International Classification:

B29C 65/00
A61B 5/00
B32B 37/00
A61M 29/00

US Classification:

156296, 156196, 600585, 606194

Abstract:

A catheter having an elongated shaft and a balloon on a distal shaft section, the elongated shaft comprising an outer tubular member, and an inner tubular member which has a bonded portion along which an outer surface of the inner tubular member is bonded to an inner surface of the outer tubular member. The inner tubular member has a proximal portion proximal to the bonded portion, and a distal portion distal to the bonded portion with higher axial compression stiffness and column strength than the proximal portion thereof. The catheter has improved trackability, axial collapse resistance, pushability, and crossability, for improved ability to position the balloon at a desired location in a patient's body lumen.

US Classification:

606/194000

Abstract:

A catheter having an elongated shaft and a balloon on a distal shaft section, the elongated shaft comprising an outer tubular member, and an inner tubular member which has a bonded portion along which an outer surface of the inner tubular member is bonded to an inner surface of the outer tubular member. The inner tubular member has a proximal portion proximal to the bonded portion, and a distal portion distal to the bonded portion with higher axial compression stiffness and column strength than the proximal portion thereof. The catheter has improved traceability, axial collapse resistance, pushability, and crossability, for improved ability to position the balloon at a desired location in a patient's body lumen.

International Classification:

A61M 25/00

US Classification:

604523

Abstract:

A universal cutter for catheters includes a lead fixation feature having a deflectable lower portion and a hinge portion. The deflectable lower portion and the hinge portion of the lead fixation feature allow the cutter to hold and secure leads having varying outer diameters. The cutter holds the lead in place while a guide catheter is moved in a proximal direction toward a blade on the cutter to be split from about the lead.
