==CATHETER FLUSHING FIXTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024626 titled 'CATHETER FLUSHING FIXTURE

==Simplified Explanation==

The present disclosure is about a flushing fixture for flushing a lumen of a catheter. It consists of a housing with a catheter entry port and a catheter exit port. The catheter entry port is designed to receive at least a distal part of a catheter. The housing defines a flushing chamber that can be partially filled with a liquid to submerge the distal part of the catheter. The catheter exit port includes a deformable exit opening that is shaped to conform to the distal tip of the catheter, ensuring a fluid-tight seal when in use.

* The fixture is designed to flush the lumen of a catheter.
* It has a housing with a catheter entry port and a catheter exit port.
* The catheter entry port receives the distal part of the catheter.
* The housing has a flushing chamber that can be filled with liquid to submerge the catheter.
* The catheter exit port has a deformable opening that conforms to the catheter's distal tip, creating a fluid-tight seal.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Medical procedures involving catheterization, such as urinary catheterization or intravenous therapy.
* Flushing and cleaning catheters to maintain their functionality and prevent infections.
* Ensuring a secure and leak-free connection between the catheter and the flushing fixture.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Ensures proper flushing of the catheter lumen, removing any blockages or debris.
* Provides a secure and leak-free connection between the catheter and the flushing fixture, preventing fluid leakage.
* Submerges the distal part of the catheter in a liquid, enhancing the effectiveness of the flushing process.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improves the efficiency and effectiveness of catheter flushing procedures.
* Reduces the risk of infections associated with catheter use.
* Provides a secure and leak-free connection, minimizing the potential for fluid leakage during flushing.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

the present disclosure relates to a flushing fixture () for flushing a lumen of a catheter, comprising a housing () having a catheter entry port () and a catheter exit port (), the catheter entry port being arranged to receive at least a distal part of a catheter (), wherein the housing defines a flushing chamber () that is at least partially fillable with a liquid to thereby submerge the distal part of the catheter (), wherein the catheter exit port () comprises a deformable exit opening () that is shaped to conform to a distal tip () of the catheter in such a way that the distal tip of the catheter covers the opening in a fluid tight manner, when in use.
