International Classification:

A61M 25/00

US Classification:

604533

Abstract:

Medical devices, catheter hubs, and methods for making and using the same are disclosed. An example medical device may include a catheter shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end. A hub may be coupled to the proximal end of the catheter shaft. The hub may include a hub body and a rotatable tip member that rotatable with respect to the hub body. A distal end of the rotatable tip member may be coupled to the proximal end of the catheter shaft. The rotatable tip member may be configured to transmit torque applied to the rotatable tip member to the catheter shaft.

International Classification:

A61M 25/00
B29C 47/06

US Classification:

604523, 26417127

Abstract:

Medical devices and methods for making and using medical devices are disclosed. An example medical device may include a catheter shaft having an inner surface defining a lumen. A liner may be disposed within the lumen and along the inner surface. At least a portion of the liner may be radially spaced from the inner surface of the catheter shaft so that a space is defined therebetween. The liner may include an inner layer, an outer layer, and a polymeric reinforcing member. At least a portion of the polymeric reinforcing member may be disposed between an outer surface of the inner layer and an outer surface of the outer layer. The polymeric reinforcing member may have a melting temperature lower than the melting temperature of the inner layer, the outer layer, or both.

International Classification:

A61F 2/01

US Classification:

606200

Abstract:

Vessel occlusion method including the steps of positioning a coil anchor in a large diameter blood vessel, wherein the coil anchor includes a radially expandable sidewall, a proximal opening dimensioned to receive an embolic coil, a distal opening, and the coil anchor further comprising at least one coil retaining element configured to retain an embolic coil within the blood vessel.
