    摘要: An implantable fluid delivery device for dispensing metered aliquots of liquid medication upon finger-pressure activation of the device by a patient. The device includes a soft, deformable needle-piercable casing having a fluid reservoir in which is located a relatively-rigid, apertured support plate that divides the reservoir into upper and lower chambers. A compressible, positive displacement pump chamber or housing is mounted upon the plate within the upper chamber and includes passages communicating with both the lower chamber and an outlet port. Force applied to a central target zone of the top wall causes compression of the pump housing and delivery through the outlet port of an amount of fluid equal to the displacement of the pump housing. The same target zone of the top wall serves as a self-sealing injection site for replenishing the fluid supply of the reservoir. A rigid, protective needle guard is disposed within the upper chamber above the pump housing to shield that housing against contact by an injection needle when the fluid supply is being replenished. The rigid plate that supports the pump housing also distributes applied pumping forces and provides a platform for supporting other elements of the device, including a fluid filter and surge protector located in the lower chamber of the reservoir at the inlet to the pump housing.

    摘要: A medical instrument assembly is disclosed. The medical instrument has proximal and distal ends. A receiver coil being mounted proximate to a distal end of the medical instrument, the receiver coil being electrically connectable at a proximal end of the medical instrument. A deployable object being disposed and movable within the medical instrument. The deployable object bearing a high magnetic permeability material located proximate to the receiver coil. The high magnetic permeability material and the receiver coil combining to form an inductive element having an inductance that varies in a predetermined manner with the position of the deployable device relative to the receiver coil. A determination of the inductance being performed at the proximal end of the delivery catheter indicates the extension of the deployable device through the medical instrument.

    摘要: A percutaneous tissue track closure assembly (2) includes a semipermeable barrier (26) mounted to the distal end of a tubular barrier carrier (20). The barrier is passed down a tissue track (12) and into a blood vessel (18) where the barrier is expanded to close off the blood vessel opening (14). A syringe device is used to drive a hemostatic flowable material (30) through a delivery tube (34) and into the tissue track. The semipermeable barrier permits blood to flow therethrough but prevents passage of the hemostatic flowable material therethrough. The hemostatic material includes a material which swells upon contact with blood, and a blood clotting agent. After an appropriate period of time, the barrier is collapsed and the barrier carrier and delivery tube are removed from the tissue track.

    摘要: A medical apparatus and method of use for implanting a percutaneous catheter in a patient's body which catheter can be easily positioned, repositioned, and replaced. The apparatus includes an elongate sleeve having a tapered forward portion to facilitate its insertion through an undersized incision. The sleeve provides an interior elongate passageway which extends from a sleeve proximal end to a sleeve distal end. The sleeve is intended to be percutaneously implanted through an incision in the patient's skin so that the sleeve distal end resides subcutaneously. The sleeve outer peripheral surface carries a layer of porous material intended to be placed under the patient's outer skin layer in contact with the dermis to promote tissue ingrowth for anchoring the sleeve and forming an infection resistant barrier. The sleeve passageway is dimensioned to snugly accommodate the outer surface of catheter while permitting the catheter to slide relative to the sleeve. A sealing device is mounted around the catheter adjacent to the sleeve proximal end to prevent deleterious material from migrating into the patient's body along the catheter outer surface. A locking member secured to the sleeve can be pivoted to an unlocked portion for permitting axial and rotational movement of said catheter relative to said sleeve and or to a locked position for preventing such relative movement.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for facilitating the implantation of a medical device through an incision so as to promote soft tissue ingrowth into a biocompatible porous layer, e. g, titanium, carried on the periphery of the medical device. The method utilizes an incision (either percutaneous or subcutaneous) which is intentionally undersized by 10-20% relative to the width dimension of the porous layer. Accordingly, a physician must stretch the surrounding tissue to maximize the size of the opening to insert the device. Because the opening is undersized relative to the porous layer, the surrounding tissue remains physically stressed, i.e., radially and/or circumferentially, and acts to enhance cell proliferation and healing. A surgical cutting tool is preferably provided to assist the physician to form a properly dimensioned opening.

    摘要: An intraluminal prosthesis is provided with a plurality of annular elements. Each annular element includes a plurality of struts and apices connected to form an annular configuration. Each annular element has a compressed state and an expanded state, and has a longitudinal dimension which is smaller in the expanded state than in the compressed state. A plurality of connecting members connect the apices of adjacent annular elements. The connecting members have a plurality of alternating segments that function to compensate for the smaller longitudinal dimension of each annular element in the expanded state. The stent may be provided with varying flexibility along its length and/or circumference, and may include segments that have different diameters.
