Stretch Valve Balloon Catheter and Methods for Producing and Using Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009432 titled 'Stretch Valve Balloon Catheter and Methods for Producing and Using Same

Simplified Explanation

The method of manufacturing a safety catheter involves several steps:

  • Providing a catheter with a catheter body that has an exterior surface, a drainage lumen, and an inflation lumen.
  • Forming a balloon inflation port between the exterior surface and the inflation lumen.
  • Forming a deflation port between the exterior surface and either the inflation or drainage lumen.
  • Fixing a balloon sleeve to the exterior surface, covering at least the balloon inflation port, to create a fluid-tight balloon interior.
  • Inserting a deflation plug into the deflation port to seal it tightly until the plug is removed.
  • Connecting a proximal portion of a deflation connector to the inside surface of one of the lumens.
  • Connecting a distal portion of the deflation connector to the deflation plug.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Medical procedures requiring catheterization, such as urinary catheterization or intravenous therapy.
  • Minimally invasive surgeries where drainage or inflation of a balloon is necessary.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures a fluid-tight seal in the balloon interior, preventing leakage or deflation during use.
  • Provides a convenient and secure method for deflating the balloon when needed.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved safety and reliability in catheterization procedures.
  • Simplified and efficient deflation process with the use of the deflation plug and connector.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method of manufacturing a safety catheter includes providing a catheter having a catheter body comprising an exterior surface, a drainage lumen, and an inflation lumen, forming a balloon inflation port between the exterior surface and the inflation lumen, forming a deflation port between the exterior surface and one of the inflation and drainage lumens, fixing a balloon sleeve to the exterior surface over at least the balloon inflation port to define a fluid-tight balloon interior between an interior surface of the balloon sleeve and at least a portion of the exterior surface, removably inserting a deflation plug in the deflation port to water-tightly seal the deflation port until the deflation plug is removed, connecting a proximal portion of a deflation connector to an inside surface of one of the lumens, and connecting a distal portion of the deflation connector to the deflation plug.
