==MULTI-LUMEN CANNULAE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18522232 titled 'MULTI-LUMEN CANNULAE

==Simplified Explanation==

The present disclosure involves multi-lumen cannulae for medical procedures, with multiple ports and sidewall lumens, a central lumen, and two balloons for isolating a patient's right atrium.

* Elongated body with multiple ports and sidewall lumens
* Central lumen connecting to sidewall lumens
* Two balloons for isolating right atrium

== Potential Applications ==
The multi-lumen cannulae can be used in various medical procedures such as cardiac surgeries, catheterizations, and other interventions requiring access to the heart.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology provides a more efficient and effective way to access and isolate the right atrium of a patient's heart during medical procedures, reducing the risk of complications and improving overall patient outcomes.

== Benefits ==
- Improved access to the right atrium
- Enhanced safety during procedures
- Better control and precision in medical interventions

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Advanced Multi-Lumen Cannulae for Cardiac Procedures" can be used in hospitals, surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities for a wide range of cardiac procedures, potentially improving patient care and outcomes.

== Possible Prior Art ==
Prior art may include traditional single-lumen cannulae used in cardiac procedures, which may not offer the same level of versatility and precision as the multi-lumen cannulae described in this patent application.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this technology compare to existing single-lumen cannulae in terms of performance and safety during cardiac procedures? ===

The article does not provide a direct comparison between the multi-lumen cannulae and traditional single-lumen cannulae in terms of performance and safety during cardiac procedures. Further research or clinical studies may be needed to evaluate the differences between the two types of cannulae.

=== What are the potential limitations or challenges in implementing this technology in clinical practice? ===

The article does not address potential limitations or challenges in implementing the multi-lumen cannulae in clinical practice. Factors such as cost, training requirements, and compatibility with existing medical equipment could be important considerations for healthcare providers looking to adopt this technology.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

The present disclosure concerns embodiments of multi-lumen cannulae that can be used in various different medical procedures. The multi-lumen cannulae can comprise an elongated body comprising multiple different ports that connect to various different sidewall lumens contained within the elongated body. The multi-lumen cannulae can also comprise a central lumen that extends through the entire elongated body and can be fluidly connected to the various different sidewall lumens. The multi-lumen cannulae can further comprise two balloons on an exterior of the elongated body, which can be used to isolate a right atrium of a patient's heart.
