摘要:
A balloon catheter of novel configuration, which is capable of both efficiently heating a heating element by using a laser light and of ensuring durability by avoiding the laser light directly heating members other than the heating element. Provided is a balloon catheter with a balloon disposed in a distal end section of a shaft and wherein: a tightly wound coil shaped heating element is housed and arranged in the balloon; an optical fiber that irradiates a laser light inside the heating element is disposed; and a supply path that supplies a fluid to inside the balloon through an inside of the heating element and a discharge path that discharges the fluid from inside the balloon through a discharge port positioned on an outside of the heating element are disposed.

It is an object to provide a filter for thrombus capture catheters with a thin wall and a sufficient strength and a method of producing the same. A filter for thrombus capture catheters is produced by a method comprising the steps of: arranging a plurality of wires so as to run helically and cross each other, thereby forming a cross wire assembly 2 with a spindle-shaped configuration, which is expanded at a middle portion 2C and converged at distal portion 2A and proximal portion 2B; and forming a parachute canopy-shaped filtering section 3 on one side of said cross wire assembly corresponding to approximately half of the spindle-shaped configuration by the dip coating method using a filter material.

A balloon cover 1 for contracting a once expanded balloon 4 in a balloon catheter which is provided with a compressible cover 2 as an inner tube to receive the balloon 4 and with an outer sheath 3 as an outer tube to receive the compressible cover 2, wherein an inner diameter of the compressible cover 2 has a diameter such that the expanded balloon 4 is contracted therein to make a smaller profile, and an inner diameter of the outer sheath 3 is smaller than an outer diameter of said compressible cover 2, and wherein the balloon cover 1 comprises a primary reducing function that the cover 2 receives the once expanded balloon 4 therein, and a secondary reducing function that the outer sheath 3 receives the compressible cover 2 therein and decreases the diameter of the compressible cover 2 including balloon 4 therein.

An intracardiac suture device comprises a first shaft assembly 1 including a first shaft 11 and a first suture needle-holding device 4 provided at a distal end of the first shaft 11; a second shaft assembly 2 comprising a second shaft 21; a third shaft assembly 3 comprising a third shaft 31 and a handling portion 33; and a puncture assembly 5 provided at a proximal end thereof with a second suture needle-holding device 51. The second shaft 21 is protrusible by sliding-movement from the distal end of the first shaft 11 toward the first suture needle-holding device 4, and a suture needle 6 is transferable between the first suture needle-holding device 4 and the second suture needle-holding device 51 when the third shaft 31 is slid to the distal end of the second shaft 21 after sliding the second shaft 21 to a position where a suture site is held between the second shaft 21 and the first suture needle-holding device 4.

A closure device for transcatheter operations includes a longitudinally elasticated fixing member (1) having a shape-restoring force and being provided with a relatively large-sized, first and second circular portion (11,12) at both ends thereof, and a closure membrane (2) attached to the first circular portion (11) and closing up a ring thereof. The first circular portion (11) is fixed by a connecting portion extending from the fixed circular portion and progressively decreasing in size toward the second circular portion. The second circular portion may be provided with a holding portion (13) as occasion demands.
摘要:
A suture thread for intracardiac suture operation, comprises a thread guide element (1) and a thread (2) joined to a rear end thereof, the thread guide element (1) being composed of a slender straight member (11) of a super-elastic alloy wire and a looped member (12) of a super-elastic alloy wire provided at a front end of the straight member (11). The thread guide element (1) may be further provided at its rear end with a looped member (13) of a super-elastic alloy wire. The super-elastic alloy may be an alloy selected from the group consisting of Ti-Ni, Cu-Zn-AI and Cu-AI-Ni alloys. The looped member (12) of the suture thread is captured by suture-hooking means (42) of a catheter assembly (C) including a hooking catheter (4).
摘要:
A shaft for operating a blood thrombus capturing member (2), comprises a blood thrombus capturing member (3) equipped on the distal end side thereof, and a guide tip (4) quipped at the distal end, through which a guide wire is inserted so as to be capable of relative movement, wherein the shaft (2) is flexible. Therefore, the distal end component of a blood thrombus capturing catheter can be easily guided to a vein constriction, and particularly with a branched vein, the distal end component of the blood thrombus capturing catheter can be easily guided to the targeted branch of the vein.
摘要:
A sheath unit for recovering a thrombus capture member, in which the thrombus capture member can be accommodated without leakage of a thrombus, and which can be more smoothly passed through a lesion, and a thrombus capture catheter unit for capturing the freed thrombus are provided. The sheath unit for recovering a thrombus capture member includes a sheath having a flexible tube at its tip, a portion of the flexible tube being reduced in diameter. A thrombus capture catheter unit includes the sheath unit for recovering the thrombus capture member and a thrombus capture member. The thrombus capture member which is expanded is accommodated into the sheath and a crossed wire member and a portion of a filter part constituting the thrombus capture member are accommodated in the flexible tube, thereby diameter-reducing an opening part of the filter part.
摘要:
A device for retrieval of defect closure devices, comprising a closure-catch catheter having at a distal end thereof a closure-catching device and at a proximal end thereof, a grip for operating the closure-catching. An elongated sheath having a lumen and is provided at the proximal end thereof with a lateral injection tube and hemostatic device. The catheter is moveably insertable in the lumen.
