AORTO OSTIAL FLUID DIRECTING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18232100 titled 'AORTO OSTIAL FLUID DIRECTING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a fluid directing device that includes a catheter and a skirt.

• The catheter has a lumen and a distal end and proximal end.
• The skirt is attached to the distal region of the catheter and encircles it.
• The skirt has a proximal end attached to the catheter and a free distal end.
• The skirt can move between a collapsed state and an expanded state.
• In the expanded state, the skirt's sidewall extends radially away from the catheter, creating an interior chamber.
• The skirt is designed to prevent contrast media from passing through the sidewall when it exits the catheter lumen.

Original Abstract Submitted

A fluid directing device may include a catheter and a skirt. The catheter may define a lumen and may have a distal end and a proximal end. The skirt may be attached to a distal region of the catheter and may encircle the catheter. The skirt may have a proximal end attached to the catheter, and a free distal end, the skirt having a sidewall extending between the proximal and distal ends thereof, the skirt configured to move between a collapsed state and an expanded state in which the sidewall extends radially away from the catheter, the sidewall defining an interior chamber in the expanded state, wherein the skirt is configured to prevent contrast media that exits the catheter lumen from passing through the sidewall.
