US Patent:

Filed:
May 26, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/116160
Inventors:
Morgan D'AMORE - Seymour CT, US
Assignee:
TRAVIS GROUP, LLC - WILMINGTON DE
International Classification:
A61M 25/10, B23P 19/04
US Classification:
604 9601, 2940203
Abstract:
The invention is drawn to a method and apparatus for providing a pressure relief system for a catheter in the form of a fitting, which, when incorporated into the tubing comprising the inflation lumen, will hold the tubing in place while the pressure is below a predetermined level, but will slide out of the tubing, allowing the tubing to separate and releasing the pressure, provided the pressure exceeds that level. Once the pressure has been released, the fitting may be reattached, the conditions which caused the unsafe overpressure may be corrected, and the procedure continued without removal or replacement of the catheter or any of its components.
