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.
