Aspiration thrombectomy system for clot removal
The patent US12035931B1 describes an advanced aspiration system designed for the removal of clots through aspiration thrombectomy. The system comprises multiple components, including a variety of aspiration catheters, each with distinct sizes and diameters, allowing for tailored interventions based on the specific needs of the patient. The aspiration catheters feature a proximal end with a lumen for fluid accommodation and a catheter hub for connection. The system also includes a console that supports the components, a vacuum canister for collecting extracted material, and a vacuum source that delivers vacuum to the catheters. Additionally, a fluid source provides pressure to the aspiration catheters, and a set of tubing connects these elements, ensuring efficient operation.
The system is equipped with controllable actuators that manage the vacuum and pressure levels applied to the aspiration catheters. A controller determines the connection of the catheters to the tubing set based on their parameters and operates the actuators to optimize aspiration power. The design allows for adjustable extraction cycles, which can include rapid cycling between vacuum levels to enhance clot removal efficiency. The patent also outlines various configurations for enclosures housing the actuators, including options for external and internal placements relative to the console. Notably, the vacuum canister features a transparent design for visibility of collected material and includes a filter plate to enhance functionality. Overall, this patent presents a comprehensive system aimed at improving the efficacy of clot removal procedures.
