Hemostasis valve for sealing medical devices
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11865291B2) discloses a hemostasis valve designed to control bleeding during medical procedures. The valve comprises a support structure, an actuator with movable members, a collapsible tubular sidewall defining a lumen, a filament looped around the sidewall, and a spring that reduces the lumen diameter by pulling the filament in response to loop diameter reduction. The valve also includes multiple configurations with additional movable members and continuous filaments for enhanced sealing and closure capabilities.
Moreover, the patent extends to an aspiration catheter system incorporating the hemostasis valve to selectively couple or decouple lumens for fluid control. The system features an aspiration catheter with a proximal end portion and a hemostasis valve with an actuator, collapsible tubular sidewall, filament loop, and spring mechanism. By manipulating the actuator and filament, healthcare professionals can efficiently manage fluid flow within the system, providing a versatile solution for medical procedures requiring precise control over fluid dynamics. Additionally, a simplified version of the hemostasis valve is presented, consisting of a support, a movable button, a collapsible tubular sidewall, a filament loop, and a biasing member. This configuration allows for easy diameter reduction of the lumen by pulling the filament, showcasing the adaptability and scalability of the valve design for various medical applications.
