position. A further possibility is for the control member to have a first position where a part of the control member is visible and movement of the sleeve from its initial position is permitted, the control member being moved further into the sleeve to a visible position where a greater part of the control member is visible, by movement of the sleeve from its initial position and back to its protecting position.
In a preferred embodiment of the safety arrangement of this invention, the blocking means comprises a blocking member at least a part of which projects forwardly from the support, the blocking member being movable between a non-blocking position where the blocking member extends generally parallel to the needle axis and the sleeve may slide to its retracted position and a blocking position where the blocking member has moved from its non-blocking position so as to be disposed between the support and a part of the sleeve, thereby blocking movement of the sleeve away from its protecting position.
The blocking member may be tubular and when in its non-blocking position is generally coaxial with the sleeve and needle, and when in its blocking position extends at an acute angle to the needle axis.
For this embodiment, the control member when in its first position may be located partially within the sleeve and support the blocking member to lie substantially coaxial with the sleeve. When in its visible position, the control member is located deeper within the sleeve to release the blocking member for movement to its blocking position.
In an arrangement where the initial and protecting positions of the sleeve are the same, and so the needle tip is at all times covered other than when the needle is in a body, there is no possibility of the needle being touched accidentally, either by a clinician or by some other thing. If the sleeve intentionally touches something to an extent sufficient to expose the needle tip, return of the sleeve to its fully forward position will lock the sleeve, so preventing use of the needle to perform an injection.
In the following description of the drawings showing embodiments of this invention, the terms front, forward, and so on are used to refer to that end of the needle assembly whereat the sharp tip of the needle is located and also to the direction of insertion of the needle into a body. Conversely, the terms rear, rearwardly and so on are used to refer to the other end of the needle assembly, to which is connected other equipment such as a syringe or a blood collection system, and also to the direction of removal of a needle from a body.
Further, like components throughout the various embodiments are given like reference characters and will not be described in detail, for each embodiment.
The first embodiment of needle assembly of this invention shown in
The syringe with which the embodiment is to be used may be a pre-filled syringe, such that pre-attachment of the needle assembly immediately renders the syringe ready for use. Rather than the taper slip lock shown, a threaded connector such as a Luer lock may be employed. Alternatively, the rear part may be configured for use with known forms of phlebotomy devices for collecting blood.
Slidably mounted in the forward region of the front part 12 is a tubular sleeve 16, the rear end of the sleeve having an external flange 17 which engages a shoulder 18 formed internally within the front part 12. The sleeve is thus constrained against further forward movement from the position shown in
A tubular blocking member 23 surrounds the boss 14 and has a flange 24 at its rear end and disposed adjacent a radial wall 25 of the rear part 11 of the housing. The rearward facing surface of the flange 24 is non-radial with respect to the axis of the blocking member and so that face does not lie flat against the radial wall 25, as shown in
A control member 27 is located within the sleeve 16 and has a rear portion 28 which is receivable within the forward part of the blocking member 23, the control member being profiled to limit rearward movement thereof into the blocking member. A releasable connection is formed between the control member 27 and the internal surface of the sleeve 16, shown in more detail in
A helical compression spring 32 is disposed within the blocking member 23 and acts between the rear face of the control member 27 and an annular abutment 33 formed within the blocking member, just forward of the boss 14. The force exerted by the spring 32 is insufficient to break the connection between the control member and the sleeve when the assembly is in its initial position as shown in
The operation of the assembly described above will now be described. The initial setting is with the assembly as shown in
During initial rearward movement of the sleeve 16, for example by being pressed against a body, the control member is maintained stationary by the blocking member 23, in contact with the rear wall 25. If sufficient force is applied to the sleeve 16 to break the connection, the sleeve will slide on to the blocking member 23. In addition, the control member is released to move forwardly under the action of the spring, until the control member engages the internal face of the sleeve lip 20. The spring thus continues to urge the sleeve forwardly through the control member, but a force applied rearwardly to the sleeve greater than the spring force will allow continued progress of the sleeve, rearwardly.
It will be appreciated that in clinical use, as the sleeve 16 comes into contact with the pierceable membrane (e.g. the skin) of a body, the sleeve will automatically move rearwardly from its initial position, allowing penetration of the needle into the body. Further, once the connection between the sleeve and the control member has been broken, the mechanism will automatically lock on the return of the sleeve to the position shown in
If the assembly is used in conjunction with a syringe to undertake drug draw-up from a phial or ampoule into the syringe, this particular assembly must be discarded and a second assembly fitted to the syringe, to perform an injection. This is in fact the preferred clinical procedure since a lubricated and uncontaminated new needle should be used for body penetration. As well as protecting the needle, the assembly has the advantage of enforcing the "new-needle" clinical procedure, even should a clinician be disinclined to follow the specified procedure.
The control member 27 is preferably made from a highly visible (e.g. strongly-coloured) plastics material, whereas the sleeve 16 is preferably made of a translucent plastics material. Thus, a simple inspection of the assembly will show whether it has been used, because the control member can be seen at the forward end of the sleeve, or whether it is ready for use, because the control member is not present within that part of the sleeve, beyond the front part 12 of the housing 10 and irrespective of the position of the control member.
The second embodiment of
A simple friction connection is employed between the control member 27 and the sleeve 16, with sufficient friction to ensure the control member remains stationary within the sleeve until sufficient force is applied to the sleeve to overcome that friction. Then, the sleeve will move rearwardly while the control member 27 is held stationary by the blocking member and so is advanced relatively, within the sleeve. Subsequently, on forward movement of the sleeve under the action of the spring 35, the control member moves forward with the sleeve and so comes free of the blocking member. Thereafter, this permits the blocking member to perform its locking action as described with reference to
In this second embodiment, the amount of rearward movement of the sleeve needed subsequently to result in the disengagement of the blocking member 23 from the control member may be controlled by appropriate selection of the length of the rear portion 28 of the control member 27. With a short rear portion, only small rearward movement of the sleeve will result in an earlier disengagement of the blocking member. Conversely, with a long rear portion, a much greater rearward movement of the sleeve is required before subsequent forward movement of the sleeve disengages the control member from the blocking member.
The action with a long rear portion 28 may be advantageous where the assembly is to be used to perform drug draw-up from a phial or ampoule, before the same assembly is to be used to perform an injection, where procedures permit the same needle to be used for draw-up and subsequent injection into a body—for example with the delivery of insulin. The sleeve may appropriately be marked to show its maximum movement before locking will occur on subsequent release of the sleeve and provided that movement is not exceeded, then the assembly may be used firstly to undertake drug draw-up and secondly to perform an injection, fully inserting the needle to its correct depth, whereafter the assembly will be rendered safe.
This embodiment is a modified form of the second embodiment shown in
There is no risk to a clinician in using the tool to reset the mechanism. There is no access to the needle tip until the shaft 53 has been used to complete the resetting; during insertion of the shaft, the sleeve protects the needle and no manual access can be gained to the needle tip.
A third embodiment of this invention is shown in
Internally, the arrangement is essentially the same as that of the embodiment of
In all of the above embodiments, the respective sleeves may be made transparent, translucent or provided with a transparent or translucent window. By manufacturing the respective control member from a strongly-coloured material, the position of the control member within the sleeve will readily be discernible. Then, when the safety device has been used and the control member is fully forward, this will immediately be apparent on looking at the assembly.
