摘要:
A curable material delivery cannula device (25) is disclosed. The device includes a cannula and a hub. The cannula includes an open proximal end, a deflectable segment (88) forming a pre-set curve, a lumen, and side orifice (s) (84) adjacent, and proximally spaced from, the distal end and fluidly connected to the lumen. When inserted within a guide cannula, the deflectable segment straightens. When distally extended from the guide cannula, the deflectable segment reverts to the curved shape. The distal end has a blunt tip for non-traumatic interface with bodily material. During use, curable material, such as bone cement, is delivered from the side orifice (s) in a radial direction relative to the lumen.
摘要:
System and components for inducing pleurodesis while minimizing likelihood of tissue damage from direct application of pleurodesisenhancing materials. A tube device is provided that is configured to elute pleurodesis-enhancing material. The device includes one or more features configured to prevent or lessen the likelihood that the pleurodesisenhancing material comes into direct and concentrated contact with patient tissue when a distal length of the device is disposed indwelling a patient.
