摘要:
The balloon catheter according to the present invention is one is provided with a catheter shaft having flexibility with a lumen formed inside; a balloon that is disposed at the distal end side of the catheter shaft and in communication with the lumen; a fluid regulating portion that passes a fluid that is supplied from a fluid supply source to the balloon and, simultaneous with the supply from the fluid supply source being stopped, prevents backflow of the fluid that is supplied to the balloon to the fluid supply source side; and a fluid releasing portion that releases the fluid that is supplied to the balloon to outside of the balloon.

A system (10) and method for controlling the inflation, ablation, and deflation of a balloon catheter (1) is provided. The system includes a balloon catheter (1), a console (20) having a pressurized gas or liquid inflation source, and an umbilical system (12) to deliver pressurized coolant to the balloon catheter (1). The system (10) comprises a PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) controller or other pressure-sensing device that monitors the amount of pressure and volume within the balloon catheter. During inflation, the pressure and/or volume of fluid within the balloon (23) is maintained at a target amount in order to provide sufficient mechanized pressure against the desired target region. The system limits the inflation pressure such that a safe quantity of gas would be released should a leak occur. If the amount falls below a certain threshold level, gas or fluid egress is presumed and the inflation process is halted.

A catheter drive system, comprising: an inner tube adapted for inserting into a human body; an outer tube configured to slidably and snugly engage said inner tube, outside of a human body; and a pushing mechanism adapted to apply a pushing force to said inner tube less than 100 mm from an end thereof, such that said inner tube can extend at least 200 mm.
摘要:
An intravascular drug delivery balloon catheter (10) incorporating a highly compliant balloon (14) having a plurality of infusion holes (15). The highly compliant balloon elastically expands at a low inflation pressure (e.g., less than 1.0 ATM), and preferably has a compliance of 2.0 mm/ATM or more at pressures less than 2.0 ATM. A pressure relief (30) valve may be incorporated into the catheter to avoid over pressurization. The infusion holes may be open when the balloon is deflated and may enlarge when the balloon is inflated. The balloon may define a single lobe or two inflatable lobes with the infusion holes disposed therebetween.

A fluid infusion system (10) includes a pump (12) having a body (30) that slidable interacts with a handle (32). The body (30) includes a valve housing (44) coupled with an inlet passageway (110), an outlet passageway (123), and a dispensing barrel (48). A finger rest (38) projects from the barrel (48). A loading chamber (58) is recessed within the finger rest (38), and can receive a syringe. A plunger (27), mounted to the handle (32), is received within the barrel (48). The plunger (27) is retracted within the barrel (48) to fill the barrel (48) with fluid. The nozzle (46) of the pump (12) is coupled to a hemostasis valve that is coupled to an infusion catheter (18). The catheter (18) has a distal end (19) with an enlarged tip opening (278) and a plurality of small infusion holes (20) through the side thereof. An annular sensing ridge (276) projects from the interior of the catheter at the opening (278). A wire (22) has an occluding ball (290) at the end thereof to occlude the end (19) of the catheter.

摘要:
The invention relates to the instrument for fluid injection and the dilatation probe for implantation in body cavities, which solves the problem of even and safe dilation of the probe based on a fluid injection in a probe, which takes shape of a cylinder. The instrument (I) for injection of the fluid, most favorably distilled water, consists of the handle (30), with the filling valve (24) and the variable volume cylinder (22) attached to the cover (29). In the body of the handle (30), the relief-adjusting valve (PRV), intake valve (UV), which is connected to the trigger (36) over the piston (34) and the thrust valve (PV) are mounted. The cylindrical extension (1) is attached to the fore of the body of the handle (30), with the coupling (S), for attachment of the dilatation probe (50, 60) for body cavities implantation, attached to the free end of it.

摘要:
A low profile catheter valve comprising a movable sealer portion (30) is positioned within the inflation lumen (40) of a catheter. The sealer portion (30) forms a fluid tight seal with the inflation lumen (40) by firmly contacting the entire circumference of a section of the inflation lumen (40). The sealer portion (30) may be positioned proximally of a side-access inflation port (22) on the catheter, to extablish an unrestricted fluid pathway between the inflation port (22) and an inflatable balloon (20) on the distal end of the catheter. As desired, the clinician may move the sealer portion (30) to a position distal of the inflation port (22), thereby preventing any fluid from being introduced into or withdrawn from the balloon (2) via the inflation port (22). An inflation adaptor (200) moves the sealer portion (30) within the catheter to establish or close the fluid pathway between the inflation port (22) and the inflatable balloon (20). In use, the catheter is placed into the adaptor (200) with the sealer portion (30) to a second position which allows passage of fluid into the inflation lumen (40). An actuator (220) on the adaptor (200) is used to drive the sealer portion (30) to a second position which allows passage of fluid into the inflation lumen (40). The balloon (20) is then inflated and the actuator (220) is used to move the sealer portion (30) to again block the inflation lumen (40). The adaptor (200) is configured to allow the sealer portion (30) to be driven to a third position which is further from the inflation port (22) than the first position.
