HIGH PRESSURE PROTECTION FOR JET ASPIRATION CATHETER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18415780 titled 'HIGH PRESSURE PROTECTION FOR JET ASPIRATION CATHETER

The patent application describes a thrombectomy catheter with high-pressure protection systems to safeguard the catheter shaft from high-pressure fluid jets.

  • The catheter body includes a catheter lumen for fluid flow.
  • A high-pressure fluid supply tube extends through the catheter lumen, with jet orifices for expelling fluid jets.
  • Reinforcement members within the catheter lumen help protect the catheter shaft from the impact of fluid jets.

Potential Applications: - Medical procedures requiring thrombectomy or clot removal. - Minimally invasive surgeries where high-pressure fluid jets are used.

Problems Solved: - Protecting the catheter shaft from damage due to high-pressure fluid jets. - Ensuring the safety and effectiveness of thrombectomy procedures.

Benefits: - Improved safety for patients undergoing thrombectomy procedures. - Enhanced durability and longevity of the catheter shaft.

Commercial Applications: Thrombectomy catheters with high-pressure protection systems can be used in hospitals, surgical centers, and other medical facilities for various interventional procedures.

Questions about Thrombectomy Catheter with High-Pressure Protection Systems: 1. How does the high-pressure protection system work to safeguard the catheter shaft? 

  - The high-pressure protection system includes reinforcement members that help absorb the impact of fluid jets, preventing damage to the catheter shaft.

2. What are the potential risks associated with using thrombectomy catheters without high-pressure protection systems? 

  - Without high-pressure protection systems, there is a higher risk of catheter damage and potential harm to the patient during thrombectomy procedures.


Original Abstract Submitted

Thrombectomy catheter and high-pressure protection systems for protecting a catheter shaft from high-pressure fluid jets. An illustrative thrombectomy catheter may comprise a catheter body including a catheter lumen extending therethrough. A high-pressure fluid supply tube extends through the catheter lumen from the catheter body proximal end region toward the catheter body distal end region. The high-pressure fluid supply tube is configured for communication with a fluid source near the catheter body proximal end region. The high-pressure fluid supply tube includes jet orifices for expelling fluid jets from the high-pressure fluid supply tube within the catheter lumen. Reinforcement members are disposed within the catheter lumen such that fluid jets expelled from the jet orifices impinge against the reinforcement members.
