Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a balloon catheter that has excellent pushability upon insertion into a blood vessel, and in which kinking of an outer shaft on the rear end side of a position where a guide wire port is formed can be reliably prevented, and that can be smoothly inserted even into a curved blood vessel. The balloon catheter of the present invention includes an outer shaft (10) composed of a resin tube, a balloon (30), a hub (60), an inner tube (40) and a core wire (50). The rear end side of the straight portion (51) of the core wire (50) is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the outer shaft (10) on the rear end side of the position where a guide wire port is formed, and the distal end side of the straight portion (51) of the core wire (50) is press-fitted between the inner peripheral surface of the outer shaft (10) and the outer peripheral surface of the inner tube (40).

Abstract:
Described are drainage catheter hub devices (100) which seal the hub from leakage when connected to a catheter. The catheter hub (100) includes a hub body (102) having an aperture ((132) with a sealing element (136) mounted therein and a fluid passageway (116) that communicates with the aperture (132). The fluid passageway (132) and sealing element (136) are configured to receive a tension member (110). A lever arm attached to the hub body (102) is operable to secure the position of the tension member (110) in the sealing element (136) in a locked position or allow movement of the tension member through the sealing element (136) in an unlocked position. The lever arm is configured to engage and compresses the sealing element (136) to block fluid flow through the sealing element (132) and the aperture when the lever arm is in any position. The hub body (102) may include a centering tab (152) to align the tension member (110) along a longitudinal axis of the hub body (102).
Abstract:
[Problem to be solved] Provided is a balloon catheter which can pass smoothly through the inside of a curved blood vessel, and can provide an improved kink resistance of a reinforcement member. [Solution] A distal step 53 and a proximal step 57 are provided at an inner shaft 50, and a bulged portion 91 provided at the distal end of a core wire 90 is configured to be capable of moving in the axial direction between the distal step 53 and the proximal step 57. This can allow smooth passage through the inside of the curved blood vessel and improve the kink resistance of the core wire 90.
Abstract:
The application relates to a device (1) for implantation or insertion into the human body, and to a set with the device (1) and a stylet (12). In order to be able to change the flexibility of the device (1), the device (1) according to the invention comprises a pair (4) of stiffening elements (5, 6) that can be affixed to and detached from each other.
Abstract:
The embodiments disclosed herein relate to balloon catheter assemblies. The balloon catheter assemblies can include a hub, an elongated member, and an inflation balloon. The balloon catheter assemblies can also include a support wire having a proximal end that is longitudinally displaceable within a sleeve that is disposed in the catheter hub. A distal end of the support wire may be coupled to the inflation balloon at one or more positions.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a urethral catheter with an anti-infection structure for infants (100) in which, in a state in which a hose (22) is combined with a main pipe (104) in advance, the reinforcement rod (32) is inserted into/released from a urethral insertion pipe (4) through a reinforcement rod inflow and outflow pipe (108) separately formed at one side of the main pipe (104) to prevent leakage of urine. When the reinforcement rod (32) is inserted into the urethral insertion pipe (4) in the combined state of the hose (22) with the pipe (4) and is then released from the pipe (4), setting of a urine storage bag (20) is completed, thereby shortening a time to install of the bag (20), reducing medical staff's trouble, and preventing contamination and infection of a patient and the medical staff due to leakage of urine from the bag (20) to the outside.
Abstract:
[Problem to be solved] An object of the present invention is to provide a catheter in which the pushing force of an operator can be efficiently transmitted to the distal end, and a risk of being caught up at a curved region of a blood vessel, bile duct, pancreatic duct and the like can be reduced. [Solution] The catheters 10 has a configuration where the second core wires 80 can move to the optimal position depending on external forces 1, 2, 3, 4 exerted at a curved region of a blood vessel, bile duct, pancreatic duct and the like when the catheter 10 is inserted up to the curved region of a blood vessel, bile duct, pancreatic duct and the like. Therefore, a risk can be reduced that the first core wire 70 and the second core wire 80 interfere each other to prevent the catheter 10 from bending along a blood vessel, bile duct, pancreatic duct and the like, resulting in breakage of any one or both of the first core wire 70 and the second core wire 80.
