Abstract
A system for treating internal bleeding via application of a heated irrigant, such that the heated irrigant is delivered at a flow rate of between 2 cc/s and 12 cc/s and at a temperature of between 46 degrees Celsius and 52 degrees Celsius.
Claims11
A system for treating internal bleeding, comprising:
- a reservoir configured to hold an irrigant;
- a first impeller disposed within the reservoir, and configured to recirculate the irrigant within the reservoir;
- a second impeller disposed within the reservoir and configured to motivate the irrigant from the reservoir;
- a motor that simultaneously spins both the first impeller and the second impeller;
- a heating element configured to heat the irrigant to generate a heated irrigant as the irrigant flows through and recirculates within the reservoir, wherein the heated irrigant is configured to arrest the internal bleeding upon delivery of the heated irrigant to a treatment area;
- and
- a treatment catheter configured to receive the heated irrigant from the reservoir, the treatment catheter having an irrigant outlet and an irrigant inlet located at a distal portion of a catheter body of the treatment catheter, wherein the irrigant outlet is located farther distally on the catheter body than the irrigant inlet;
- wherein the system is configured to deliver the heated irrigant from the irrigant outlet to the treatment area where there is the internal bleeding such that the heated irrigant is delivered at a flow rate of between 2 cc/s and 12 cc/s and a temperature of between 46 degrees Celsius and 52 degrees Celsius.

A system for treating internal bleeding, comprising:
- a treatment catheter having an irrigant outlet and an irrigant inlet located at a distal portion of a catheter body of the treatment catheter, wherein the irrigant outlet is located farther distally on the catheter body than the irrigant inlet;
- and
- a heating apparatus connected the treatment catheter, wherein the heating apparatus includes:
- a reservoir configured to hold an irrigant;
- a first impeller disposed within the reservoir and configured to recirculate the irrigant within the reservoir;
- a second impeller disposed within the reservoir and configured to motivate the irrigant from the reservoir into the treatment catheter;
- a motor that simultaneously spins both the first impeller and the second impeller;
- and
- a heating element configured to heat the irrigant to a temperature suitable to arrest the internal bleeding as the irrigant flows through the heating element to the treatment catheter;
- wherein the system is configured to deliver heated irrigant from the irrigant outlet to a treatment area where there is the internal bleeding such that the heated irrigant is delivered at a flow rate of between 2 cc/s and 12 cc/s and at a temperature of between 46 degrees Celsius and 52 degrees Celsius.
