摘要： An improved catheter is provided. The catheter may include a deflectable member located at a distal end of the catheter. The deflectable member may comprise an ultrasound transducer array. The catheter may include a lumen extending from a proximal end of the catheter to the distal end. The lumen may be used to deliver an interventional device to a point distal to the distal end of the catheter. The deflectable member may be selectively deflectable in a pivot-like manner through an arc of at least 90 degrees. In embodiments where the deflectable member includes an ultrasound transducer array, the ultrasound transducer array may be operable to image both when aligned with the catheter and when pivoted relative to the catheter. When pivoted relative to the catheter, the ultrasound transducer array may have a field of view distal to the distal end of the catheter.

摘要： Methods for manufacturing multi-lumen catheter tubes are disclosed. The described methods may be employed to manufacture a reinforced catheter tube suitable for use in power injectable and torqueable multi-lumen catheters, for example. In one embodiment, a method for manufacturing a multi-lumen catheter tube comprises first clamping a flexible sheet of catheter tube material between first and second mandrels. The mandrels may be D-shaped, or may include another suitable cross sectional profile. The first and second mandrels are rotated with respect to the flexible sheet so as to wrap the flexible sheet about the mandrels. Adjacent portions of the flexible sheet are joined along a longitudinal length thereof to define a closed catheter tube including first and second lumens. The first and second lumens may conform to the D-shaped profile of the respective mandrels.

摘要： An epidural needle assembly including an epidural needle assembly and an injection needle assembly. The injection needle assembly is slidably mounted on the needle of the epidural needle assembly between extended and retracted positions. The injection needle assembly includes an injection hub having an injection needle secured thereto which extends forwardly therefrom. When the injection needle assembly is in its retracted position, the forward end of the injection needle is positioned rearwardly of the forward end of the epidural needle. When the injection needle assembly is in its extended position, the forward end of the injection needle is positioned forwardly of the forward end of the epidural needle. When in its extended position, the injection needle is able to create a hole in the skin of a person or animal to permit the epidural needle to be inserted therein.

摘要： A catheter tube for insertion into a body of a patient is disclosed. The catheter tube includes a distal portion that remains stable during fluid infusion into the patient, thus reducing or eliminating whipping of the catheter distal tip, even during power injection. In one embodiment, the catheter tube defines at least one lumen and is formed from a tube material that defines a proximal portion and a distal portion of the catheter tube. The catheter tube is configured such that the arithmetic product of an elastic modulus and an area moment of inertia for at least a portion of the distal portion of the catheter tube defined by the catheter tube material is greater relative the arithmetic product of an elastic modulus and an area moment of inertia for at least a portion of the proximal portion of the catheter tube.
