PERCUTANEOUS ASSEMBLY AND METHODS OF USING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009442 titled 'PERCUTANEOUS ASSEMBLY AND METHODS OF USING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a percutaneous assembly consisting of a percutaneous sheath and a percutaneous dilator tip. The sheath has a tubular wall with a lumen, while the dilator tip includes a radially expandable member and an elongated control member. The expandable member can be attached to the distal end of the sheath and adjusted between expanded and contracted configurations. The control member is positioned eccentrically along the sheath and is used to adjust the expandable member.

  • The percutaneous assembly includes a sheath and a dilator tip.
  • The sheath has a tubular wall with a lumen.
  • The dilator tip has a radially expandable member and a control member.
  • The expandable member can be attached to the sheath and adjusted between expanded and contracted configurations.
  • The control member is used to adjust the expandable member.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Minimally invasive medical procedures requiring percutaneous access.
  • Catheterization procedures.
  • Endovascular surgeries.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a percutaneous assembly that allows for controlled expansion and contraction.
  • Facilitates easier access to the desired area during medical procedures.
  • Reduces the risk of damage to surrounding tissues.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Minimally invasive approach reduces patient discomfort and recovery time.
  • Improved precision and control during medical procedures.
  • Versatile and adaptable for various medical applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

a percutaneous assembly is provided with a percutaneous sheath and a percutaneous dilator tip. the percutaneous sheath has a tubular wall extending to a distal end portion thereof and defines a lumen having an inner diameter. the percutaneous dilator tip includes a radially expandable member and an elongated control member. the radially expandable member is either removably engageable or fixedly attached to the distal end portion of the tubular wall and is also adjustable in an expanded and a contracted configurations. the elongated control member is disposed longitudinally along the tubular wall, positioned eccentrically relative to the lumen, and is operatively coupled to the radially expandable member for adjusting same in at least one of the expanded and the contracted configurations. a percutaneous sheath is also provided as kits.
