Flow modifying apparatus for medical devices
The patent application (Publication Number: US20230414388A1) describes a flow modifying apparatus designed to alter fluid flow within a vessel. The apparatus consists of a radially expandable frame with a reduced diameter portion that includes a fluid flow passage. When expanded, the end portions of the frame flare outwardly, creating a pressure gradient that modifies fluid flow immediately upon implantation. The apparatus includes a cover that can be made of various materials such as polymer, fabric, or tissue, and is designed to prevent or minimize an inflammatory response by the vessel wall. The apparatus can be self-expanding or balloon expandable, and the cover extends over a portion of the frame to shape the flow of fluid.
Furthermore, the system for delivering the flow modifying implant includes the implant itself and a delivery catheter. The implant can be used to modify fluid flow in vessels, with the cover extending up to the first end of the radially expandable frame. The design of the apparatus allows for precise control over fluid flow, with the pressure gradient being greatest between the first end and the reduced diameter portion. The apparatus can be used in various applications where modifying fluid flow is necessary, providing a versatile solution for medical procedures requiring such interventions.
