ROUTING ASSEMBLY FOR INTRAVASCULAR LITHOTRIPSY CATHETER SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032995 titled 'ROUTING ASSEMBLY FOR INTRAVASCULAR LITHOTRIPSY CATHETER SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a catheter system for treating a treatment site within or adjacent to a blood vessel wall in a patient's body. The system includes a first energy guide, a second energy guide, and a routing assembly. The routing assembly defines a routing space that retains a routing length of each of the energy guides. It includes an inner routing guide positioned within the routing space, with the routing length of each energy guide being positioned at least partially about the inner routing guide. The routing space is configured to allow for adjustable routing length of at least one of the energy guides.

  • The catheter system is designed for treating a treatment site within or near a blood vessel wall.
  • It includes a first and second energy guide, along with a routing assembly.
  • The routing assembly has a routing space that holds the routing length of each energy guide.
  • An inner routing guide is positioned within the routing space.
  • The routing length of each energy guide is at least partially around the inner routing guide.
  • The routing space allows for adjustable routing length of at least one energy guide.

Potential Applications:

  • Minimally invasive treatment of blood vessel conditions or diseases.
  • Targeted delivery of energy-based therapies to specific treatment sites within blood vessels.
  • Treatment of conditions such as arterial blockages, aneurysms, or vascular malformations.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a system for precise and controlled delivery of energy-based therapies to treatment sites within blood vessels.
  • Allows for adjustable routing length, enabling customization based on the specific treatment site and patient anatomy.
  • Minimizes the risk of damage to the vessel wall during the treatment procedure.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced precision and control in treating blood vessel conditions.
  • Minimally invasive approach reduces patient discomfort and recovery time.
  • Customizable routing length improves adaptability to different treatment sites and patient anatomies.
  • Reduces the risk of complications or damage to the blood vessel wall during treatment.


Original Abstract Submitted

a catheter system () for treating a treatment site () within or adjacent to a vessel wall (a) of a blood vessel () within a body () of a patient () includes a first energy guide (a), a second energy guide (a), and a routing assembly (). the routing assembly () defines a routing space () that retains a routing length (l) of each of the energy guides (a), the routing assembly () including an inner routing guide () that is positioned within the routing space (), the routing length (l) of each of the energy guides (a) each being positioned at least partially about the inner routing guide (), the routing space () being configured so that the routing length (l) of at least one of the energy guides (a) is adjustable.
