Drainage Catheter Delivery System

View page
US Patent:
6562024, May 13, 2003
Filed:
May 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/854088
Inventors:
Fernando Alvarez de Toledo - Concord MA
Michael Ciannella - Marlborough MA
Susan M. Ostrowski - Arlington MA
Albert N. Solbjor - Waltham MA
Assignee:
SciMed Life Systems, Inc. - Maple Grove MN
International Classification:
A61M 100
US Classification:
604540, 604 8, 604544, 604523
Abstract:
A single operator drainage catheter delivery system and method of use. The delivery system includes a guide member having a guidewire lumen extending through a distal portion thereof, with a proximal guidewire port located distal of the proximal end. A placement catheter disposed over the guide member has a catheter lumen extending through a distal portion thereof, with a proximal guidewire port located distal of the proximal end. Locating the proximal guidewire ports as such allows the delivery system to be used by a single person with a shorter guidewire. A drainage catheter is disposed about the guide member distal of the placement catheter. The drainage catheter delivery system preferably includes a means for releasably connecting the placement catheter to the drainage catheter, wherein the releasable connecting means disconnects the drainage catheter upon displacement of the guide member.

A61M 37/00
A61M 29/00
US Classification:
604528, 604 9501, 606194
Abstract:
A robotic medical system for use with an intravascular catheter that delivers fluid within an anatomical vessel is provided. The robotic medical system comprises a user interface configured for receiving at least one command, an electromechanical driver configured for being coupled to the catheter, a fluid delivery controller coupled to the catheter, and an electric controller configured for directing the electromechanical driver to mechanically move the catheter within at least one degree-of-freedom and for directing the fluid delivery controller to deliver fluid to the catheter in response to the at least one command. The robotic medical system may further comprise a source of fluid and a fluid line configured for coupling the source of fluid to the catheter, and a manifold configured for fluidly interfacing with the catheter, in which case, the manifold has a fluid inlet port coupled to the fluid line.

US Patent:
7959557, Jun 14, 2011
Filed:
Jun 13, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/762726
Inventors:
Barry D. Weitzner - Acton MA, US
Gary S. Rogers - Wenham MA, US
Albert Solbjor - Waltham MA, US
Dwight Meglan - Westwood MA, US
Robert Ailinger - Norwood MA, US
David L. Brock - Natick MA, US

Assignee:
Hansen Medical, Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
A61B 1/005
US Classification:
600102, 600117, 600118, 128898
Abstract:
A method of performing a medical procedure on a patient comprises introducing a medical instrument into a patient (e. g. , percutaneously), conveying control signals from a remote controller to a drive unit, and operating the drive unit in accordance with the control signals to actuate the tool located on the medical instrument to secure a stent to an anatomical vessel (e. g. , a blood vessel, such as an abdominal aorta). The tool may be a sewing tool that is controlled to stitch the stent to the anatomical vessel. In one method, the control signals are conveyed from the remote controller to the drive unit in response to user commands. The user commands may be movements made at a user interface that correspond to movements of the medical instrument.
