Catheter system for percutaneous applications with fluid transport
The patent US12029868B2 describes a catheter system designed to enhance the interaction between the catheter and tissue during medical procedures. The system includes a catheter featuring a straight section and a flexible portion, which is complemented by a shaping member that has a helical section. This helical section allows the flexible portion to adopt a plurality of turns, providing sufficient rigidity to enable traction with tissue. The design facilitates the lodging of tissue between the turns, thereby improving the catheter's effectiveness. Additionally, the system incorporates a pathway for fluid transport and an insertion needle that can pierce through tissues, with the needle being removable to allow the flexible portion to return to its original shape.
Further claims detail specific features of the catheter system, such as the inclusion of a rigid portion in the insertion needle to assist in shaping the flexible portion. The flexible section remains straight while the needle is in place but reverts to its original configuration upon removal. The helical turns are designed to resist straightening under traction forces, ensuring stability during use. The spacing between the turns and the pitch, which ranges from two to four millimeters, are also specified, along with the diameter of the turns being larger than that of the straight section. These features collectively aim to enhance the catheter's performance in medical applications, particularly in procedures requiring precise tissue interaction.
