A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11938309B2) discloses a hypodermic interface assembly designed for injecting or drawing fluids from animals. The assembly comprises a hub with ribs, a cannula, and a cannula carrier with controllably separable leg portions. The hub and cannula carrier are non-removably connected, with the leg portions designed to detach from the hub when subjected to radial force during fluid injection or extraction. An adhesive may be used to connect the cannula to the carrier, and the assembly allows for easy removal of the cannula from the animal's flesh.

Furthermore, the patent includes a method for using the hypodermic interface assembly, involving joining the hub to an injection gun, inserting the cannula into the animal's flesh, and separating the cannula carrier from the hub when subjected to radial force. The method allows for easy removal of the cannula from the animal's flesh by grasping the carrier and applying force. Additionally, the cannula carrier may contain a high visibility dye or pigment for better visibility. The assembly's design ensures secure attachment during fluid administration while allowing for easy removal post-procedure, enhancing efficiency and safety in veterinary and medical applications.
