Catheter system for percutaneous applications with fluid transport
The patent US12029868B2 describes a catheter system designed for enhanced interaction with 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 permits tissue to be lodged between the turns, facilitating effective engagement. Additionally, the catheter incorporates a pathway for fluid transport and an insertion needle that can pierce through tissues, which is removable and includes a rigid portion to help shape the flexible section of the catheter.
Further claims detail specific characteristics of the catheter system, such as the flexible portion returning to its original shape after the insertion needle is removed. The helical turns are designed to resist straightening under traction forces, ensuring stability during use. The spacing between the turns is adjustable, with a specified pitch of two to four millimeters, and the diameter of the turns is larger than that of the straight section. These features collectively enhance the catheter's functionality, making it suitable for various medical applications where precise tissue interaction is required.
