Abstract
An intraosseous device includes a stylet with a pointed end for penetrating bone and a cannula through which the stylet extends. The stylet has a bent portion which is engaged in a receiver in a handle cover. The cannula has an outwardly extending flare which is engaged in a corresponding seat in a hub. The handle and the hub have formations which interlock with one another when the tip of the stylet is aligned with the tip of the cannula. The interlock formations further assist torque transmission. The configuration ensures that the maximum manual torque can be applied to penetrate bone while ensuring that the stylet and cannula are aligned for maximum cutting efficiency and remain fixed to the handle and the hub respectively.
