TORQUER FOR AN ELONGATED MEDICAL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024629 titled 'TORQUER FOR AN ELONGATED MEDICAL DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a torquer for an elongated medical device. The torquer includes a body with a cavity that defines a pathway. Within the cavity, there is a movable first jaw that has a compliant pad. A separate biasing member biases the first jaw relative to the body. An actuator, movable relative to the body, is used to move the first jaw and pinch and/or unpinch the elongated medical device with the first pad within the pathway.

  • The torquer is designed for use with an elongated medical device.
  • It includes a body with a cavity that defines a pathway for the device.
  • A movable first jaw is present within the cavity.
  • The first jaw has a compliant pad.
  • A biasing member, separate from the first jaw, biases the first jaw relative to the body.
  • An actuator, movable relative to the body, is used to move the first jaw.
  • The first jaw can pinch and/or unpinch the elongated medical device using the compliant pad within the pathway.

Potential Applications:

  • Medical procedures requiring the manipulation of elongated medical devices.
  • Minimally invasive surgeries.
  • Endoscopic procedures.
  • Catheter-based interventions.

Problems Solved:

  • Facilitates the manipulation and control of elongated medical devices.
  • Provides a secure grip on the device.
  • Allows for precise movement and positioning of the device.
  • Reduces the risk of slippage or damage to the device during procedures.

Benefits:

  • Improved accuracy and control during medical procedures.
  • Enhanced safety for both patients and medical professionals.
  • Minimizes the risk of complications or errors.
  • Enables more efficient and effective use of elongated medical devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

a torquer for an elongated medical device includes a body having a cavity defining a pathway. a first jaw is movable within the cavity. the first jaw includes a pad having a compliant property. a biasing member separate from the first jaw biases the first jaw relative to the body. an actuator movable relative to the body moves the first jaw to pinch and/or unpinch the elongated medical device with the first pad within the pathway.
