International Classification:

G01B 11/24
G01B 11/16

Abstract:

Shape-sensing systems and methods for medical devices. The shape-sensing system can include a medical device, an optical interrogator, a console, and a display screen. The medical device can include an integrated optical-fiber stylet having fiber Bragg grating (“FBG”) sensors along at least a distal-end portion thereof. The optical interrogator can be configured to send input optical signals into the optical-fiber stylet and receive FBG sensor-reflected optical signals therefrom. The console can be configured to convert the reflected optical signals with the aid of filtering algorithms of some optical signal-converter algorithms into plottable data for displaying plots thereof on the display screen. The plots can include a plot of curvature vs. time for each FBG sensor of a selection of the FBG sensors for identifying a distinctive change in strain of the optical-fiber stylet as a tip of the medical device is advanced into a superior vena cava of a patient.

Abstract:

Connection systems and methods thereof facilitate establishing electrical connections through a barrier such as a drape without compromising a sterile field established by the barrier. A connection system can include two connectors. A first connector can include a first-connector housing defining a cavity, a slideable end piece coupled to a distal-end portion of the first-connector housing, and at least a first piercing element connected to a first electrical lead. The first piercing element can be configured to enter the cavity and pierce a barrier disposed in the cavity when the slideable end piece is advanced toward a proximal-end portion of the first-connector housing. A second connector can include at least a first receptacle within a second-connector housing connected to a second electrical lead. The first receptacle can be configured to form at least a first electrical connection with the first piercing element after the first piercing element pierces the barrier.

International Classification:

A61B 1/07
A61B 5/00
A61B 1/00

Abstract:

Integrated tubing is disclosed including a tubing wall, one or more lumens, and a longitudinal bead of the integrated tubing including one or more optical fibers disposed therein. Each lumen of the one or more lumens is defined at least in part by the tubing wall. The longitudinal bead of the integrated tubing is between opposing sides of the tubing wall. A medical device is also disclosed including a catheter tube and an integrated stylet. The catheter tube includes a catheter-tube wall and one or more lumens of the catheter tube. Each lumen of the one or more lumens is defined at least in part by the catheter-tube wall. The integrated stylet includes one or more optical fibers. The catheter tube also includes a longitudinal bead between opposing sides of the catheter tube having the one or more optical fibers disposed therein. Method for manufacturing the foregoing are also disclosed.
