Continuous Anesthesia Nerve Conduction Apparatus, System And Method Thereof

US Patent:
2014002, Jan 23, 2014
Filed:
Sep 24, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/035940
Inventors:
Dan Joel Kopacz - Colorado Springs CO, US
Siddharth Desai - Ladera Ranch CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/34, A61M 25/06
US Classification:
604512, 60416401
Abstract:
The invention generally relates to a continuous anesthesia nerve conduction apparatus and method thereof, and more particularly to a method and system for use in administering a continuous flow or intermittent bolus of anesthetic agent to facilitate a continuous or prolonged nerve block. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a sheath having a proximal end, a distal end and at least one lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end. The sheath also includes an embedded conductive element for transmitting an electrical signal from a proximal portion of the sheath to a distal portion of the sheath. A cannula is arranged in the at least one lumen of the sheath and has a distal end protruding from a distal portion of the sheath. The cannula is electrically coupled to at least a portion of the embedded conductive element and is configured to provide nerve stimulation.
