Appl. No.:
11/426315
Inventors:
Kenneth High - Helena MT, US
International Classification:
A61F 11/00
US Classification:
606108000
Abstract:
A Foley catheter capture device including a tube with an interiorly extending flange. The catheter is captured by inflating the balloon portion of the Foley catheter inside the tube beyond the flange. A second Foley catheter capture device includes a pair of clamshell halves which are fitted together to form a tubular structure. One of the clamshell halves has a pin secured thereto extending inwardly where the pin is sized to be received by the laterally extending hole of the Foley catheter. A Councill catheter capture device is described which includes a wire having a nodule secured to the wire intermediate the ends thereof. The nodule is sized to be larger than the axial hole of the Councill catheter whereby the catheter is captured when an end of the wire is threaded through the axial hole with the nodule positioned inside the catheter.
