Filed:

Feb 15, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/784762

Assignee:

SciMed Life Systems, Inc. - Maple Grove MN

International Classification:

A61M 2510

US Classification:

604194, 623 111

Abstract:

The present invention generally relates to a medical device and procedure for accurately positioning a catheter across a desired region within a patients vasculature. In particular, the present invention provides a hub assembly unit that allows a physician to precisely position a stent within a vessel utilizing a stent delivery catheter. The hub assembly unit includes a fine adjustment mechanism. The fine adjustment mechanism extends or contracts the length of the hub assembly unit in controlled incremental units. These controlled fine displacements are then translated directly to the stent delivery or balloon dilation catheter.

International Classification:

A61M029/00

US Classification:

604 96, 604533

Abstract:

The present invention is drawn to a valve control accessory for use with a dual balloon stent delivery catheter. The accessory device includes a bifurcated fluid line adapted to connect to an inflation device using a proximal luer connector. Additional luer connectors at the distal ends of the main fluid line and branched fluid line are engaged to connect to the proximal ends of a bifurcated catheter shaft, allowing the fluid lines to be in fluid communication with a parent and sidebranch balloon respectively. In one embodiment, stopcocks are formed in both the main and sidebranch fluid lines to allow independent or simultaneous expansion of each balloon. A pressure indicator may be placed on either fluid line to indicate which line is under pressure.

International Classification:

A61M 29/00

US Classification:

604 9701

Abstract:

A pressure relief mechanism is incorporated into a modified syringe-type inflation device that may be coupled to a balloon catheter for inflating and deflating the balloon. An engagement mechanism selectively engages and disengages from a threaded shaft for advancing or withdrawing a plunger placed in slidable, yet sealing fit within a cylindrical chamber. In a first engaging position, the threaded shaft may be forcibly advanced or withdrawn in the cylindrical chamber, while in a second disengaged position, the plunger may be quickly pulled back.

International Classification:

A61M 5315

US Classification:

604218

Abstract:

An inflation device according to the present invention includes a barrel, a piston at least partially disposed within the barrel, and a collar surrounding at least a portion of the barrel. The piston includes a threaded portion. The collar and the barrel are axially movable with respect to one another, with the barrel being biased towards an equilibrium position within the collar by a collar spring. A nut is disposed at least partially within the barrel, the nut including an interior threaded surface and an exterior camming surface. The nut is movable along an axis substantially transverse to the barrel axis, and is biased towards a collar camming surface by a nut spring. When the barrel is in the equilibrium position, the nut is in a locking position in which the interior threaded surface engages the threaded portion of the piston. This prevents free movement of the piston within the barrel. When the barrel is moved from the equilibrium position the collar camming surface deflects the nut so that the piston is freely movable within the barrel.

Abstract:

Automated injection system disclosed in this application advantageously provides physicians with a simplified interface for selecting fluid sources, such as saline, contrast, or a mixture of both, to inject at high pressures. The injector system may comprise a multi-use subassembly, a single-use subassembly, a fitting to fluidly connect the multi-use and single-use subassemblies, a hand held controller, a user interface, and an injector housing.
