Introducer for an interventional device, particularly a delivery catheter for TAVI, comprising an expandable sheath - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024621 titled 'Introducer for an interventional device, particularly a delivery catheter for TAVI, comprising an expandable sheath
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a delivery system for inserting an interventional device into a patient's blood vessel. The system includes an introducer with a tubular sheath that guides the interventional device into the vessel. The introducer also has a fastening mechanism to secure it to the interventional device and prevent movement along the longitudinal axis.
- The delivery system is designed to insert an interventional device into a patient's blood vessel.
- The introducer is a tubular sheath that guides the interventional device into the vessel.
- The introducer has a fastening mechanism to prevent movement of the introducer with respect to the interventional device along the longitudinal axis.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Minimally invasive medical procedures requiring the insertion of interventional devices into blood vessels.
- Delivery of stents, catheters, or other medical devices to treat cardiovascular conditions.
- Interventional radiology procedures such as embolization or angioplasty.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures accurate and precise placement of interventional devices within blood vessels.
- Reduces the risk of complications or damage to the vessel during insertion.
- Provides a secure and stable connection between the introducer and the interventional device.
Benefits of this technology:
- Minimizes the invasiveness of medical procedures by using a smaller incision or puncture site.
- Improves patient comfort and recovery time.
- Enhances the effectiveness and success rate of interventional procedures.
Original Abstract Submitted
a delivery system includes an interventional device having a distal end portion and an introducer configured to insert the interventional device into a vessel of a patient. the introducer has a tubular sheath configured to be inserted into the vessel defining a lumen to guide the interventional device into the vessel. the introducer includes a fastening mechanism configured to releasably fasten the introducer to the interventional device to prevent movement of the introducer with respect to the interventional device along a longitudinal axis.
