    Abstract: The invention is directed to devices and methods for passing optical radiation into and out of a body lumen. In particular, the invention is directed to a rotatable ferrule for use in an optical guidewire and methods for using a rotatable ferrule. The rotatable ferrule may be either rotatably captured by and free to rotate within a guidewire, or may rotate upon release from a releasable, mechanically stable friction-fit engagement with a guidewire. The invention is further directed to sterile interfaces for readily connecting and disconnecting an optical guidewire with and from other optical instrumentation while maintaining the sterility of the guidewire, and methods for using a sterile interface device. The invention is also directed to interface devices that provide either direct or indirect optical and mechanical connection between an optical guidewire and peripheral instrumentation.

    Abstract: A controlled volume inflation-deflation device to inflate a balloon to occlude a blood vessel by dialing a knob that locks at rotational positions to locate a plunger at equally spaced locations within a syringe of the inflation-deflation device. The inflation-deflation device includes a releasable latch to lock the proximal and distal housings together to hold the plunger forward for occlusion, and to separate and hold the proximal and distal housings to retract the plunger for perfusion. When the inflation-deflation device is returned to the latched position, the balloon is re-inflated to its previous occlusive diameter. Also, an extension tube made of a lower modulus outer material co-extruded over and miscible with a higher modulus inner material may be used to produce a suitably low compliance extension tube for the inflation-deflation device. The balloon may have tapered ends and a cylindrical center portion so that it increases by more equal increments in outer diameter in response to incremental equal increases in inflation volume.

    Abstract: A medical system utilizes a guide wire with a fluid filled internal lumen and a pressure measurement system to measure blood pressure in a body vessel. The guide wire includes an internal lumen with a distal opening for admitting fluid flow. The internal lumen is filled with a fluid or other media which can transmit pressure along the guide wire. The pressure measurement system includes a pressure transducer in fluid communication with the internal lumen of the guide wire. Pressure waveform in the body vessel are transmitted through the fluid or media from the distal opening of the internal lumen to the pressure transducer. The pressure transducer is in communication with a processor (with display) for determining the pressure acting on the pressure transducer. A pump with a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with the internal lumen of the guide wire is controlled by the processor. The pump introduces additional fluid into the guide wire lumen.
