20020091362, Jul 11, 2002

Filed:

Dec 4, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/005277

Inventors:

Thomas Maginot - Crown Point IN, US
Paul Maginot - Fishers IN, US

International Classification:

A61M005/00

US Classification:

604/264000

Abstract:

A method of using a catheter system to perform medical procedures is disclosed in which the catheter system includes a guide catheter configured to receive inner catheters therein. The method includes performing initial medical procedures with the catheter system until an original inner catheter located within the guide catheter becomes dysfunctional, wherein (i) the initial medical procedures performed during the initial medical procedures performing step are respectively separated in time by interim time periods, and (ii) the original inner catheter is retained within the guide catheter during the interim time periods. The method further includes performing subsequent medical procedures after the initial medical procedures performing step with the catheter system having any one of a number of replacement inner catheters located with the guide catheter, wherein the any one of the number of replacement inner catheter is removed from the guide catheter after each of the subsequent medical procedures is performed during the subsequent medical procedures performing step.

Inventors:

Thomas Maginot - Crown Point IN, US
Paul Maginot - Fishers IN, US

International Classification:

A61M003/00

US Classification:

604043000

Abstract:

A catheter system includes a guide catheter defining a proximal lumen and a distal lumen. The catheter system includes an actuator positioned within the proximal lumen, and an extension member positioned within the distal lumen. The catheter system further includes a first spring positioned in the proximal lumen and in contact with the actuator, and a second spring positioned in the distal lumen and in contact with the extension member. The catheter system further includes a cable connected between the actuator and the extension member.

Appl. No.:

10/857185

Inventors:

Paul Maginot - Fishers IN, US

International Classification:

A61M005/00

US Classification:

604271000

Abstract:

A catheter system includes a guide catheter having a lumen defining a distal orifice. The catheter system further includes a conduit segment positioned within the lumen and movable between (i) an upper position at which the conduit segment is entirely contained within the lumen of the guide catheter, and (ii) a lower position at which the conduit segment extends through the distal orifice so as to be partially positioned outside of the guide catheter. The catheter system further includes an actuator wire positioned within the lumen of the guide catheter and coupled to the conduit segment. Movement of the actuator wire causes movement of the conduit segment.

International Classification:

A61M 5/00

US Classification:

604271000

Abstract:

A catheter system includes a structure defining a proximal orifice, a distal orifice, and a fluid passage extending therebetween. The catheter system further includes an actuator movable in relation to the structure between a first location and a second location. In addition, the catheter system includes a member movable in relation to the structure between (i) a first position in which the member extends through the distal orifice so that a proximal part of the member is positioned within the fluid passage and a distal part of the member is positioned outside of the fluid passage, and (ii) a second position in which the member is entirely located within the fluid passage. The catheter system additionally includes a linkage connected between the actuator and the member. Movement of the actuator from the second location to the first location causes movement of the member from the second position to the first position.

International Classification:

A61M 5/00

US Classification:

604271000

Abstract:

A catheter system includes a structure defining a fluid passage and a distal orifice, the structure having a first coupling configured to connect to a second coupling of a fluid line of a dialysis machine. The catheter system further includes a first spring supported by the structure and being configurable between an expanded configuration and a compressed configuration. When the first spring is in the expanded configuration, the first spring extends through the distal orifice so that (i) a proximal part of the first spring is positioned within the fluid passage, and (ii) a distal part of the first spring is positioned outside of the fluid passage. When the first spring is in the compressed configuration, the first spring is positioned entirely within the fluid passage of the structure.

International Classification:

A61M 25/00

US Classification:

604523

Abstract:

A catheter assembly includes a first line having (i) a first proximal end portion defining a first opening, (ii) a first distal end portion defining a second opening, and (iii) a first fluid passage extending between the first opening and the second opening. The catheter assembly includes a second line having (i) a second proximal end portion defining a third opening, (ii) a second distal end portion defining a fourth opening, and (iii) a second fluid passage extending between the third opening and the fourth opening. The catheter assembly further includes an actuator movable between a first location and a second location. In addition, the catheter assembly includes a linkage connected between the actuator and the first distal end portion of the first line. The first distal end portion of the first line is movable in relation to the second line between (i) a first position in which the first distal end portion is positioned in abutment with the second line, and (ii) a second position in which the distal end portion is spaced apart from the second line. Movement of the actuator from the first location to the second location causes movement of the first distal end portion from the first position to the second position.
