MRI-COMPATIBLE SURGICAL CANNULAE FOR TRANSFERRING A SUBSTANCE TO AND/OR FROM A PATIENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017005 titled 'MRI-COMPATIBLE SURGICAL CANNULAE FOR TRANSFERRING A SUBSTANCE TO AND/OR FROM A PATIENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a cannula for transferring a substance to and/or from a patient. It consists of a tubular support sleeve and a transfer tube. The support sleeve is made of a rigid, MRI-compatible material and has a lumen extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The transfer tube is positioned within the lumen and extends beyond both ends of the support sleeve.

  • The cannula is designed for transferring substances to and/or from a patient.
  • It includes a tubular support sleeve made of a rigid, MRI-compatible material.
  • The support sleeve has a lumen that extends from a proximal end to a distal end.
  • A transfer tube is positioned within the lumen and extends beyond both ends of the support sleeve.

Potential Applications:

  • Medical procedures requiring the transfer of substances to and/or from a patient.
  • MRI-guided interventions or treatments.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a safe and effective means of transferring substances to and/or from a patient.
  • Compatible with MRI imaging, allowing for accurate visualization during procedures.

Benefits:

  • The rigid, MRI-compatible material ensures the cannula is safe to use in MRI environments.
  • The design allows for easy and precise transfer of substances.
  • The extended transfer tube provides flexibility in accessing different areas of the patient's body.


Original Abstract Submitted

a cannula for transferring a substance to and/or from a patient includes a tubular support sleeve and a transfer tube. the support sleeve includes a rigid tubular member defining a lumen extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the tubular member. the transfer tube is positioned in the lumen and extends beyond each of the proximal end and the distal end of the tubular member. the tubular member includes a rigid, mri-compatible material.
