PACING TOOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18598295 titled 'PACING TOOL
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a pacing tool designed to work with a guidewire, allowing the guidewire to be used for pacing purposes.
- The tool has a body with a cavity to hold the guidewire.
- A compressible electrical contact at the proximal end of the cavity shortens when the guidewire makes contact.
- An electrical cable connects the compressible contact to a pacing system.
- A guidewire holder secures the guidewire in the cavity.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Adapted pacing tool for use with a guidewire
- Compressible electrical contact for pacing functionality
- Electrical cable connection to pacing system
- Guidewire holder for secure placement
Potential Applications: The technology can be used in medical procedures where pacing is required, such as cardiac interventions.
Problems Solved: The tool solves the problem of needing a separate pacing device by utilizing the guidewire for pacing purposes.
Benefits:
- Simplifies procedures by combining pacing and guidewire functions
- Reduces the need for additional equipment
- Enhances efficiency and accuracy in pacing procedures
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in hospitals, cardiac clinics, and other medical facilities for various pacing procedures, potentially reducing costs and improving patient outcomes.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or publications on guidewire accessories for medical procedures.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in guidewire technology, pacing systems, and medical device integration for potential improvements in the pacing tool.
Questions about Pacing Tool with Guidewire: 1. What are the specific advantages of using a pacing tool adapted for a guidewire in medical procedures? 2. How does the compressible electrical contact in the tool contribute to its functionality?
Original Abstract Submitted
A pacing tool adapted for use with a guidewire to allow the guidewire to be used for pacing includes a body defining an elongate cavity adapted to receive a guidewire. A compressible electrical contact is disposed at a proximal end of the elongate cavity and is adapted to shorten axially when a proximal end of the guidewire makes contact with the compressible electrical contact. An electrical cable is electrically coupled with the compressible electrical contact and is adapted to be electrically coupled with a pacing system. The pacing tool may include a guidewire holder for releasably securing the guidewire within the elongate cavity.
