Thrombectomy Catheter Deployment System

US Patent:
7935077, May 3, 2011
Filed:
Sep 28, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/237558
Inventors:
Eric Joel Thor - Arden Hills MN, US
Michael John Bonnette - Minneapolis MN, US
Nicole Jaye Aasen - Minneapolis MN, US
Martyn Stuart Abbott - Dallas TX, US
Douglas James Ball - Coon Rapids MN, US
Walter Charles Croll - Maplewood MN, US
David Charles Cummings - Richardson TX, US
Chad Nicholas Grant - San Diego CA, US
Mark Alfred Hilse - Ham Lake MN, US
James Fredrick Karpinski - Blaine MN, US
Daniel Joseph Kneip - Anna TX, US
Jeffrey William Rogers - Plano TX, US
John Lloyd Teschendorf - Lino Lakes MN, US
Stephen Earl Weisel - Montrose MN, US
David Woodruff West - Richardson TX, US
Assignee:
Medrad, Inc. - Indianola PA
International Classification:
A61M 31/00, A61N 1/30
US Classification:
604 67, 604 19, 604 65
Abstract:
A thrombectomy catheter deployment system which greatly simplifies setup procedures and operation of a thrombectomy catheter includes a stand alone drive unit and a disposable pump/catheter assembly which is manually placed into a carriage assembly in the drive unit. The pump/catheter assembly has a plurality of preconnected components including tubular structure and a thrombectomy catheter connected thereto and is transported into or out of the interior of the drive unit for automatic high pressure pump piston head engagement or disengagement with a reciprocating linear actuator and for automatic engagement or disengagement of an effluent waste tube with a roller pump. A barcode reader senses specific operational data pertaining to an individual pump and provides an interface for operation of the reciprocating linear actuator. A bubble trap incorporated for effective debubbling of saline solution is closely coupled to an insert molded pump having an improved valve arrangement. A spiked bag with large tubing is incorporated for bubble-free transfer of saline.

Thrombectomy Catheter Device Having A Self-Sealing Hemostasis Valve

US Patent:
7226433, Jun 5, 2007
Filed:
Jun 5, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/455096
Inventors:
Michael John Bonnette - Minneapolis MN, US
John Christopher Riles - Minneapolis MN, US
Mark Alfred Hilse - Ham Lake MN, US
Eric Joel Thor - Arden Hills MN, US
Marvin Harris York - Richfield MN, US
Assignee:
Possis Medical, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61M 25/00
US Classification:
60416401, 604247, 604264
Abstract:
A thrombectomy catheter device having an improved hemostasis valve which is self-sealing and which functions as a one-way valve. The self-sealing hemostasis valve can be factory preset to automatically seal with or without the inclusion of a guidewire at a certain desired pressure or allowable leakage. Such sealing is automatic without the need to manually manipulate a hemostasis nut to obtain hemostasis. The thrombectomy catheter device can, without hemostasis nut adjustment, be positioned along and about a guidewire while yet maintaining suitable pressure for sustaining hemostasis at a preferred level. Certain embodiments of the thrombectomy catheter device having a self-sealing hemostasis valve include an adjustable hemostasis nut which can be manually tightened to restrict flow or guidewire movement or loosened to reduce friction on the guidewire and allow fluid to flow out if desired. An introducer facilitates free passage of a guidewire in either direction through the hemostasis nut and hemostasis valving and can also be incorporated to purge internal air or fluids.
