摘要： The present invention is a distal protection device for use during a vascular treatment, such as angioplasty or atherectomy. A filter assembly located on the distal end of a delivery member is deployed distally of the vascular region to be treated to capture emboli released during and immediately after the procedure. The filter is then retracted to retain any captured emboli and then removed from the patient.

摘要： The present invention is a collapsible blood filter for use during a vascular procedure, such as angioplasty or stent deployment. A filter made of braided filaments is located on the distal end of a delivery member, and the filter is deployed downstream of the vascular treatment site to capture emboli released during and immediately after the procedure. Optimal braid geometry of the filter ensures that captured emboli will be retained during collapse and removal of the filter following the procedure.

摘要： A catheter capable of being converted from a single lumen catheter into a multilumen catheter. The catheter of the present invention comprises a first large bore catheter tube and a second catheter tube having at least one lumen and an outer diameter which is smaller than the inner diameter of the first catheter tube and which is capable of being disposed within the first catheter tube. When the second catheter tube is disposed within the first catheter tube, the second catheter tube abuts a portion of the inner wall of the first catheter tube to form a single lumen between the inner wall of the first catheter tube and the outer wall of second catheter tube. The first catheter tube has a first connector portion at its proximal end which is mateable with a second connector portion at the proximal end of the second catheter tube. The connector portions are mateable in fluid tight relationship and are operative to maintain the first and second catheter tubes in nested relationship to each other and provide multiple lumens.

摘要： The present invention provides an apparatus for heating, filtering and eliminating gas from biological fluids. The apparatus includes a heat exchanger for heating biological fluids coaxially positioned within a filter unit. The filter unit receives heated fluid from the heat exchanger within an inner chamber and vents gas to the atmosphere contained within the heated fluid through a vent on the inner chamber. The fluid is radially filtered between the inner chamber and an outer chamber by a filter element coaxially separating the inner and outer chambers.
