Catheter Having Highly Radiopaque, Flexible Tip
US Patent:
5171232, Dec 15, 1992
Filed:
Jul 12, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/729372
Inventors:
Miguel A. Castillo - Hialeah FL
Javier E. Castaneda - Miami FL
Eric Glemser - Miami FL
Javier E. Castaneda - Miami FL
Eric Glemser - Miami FL
Assignee:
Cordis Corporation - Miami Lakes FL
International Classification:
A61M 2500
US Classification:
604280
Abstract:
A flexible plastic catheter defines a flexible, distal tip. In accordance with this invention, the distal tip comprises a plastic formulation containing sufficient radiopaque agent to be substantially more radiopaque and preferably softer than portions of the catheter proximal to the tip. Thus, the distal tip area of the catheter can be flexible to avoid possible tissue damage as the catheter is advanced, but is still readily visible by x-ray. At the same time, the majority of the catheter may be of normal flexibility and strength.
