Abstract
A thoracic vent kit has a reservoir and an introducing port and a catheter port. A removable cannula is small enough to fit in the catheter, but has an internal diameter that can accommodate a flexible guide wire. The cannula has a beveled tip and a luer threaded cap at the opposite end. A removable plug has a chamfer that can be used to seal the luer passage.
Claims15
A medical vent kit comprising:
- a manifold with an introducing port, a catheter port, a linear passage extending from the introducing port to the catheter port, a second passage extending from an intersection on the linear passage to an evacuation port;
- a fluid path extending from the catheter port and through a portion of the linear passage and through the second passage;
- and a seal on the linear passage between the intersection and the introducing port;
- a catheter connected to the catheter port;
- a reservoir connected to the evacuation port;
- a one-way valve connected to the evacuation port;
- and
- a removable cannula with a grip at a proximal end, the cannula having an internal diameter of at least about ½ mm, and an external diameter that is no greater than the diameter of the linear passage and no greater than the internal diameter of the catheter;
- and
- a removable plug that has (1) a shaft with a chamfer that has a maximum diameter that is greater than the diameter of the linear passage between the intersection and the catheter port, and a terminal dimension that is less than that diameter of the linear passage, and (2) connecting means for connecting the plug to the introducing port while the chamfer seals the air path.
