Abstract
An intravascular device comprises an inflatable member, a non-porous membrane and a lumen. The inflatable member defines a conduit therein and the inflatable member is moveable about and between a first deflated position, an extended position, and a second deflated position. The non-porous membrane is connected the inflatable member. The lumen has a proximal end portion and a spaced distal end portion, wherein the distal end portion is in fluid communication with the conduit of the inflatable member.
Claims23
An intravascular device comprising:
- an inflatable member having an exterior surface and defining a central opening, the exterior surface having an upper portion and an opposed lower portion, the central opening having an inner edge surface that extends about a periphery of the central opening, the inflatable member further defining a conduit therein, and wherein the inflatable member is moveable about and between a first deflated position, an extended position, and a second deflated position;
- a non-porous membrane having an upper surface, an opposed lower surface, and a peripherally extending edge that is connected to at least a portion of the inner edge surface of the inflatable member intermediate the upper and lower portions of the exterior surface of the inflatable member;
- and
- a lumen having a proximal end portion and a spaced distal end portion, wherein the distal end portion is in fluid communication with the conduit of the inflatable member.
The intravascular device of claim 13, wherein each distal end portion is connected to the upper surface of the non-porous membrane and wherein each distal end portion extends radially from a substantially central position on the upper surface of the non-porous membrane towards the inner edge surface of the inflatable member.
An intravascular device comprising:
- an inflatable member defining a central opening having an inner edge surface that extends about a periphery of the central opening, the inflatable member further defining a contiguous conduit therein;
- a non-porous membrane having a peripherally extending edge that is connected to at least a portion of the inner edge surface of the inflatable member;
- and
- a lumen having a distal end portion in fluid communication with the conduit of the inflatable member, the lumen is in selective fluid communication with a source of pressurized fluid,
- wherein the inflatable member is moveable about and between a first deflated position, an extended position, and a second deflated position.
