Appl. No.:
10/300467
Inventors:
Kenneth Khaw - Plainsboro NJ, US

John K-J Li - Robbinsville NJ, US
Assignee:
University of Medicine and Dentristy of New Jersey - New Brunswick NJ
International Classification:
A61M 1/12
US Classification:
600 16, 623 31, 623 313
Abstract:
An inflatable circulation assist device is disclosed consisting of an inflatable stator housing an impeller with inflatable blades of varying shapes and sizes. The invention is introduced into the patient percutaneously. The circulation assist device is a small pump packaged into a compact form that is attached to a long flexible driveshaft. The pump is inserted along a guidewire to a target location, and then the pump is inflated. The circulation assist device's exterior is designed to expand only so much as to closely fit whatever cardiovascular system element in which it is placed for operation. The vascular assist device can be expanded either by inflation with a fluid. The driveshaft, which connects to the circulation assist device's impeller and extends outside the patient's body, is rotated by an external motor. After the circulation assist device is no longer needed, it is collapsed into a compact form and removed from the patient percutaneously.
Vascular Access Needle
US Patent:
7708721, May 4, 2010
Filed:
Apr 5, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/547311
Inventors:
Kenneth Khaw - Plainsboro NJ, US
Assignee:
University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey - Somerset NJ
International Classification:
A61M 25/00
US Classification:
604264
Abstract:
A vascular access needle assembly is provided. The needle assembly includes a housing interconnected with a needle. The housing and the needle have slots along their lengths which are aligned to form a slot extending along the entire needle assembly. A sheath interconnected with the needle extends partially about the needle and includes a slot. The vascular access needle, with the needle point exposed and needle slot closed, can be inserted into the blood vessel of a subject and a guide wire can be inserted into the blood vessel through the needle assembly. The sheath is then moved to cover the needle point and to expose the needle slot so that the guide wire can be lifted through the needle, sheath and housing slots and the vascular access needle assembly removed, leaving the guide wire in the subject. The device can also be used as a wire introducer for catheters. The vascular needle assembly can also be used as a biopsy needle for obtaining biopsy tissue wherein the edges of one or both of the needle slot and sheath slot are sharpened for cutting tissue.
