ASPIRATION CATHETER WITH DISTALLY DIRECTED FLUID JET - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18415797 titled 'ASPIRATION CATHETER WITH DISTALLY DIRECTED FLUID JET

The patent application describes a thrombectomy catheter with a high-pressure system to prevent clogging.

  • The catheter body includes a lumen for a high-pressure fluid supply tube.
  • The high-pressure fluid supply tube has proximally and distally projecting jet orifices for expelling fluid jets in different directions.
  • An entrainment inflow orifice is positioned along the catheter's distal portion.

Potential Applications: - Medical devices for thrombectomy procedures - Interventional cardiology - Vascular surgery

Problems Solved: - Clogging of thrombectomy catheters during procedures - Ensuring effective removal of blood clots

Benefits: - Improved efficiency in thrombectomy procedures - Reduced risk of complications due to catheter clogging

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Thrombectomy Catheter with High-Pressure System This technology can be used in hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities for thrombectomy procedures, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing procedure times.

Questions about Thrombectomy Catheter with High-Pressure System: 1. How does the high-pressure system prevent clogging in the thrombectomy catheter? The high-pressure system expels fluid jets in both proximal and distal directions to prevent clogging and ensure effective blood clot removal.

2. What are the potential market implications of this innovative catheter technology? The market implications include increased demand for advanced thrombectomy devices in the medical industry, potentially leading to improved patient care and outcomes.


Original Abstract Submitted

Thrombectomy catheter and high-pressure systems for preventing clogging of a thrombectomy catheter. 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 supply tube includes at least one proximally projecting jet orifice for expelling at least one proximally oriented fluid jet from said high-pressure fluid supply tube in a generally proximal direction and at least one distally projecting jet orifice for expelling at least one distally oriented fluid jet from said high-pressure fluid supply tube in a generally distal direction. The catheter body further includes an entrainment inflow orifice positioned along the catheter distal portion.
