MEDICAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND RELATED METHODS OF USE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240307044 titled 'MEDICAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND RELATED METHODS OF USE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a delivery device that can be attached to a medical device to deliver a substance to a treatment site. The device has a flexible wall that, when activated, releases the substance through openings on the device's surface.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Tube with a lumen for substance delivery
- Cavity to hold deliverable substance
- Flexible wall for controlled substance release
- Openings on the distal end for substance delivery
- Transition between configurations for substance delivery
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in various medical procedures where controlled substance delivery is required, such as drug administration, wound treatment, or tissue repair.
Problems Solved: This device addresses the need for precise and controlled delivery of substances to specific treatment sites within the body, improving the effectiveness of medical procedures.
Benefits:
- Enhanced precision in substance delivery
- Reduced risk of substance leakage or wastage
- Improved treatment outcomes
- Increased efficiency in medical procedures
Commercial Applications: The technology could have commercial applications in the medical device industry, particularly in the development of advanced delivery systems for pharmaceuticals, biologics, and other medical substances.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the flexible wall of the device facilitate controlled substance delivery? 2. What are the potential challenges in integrating this delivery device with existing medical devices?
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in the field of medical device technology may lead to advancements in substance delivery systems, potentially improving the efficiency and effectiveness of medical treatments.
Original Abstract Submitted
a delivery device comprises a tube having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending from the proximal to the distal end. the proximal end is mountable to a distal tip of a medical device via the lumen. the tube includes an inner wall defining the lumen, an outer wall coupled to the inner wall at the proximal and distal ends, a cavity formed from the coupled inner and outer walls and configured to hold a deliverable substance, and a plurality of openings connected to the cavity and positioned on a distal-facing surface of the distal end. at least a portion of the inner wall or the outer wall is a flexible wall that transitions between a first and a second configuration to cause delivery of the deliverable substance from the cavity to a treatment site through the openings when a force is applied to the flexible wall.
