Abstract
Systems and methods for embolizing body lumens are provided that include a mixing component provided in a flow path between two chambers, e.g., syringes, such that one or more actuators may direct embolic material back and forth between the two chambers through the mixing component to mix the embolic material. Once mixed, the embolic material may be delivered from one of the chambers through a catheter into a patient's body to embolize a target location.
Claims23
A system for delivering a flowable embolic material into a target location within a body of a patient, comprising:
- a first chamber including a first piston movable between a retracted position and a discharge position adjacent a first port, the first chamber comprising the flowable embolic material therein;
- a first actuator coupled to the first piston for directing the first piston from the retracted position of the first piston to the discharge position of the first piston to deliver the flowable embolic material from the first chamber out the first port when the first piston is moved from the retracted position of the first piston to the discharge position of the first piston;
- a housing sized to be held in a hand of a user;
- a barrel mounted within an interior of the housing including a second chamber including a second piston movable between a retracted position and a discharge position adjacent a second port, the second piston biased to move towards the discharge position of the second piston;
- a diverter mounted within the interior of the housing adjacent the barrel and communicating with the first port and the second port, the diverter comprising a second actuator for opening one of a first flow path communicating between the first port and the second port or a second flow path communicating between the first port and an outlet of the diverter;
- and
- a mixing component communicating with the first flow path for mixing the flowable embolic material as the flowable embolic material flows between the first chamber and the second chamber,
- wherein the mixing component includes an elongate member mounted within the interior of the housing, the elongate member comprising a proximal end and a distal end and a lumen housing a series of static mixing elements that mixes the flowable embolic material as the flowable embolic material flows between the first chamber and the second chamber.
