Abstract:
Catheter hubs adapted for use with medical devices as well as methods for making and using such catheter hub are disclosed. An example catheter hub may include a hub body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The proximal end of the hub body may include one or more ports and the distal end may be capable of attaching to a catheter shaft. The hub body may include a radiation shielding material.
Abstract:
Medical devices and methods for making and using the same are disclosed. An example medical device may include a drainage catheter. The drainage catheter may include an elongate catheter shaft having a lumen formed therein and a distal region proximal end. The distal region may have a plurality of openings formed therein. The openings may be in fluid communication with the lumen. The distal region may be configured to shift between a first configuration and a looped configuration. The catheter may also include an actuation member for shifting the distal region between the first configuration and the looped configuration. A cutting member may be disposed adjacent to the proximal end of the catheter shaft. The cutting member may be adapted to cut a portion of the actuation member.
Abstract:
Medical devices, catheter hubs, and methods for making and using the same are disclosed. An example medical device may include a catheter shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end. A hub may be coupled to the proximal end of the catheter shaft. The hub may include a hub body and a rotatable tip member that rotatable with respect to the hub body. A distal end of the rotatable tip member may be coupled to the proximal end of the catheter shaft. The rotatable tip member may be configured to transmit torque applied to the rotatable tip member to the catheter shaft.
Abstract:
A drainage catheter, comprising an elongate body member, an elongate flexible member and a hub, the hub including a base and a collar, the base an internal passageway and a side lumen and an outer surface including an engagement element and a mating surface portion, and the collar including a side lumen extending from the inner surface to the outer surface and wherein the inner surface of the collar includes a mating surface portion and a counter element, wherein the elongate flexible member extends through the side lumen side lumens, and wherein the hub has an unlocked position where the engagement element and the counter element are not engaged and a locked position where the engagement element and the counter element are engaged, the collar is tightened on the base and the elongate flexible element is clamped between the mating surface portions of the base and the collar.
