Shunts with blood-flow indicators - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042117 titled 'Shunts with blood-flow indicators
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus for shunting blood that includes a flow-indication chamber with an entry port and an exit port. Inside the chamber, there are one or more movable objects that respond to the flow of blood from the entry port to the exit port. The chamber has a transparent wall that allows the movable objects to be seen.
- The apparatus is designed to shunt blood in a controlled manner.
- The flow-indication chamber has an entry port and an exit port.
- Movable objects within the chamber move in response to the flow of blood.
- The transparent wall of the chamber allows the movable objects to be visible.
- The patent application also mentions other embodiments of the invention.
Potential Applications:
- Medical devices for monitoring blood flow in patients.
- Diagnostic tools for assessing blood circulation.
- Research tools for studying blood flow dynamics.
Problems Solved:
- Provides a visual indication of blood flow without invasive procedures.
- Allows for non-invasive monitoring of blood flow in real-time.
- Enables early detection of abnormalities or blockages in blood vessels.
Benefits:
- Non-invasive and real-time monitoring of blood flow.
- Improved patient comfort and reduced risk of complications.
- Early detection of blood flow issues for timely intervention.
- Enhanced understanding of blood flow dynamics for medical research.
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus for shunting blood includes a flow-indication chamber shaped to define an entry port and an exit port, and one or more moveable objects disposed within the flow-indication chamber and configured to move in response to a flowing of the blood from the entry port to the exit port. at least a portion of a wall of the flow-indication chamber is transparent so as to expose the moveable objects to sight. other embodiments are also described.
