Abstract:
A catheter (200) with a distal length extending to a distal end, the distal length configured to indwell a cavity of a patient body. The distal length includes a first lumen (202) extending longitudinally through a lengthwise portion of the distal length, where the first lumen may be at least partially defined by a first inner diameter surface of the distal length. The distal length includes a second lumen (204) extending longitudinally through the lengthwise portion of the distal length, where the second lumen may be at least partially defined by a second inner diameter surface of the distal length. A first fenestration may be disposed through a side wall of the first lumen. A cuff is disposed on an outer surface of the proximal length.
Abstract:
A transfer device includes an elongate tube defining a lumen configured to support an organism and an obstruction positioned along the elongate tube. The obstruction is configured to prevent the organism from moving proximally past the obstruction, such that the obstruction defines a distal end region of the elongate tube in which the organism can move along the lumen of the elongate tube.
Abstract:
A device (10) for introducing a material into a body cavity is shown. The device includes a catheter with a distal tip. A first lumen (29) extends through the catheter. The catheter is configured to form a mist from liquid passed through the first lumen. An inflatable balloon (17) may be included on the catheter to allow the user to isolate the portion of the body in which the material is introduced. Additional described features can provide for controlled deflection of a distal region of the catheter, guidewire or guide loop tool lumens, first and second misting nozzles on the catheter, and delivery apparatuses including the catheter devices coupled or that can be coupled to endoscopes such as bronchoscopes. Methods of use of the catheter devices and delivery apparatuses are also described.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cannula comprising a tip and an outlet, said cannula having a reduction in the internal diameter, which reduction is designed as a conically tapering tip the end of which has a length that is shorter than the internal diameter of the adjoining portion of the cannula.
Abstract:
Devices, methods and kits for preventing or reducing non-target microparticles deposition and embolization, in conjunction with delivering microparticles (e.g., embolization material) via a blood vessel to a target bodily part. Applicable for entrapping infiltrated microparticles within heart right atrium. Entrapping device includes: filter; and filter collapsing mechanism sized for positioning in catheter lumen of a filter delivering catheter, and having proximal end actuatable from outside of subject. Filter configured for positioning within heart right atrium, for self-expanding and covering right atrium inlet opening, and configured, when expanded, to collect embolic material delivered to target organ and infiltrated into outflow vessel thereof draining to right atrium. Filter collapsing mechanism configured for collapsing, and being manipulated to form a pocket in filter, to entrap collected embolic material therein, and drawing filter with collected embolic material in pocket, into catheter lumen of filter delivering catheter.
Abstract:
Provided is a catheter for the directed guiding of a body fluid, in particular blood, said catheter comprising: a conduit section with an internal volume; a first opening which connects the internal volume with an external; and a second opening, arranged distally from the first opening, and which connects the internal volume with the external, wherein during operation of the catheter, the body fluid in the internal volume is guided in a directed manner between the first and second openings, the conduit section comprises a film tube with a reinforcement running in the interior of the film tube, and wherein the film tube has a foldable section, a connection region, in which the film tube is connected to the reinforcement, and a stabilised section with structuring.
Abstract:
An implantable occlusion and tissue ingrowth resistant fluid interface is provided with a housing, an orifice and a catheter port. The housing is formed from at least one biocompatible material and is configured without sharp edges or corners. The housing at least partially defines an internal housing cavity. The orifice member at least partially defines an orifice between the internal housing cavity and an exterior of the housing. The orifice has an elongated transverse cross-section configured with a length that is at least four times its maximum width. The catheter port is located on the housing and is configured to couple with a catheter such that the internal housing cavity is in fluid communication with a lumen of the catheter when the catheter is coupled to the catheter port. Embodiments having a moving cylinder, a rotor, and non- chemical surface modifications, as well as methods of use are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The various embodiments herein relate to a boosting catheter for positioning through a conventional guiding catheter into the vasculature of a patient, the boosting catheter having a distal tubular member and a proximal elongated shaft coupled to the distal tubular member.
Abstract:
Medical devices and methods for using medical devices are disclosed. An example medical device may include an open-irrigated ablation catheter. The open-irrigated ablation catheter may include a catheter body, an electrode tip body with one or more irrigation ports at a distal end, and a proximal insert for providing cooling fluid to a proximal end of the electrode tip body.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a blood cannula for discharging blood into a vessel, in particular aortic cannula for discharging blood into an aortic arch during heart-bypass surgery, comprising a tubular body (1 ), the tubular body having a straight part at the proximal end (2) and a bent part at the distal end (3) leading into an outlet opening (5), wherein the distal end (3), in particular the bent part has an increasing cross section in the direction of blood flow (B).
