International Classification:

A61M 25/10
A61M 25/00

US Classification:

604 9601, 604111, 604246

Abstract:

A single-use indicator is provided and is particularly well suited for use with a surgical catheter device. The indicator includes an absorbent filament or wick which is placed in a transparent or translucent indicator lumen of a multi-lumen catheter. The lumen is provided with at least one side port. When the catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, blood enters the indicator lumen through the side port and is absorbed by the filament, thus turning the filament red or purple in color. When the instrument is removed from the blood vessel, the stained filament is clearly visible as an indicator that the instrument has been used. Because the filament is trapped inside a lumen of a relatively long catheter, it is difficult or impossible to remove it during a remanufacturing process.

International Classification:

A61M 25/01

Abstract:

A catheter has a jacket () defining a lumen and a helical support (). The catheter has a proximal portion () and a distal portion (), the distal portion having for at least some of its length a corrugated outer surface. A transition portion has a flexural stiffness which is less than that of the distal portion and more than that of the proximal portion. The transition portion provides an optimum transition in flexural stiffness by way of features of the jacket including geometry of jacket corrugations (), or overlapping tubular layers (). The distal end of the distal portion may have an extension of liner material folded over () to provide a particularly soft tip. In other examples the liner is terminated () before the distal tip. The catheter is particularly suited to an aspiration device () with a flow restrictor () and the distal portion distal of the flow restrictor. An aspiration system () may employ the catheter with a pump which dynamically applies negative or positive pressure to optimally aspirate a clot.
