Bilumen Peripheral Venous Catheter With Adapter
US Patent:
4776841, Oct 11, 1988
Filed:
Sep 11, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/906138
Inventors:
Marc L. Catalano - Miramar FL
International Classification:
A61M 2500
US Classification:
604 43
Abstract:
Bilumen catheters of the present invention have two lumens to supply two non-miscible liquids simultaneously and a method for their use. The two lumens are enclosed within a single catheter and have different cross-sections, the lumen of larger cross-section not exceeding 18 gauge to infuse or remove higher viscosity fluids, such as blood, and the lumen of smaller cross-section designed to infuse or remove lower viscosity fluids. Catheters of this invention are more narrow than prior art catheters so that they need not be employed in the vicinity of the heart or other vital organs and may be used in peripheral portions of a patient's body, such as the patient's limbs. This invention reduces the likelihood of blood clots, dysarythmias and infection. They do not need highly trained individuals, such as doctors, for injection purposes, but may be used by any paramedic or nurse in an emergency. This invention also comprises an adapter of special construction that facilitates connecting said lumens simultaneously to sources of different fluids for simultaneous infusion thereof into a peripheral cavity of a patient.
Method Of Using Bilumen Peripheral Venous Catheter With Adapter
US Patent:
4960409, Oct 2, 1990
Filed:
Oct 5, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/253618
Inventors:
Marc L. Catalano - Miramar FL
International Classification:
A61M 500
US Classification:
604 53
Abstract:
Bilumen catheters of the present invention have tow lumens to supply two non-miscible liquids simultaneously and a method for their use. The two lumens are enclosed within a single catheter and have different cross-sections, the lumen of larger cross-section being adapted to infuse or remove higher viscosity fluids, such as blood, and the lumen of smaller cross-section designed to infuse or remove lower viscosity fluids. Catheters of this invention are more narrow than prior art catheters so that they need not be employed in the vicinity of the heart or other vital organs and may be used in peripheral portions of a patient's body, such as the patient's limbs. This invention reduces the likelihood of blood clots, dysarythmias and infection. They do not need highly trained individuals, such as doctors, for injection purposes, but may be used by any paramedic or nurse in an emergency. This invention also comprises an adapter of special construction that facilitates connecting said lumens simultaneously to sources of different fluids for simultaneous infusion thereof into a peripheral cavity of a patient.

International Classification:
A61M 516
US Classification:
604254
Abstract:
This invention relates to a hydrostatic float valve for use in a fluid feed system that is capable of automatically shutting off the flow of fluid to a body cavity of a patient whenever additional or more rapid flow of said fluid would harm said patient and also relates to a fluid delivery system of the intravenous type that incorporates said hydrostatic float valve.
