摘要:
The catheter comprises a catheter tube formed of two superposed tubular layers of materials which differ from one another. A tubular mediator layer is arranged between the layers to provide an adhesive anchorage for the layers.
摘要:
The appliance comprises radioactive radiation means formed by a coiled filament of radioactive material a proximal part of which is formed by a coiled filament having a pitch larger than that of the coiled filament. Coiled filament is for meshing with thread formed at the distal end of a guidewire.

Medical appliances for the treatment of blood vessels by ionizing radiation. A catheter 1 in which is centered a guide wire 2, a dilatation balloon 5 mounted coaxially on the catheter, and a radioactive radiation emitter in the form of a filament 4 integrated into the guide wire 2 inside the balloon 5.
摘要:
The guide wire of this invention is especially suited for the percutaneous introduction of a balloon dilatation catheter into a blood vessel. It contains a flexible shaft with a proximal portion and a distal portion. A flexible helical coil assembly surrounds the distal portion of the shaft. The helical coil assembly has a radiographically visible distal helical coil and a proximal radiographically invisible helical coil. The proximal helical coil and the distal helical coil are attached to each other by a connecting helical coil that on one end is screwed into the proximal helical coil and on the other end is screwed into the distal helical coil.
摘要:
The balloon catheter comprises a shaft with an elongated dilatation balloon mounted in the vicinity of the distal end thereof. Member for preventing expansion of balloon segments are mounted on shaft proximally of the balloon and comprise an armature enclosed in a sleeve moveable over a proximal portion of the balloon.

The endoprosthesis is inserted under tension in a recess of a flexible inner catheter and secured by means of a tube-shaped outer catheter. To release the endoprosthesis into a vessel, the outer catheter is pushed back over the recess. The recess is formed by a connector piece that connects a tip to a piece of tubing of the inner catheter. The inner catheter can be designed with a smaller outer diameter in the region of the recess than was previously the case with at least the same flexibility and resistance to buckling.
摘要:
A catheter guide wire comprises a main section having a circular cross-section and a distal end section surrounded by a spiral. The distal end section has a portion adjoining the guide wire tip, in the shape of a wedge, the height of which diminishes towards the guide wire tip and the width of which increases towards the guide wire tip.
摘要:
A stent delivery system for a balloon expandable stent includes a balloon catheter with a tubular shaft and an elongated dilatation balloon. The tubular shaft has a guidewire lumen with an entry for the guidewire distal of the balloon and an exit for the guidewire proximal of the balloon. A sleeve for preventing expansion of balloon segments is mounted on the tubular shaft with a distal end surrounding a portion of the proximal end of the balloon and a proximal end removably attached to a portion of the tubular shaft.
摘要:
The stent delivery device has an elongated sheath with a self-expandable stent placed in contracted condition within the distal area of the sheath. An elongated core is arranged in the sheath for relative longitudinal motion between core and sheath, and drive means are arranged between the core and the stent. Scratch protection tubular means comprise a reinforcement ring secured in the sheath and surrounding the distal end portion of the stent when the stent is in contracted condition in the sheath and a tube of thermoformable material heat shrunk over the proximal end portion of the stent and over the core.
摘要:
A packaging comprises a sealed peel-apart flexible pouch in which the preshaped stem of a medical appliance is maintained by elastic pressure of the walls of a sheath open at its ends formed by a wall having two parallel lateral edges forming slides in which are engaged the lateral edges of two spaced apart portions of a second wall. The two walls are flat and deformable by their own elasticity. A retaining window is provided in one of the walls for a handling and connecting hub connected to the stem of the medical appliance to extend therethrough.
