Catheter assembly with deflection suppression mechanism
A catheter assembly described in a filed patent (Publication Number: US20240024622A1) comprises a catheter with a main lumen and one or more sub lumens, along with an inner needle and a deflection suppression mechanism to support the inner needle and prevent deflection. The sub lumens communicate with sub openings in the catheter, and the deflection suppression mechanism contacts the catheter at specific locations to ensure stability during advancement. The assembly also includes features such as parallel main and sub lumens, tapered portions with sub openings, and contact points at precise distances from the openings to enhance functionality.
Furthermore, the catheter assembly includes components like catheter hubs, inner needle hubs, and communication paths for medical device connection. The inner needle hub is designed for accommodating the catheter hub and features ports for device connection. The housing of the inner needle hub is separable and includes slits for port access, with ports protruding in different directions based on the design. Additionally, the ports are equipped with soft tubes for flexibility and ease of connection, highlighting the attention to detail in the design of this catheter assembly for medical procedures.
