THROMBECTOMY DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023981 titled 'THROMBECTOMY DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a thrombectomy device that includes an aspiration pump, a catheter, and a valve. The aspiration pump provides negative pressure continuously or by interval. The catheter has a distal end, mid portion, and a proximal end, and it defines a longitudinal axis. The valve connects between the aspiration pump and the proximal end of the catheter or connects to the catheter. The catheter includes at least one elastic area that compresses along the longitudinal axis in response to the negative pressure and expands along the longitudinal axis to relieve the negative pressure.
- Thrombectomy device with an aspiration pump, catheter, and valve
- Aspiration pump provides negative pressure continuously or by interval
- Catheter has a distal end, mid portion, and proximal end, defining a longitudinal axis
- Valve connects between the aspiration pump and the proximal end of the catheter or connects to the catheter
- Catheter includes at least one elastic area that compresses and expands along the longitudinal axis in response to the negative pressure
Potential Applications:
- Treatment of thrombosis or blood clots in various parts of the body
- Removal of emboli or other foreign objects from blood vessels
- Interventional procedures in cardiology, neurology, or radiology
Problems Solved:
- Efficient removal of blood clots or emboli from blood vessels
- Minimizing the risk of complications associated with thrombosis or embolism
- Facilitating interventional procedures by providing continuous or interval negative pressure
Benefits:
- Improved patient outcomes by effectively treating thrombosis or embolism
- Reduced risk of complications such as stroke or organ damage
- Enhanced precision and control during interventional procedures
- Minimized procedure time and patient discomfort
Original Abstract Submitted
a thrombectomy device () comprising an aspiration pump (), a catheter () and a valve () is provided. the aspiration pump () is for providing an negative pressure continuously or by interval. the catheter () having a distal end (), mid portion () and a proximal end () and defining a longitudinal axis. the valve () connects between the aspiration pump () and the proximal end () of the catheter () or connects to the catheter (). wherein, the catheter () comprises at least one elastic area (), which is compressed along the longitudinal axis in response to application of the negative pressure and expanded along the longitudinal axis in response to relieve of the negative pressure.
