摘要:
The present invention comprises a vascular filter system for non-permanent application which is provided with a guide wire, a filter membrane having an inner area provided in the area of the proximal end of the guide wire and a free outer area, and an umbrella structure provided at least on the outer area of the filter membrane, made of a flexible material and permitting opening and closing of the umbrella formed by the umbrella structure and filter membrane, characterized in that the system has contactless structure for closing the umbrella. The structure can be of a magnetic nature or involve mechanisms based on temperature changes.
摘要:
A system comprising: a hollow tube having a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen extending between the distal end and the proximal end; at least a portion of the tube comprising a porous membrane; and a gas-rich perfluorocarbon solution incorporated in the porous membrane; wherein the porous membrane has a porosity in the range of 0.001-200 microns, in order that: (i) the gas-rich perfluorocarbon solution is effectively incorporated into the porous membrane; and (ii) when the porous membrane is positioned in blood, the gas-rich perfluorocarbon solution elutes out of the porous membrane, in aggregations small enough to prevent the creation of embolisms in the blood, with the elution of the gas-rich perfluorocarbon solution into the blood varying between minutes and several hours, depending on the temperature and the hemodynamics of the blood.A novel medical wire is also disclosed herein.
摘要:
The invention relates to a cover (1) for a medical instrument (3), which is characterized in that the cover (1) is a generally pipe-shaped body and consists of one single tape (11) which extends generally helicoidally about the axis of the pipe-shaped body. The invention furthermore relates to a process for applying a cover (1) onto a medical instrument (3) as well as to a medical instrument (3) which is provided with a cover (1).
摘要:
The present invention relates to a system for introduction of an agent into a blood vessel (G), wherein the system (1) comprises a wire (10) having a proximal end (114, 121) and a distal end (112) as well as lumen (115) extending between these ends, wherein the system is characterized in that a matrix (13) for release of the agent is provided within the lumen (115), wherein the matrix (13) extends over at least part of the length of the wire (10). Thereby an oxygenation system for cerebral vessels can be provided.
