Thrombectomy catheter

A thrombectomy catheter comprising:

• a catheter body extending from a catheter proximal portion to a catheter distal portion;
• an aspiration lumen extending through the catheter body from the catheter proximal portion toward the catheter distal portion, the aspiration lumen including an aspiration orifice near the catheter distal portion, wherein the distal end of the catheter body includes an aspiration orifice distal member including a proximal portion extending from the distal end of the catheter body having an opening sized similar to the aspiration lumen and a distal portion having an opening wider than the aspiration lumen;
• and
• an infusion lumen extending along the catheter body towards the distal portion and having a single infusion orifice located in a side wall of the catheter body that is configured to direct a fluid jet radially away from a longitudinal axis of the catheter body.

A thrombectomy catheter comprising:

• a catheter body extending from a catheter proximal portion to a catheter distal portion and including a catheter intermediate portion, the catheter body including an aspiration lumen and an infusion lumen extending along the catheter body, the catheter body having an integral homogenous cross-section profile and having a multi-durometer hardness varying along the catheter body's length such that the catheter proximal portion has a relatively high durometer value and the catheter distal portion has a relatively low durometer value, with respect to each other;
• wherein the aspiration lumen extends through the catheter body from the catheter proximal portion toward the catheter distal portion, the aspiration lumen including an aspiration orifice open at a distal end of the catheter body, wherein the distal end of the catheter body includes an aspiration orifice distal member including a proximal portion extending from the distal end of the catheter body a distal portion, wherein the distal portion has a greater cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional area of the proximal portion;
• and
• wherein the infusion lumen extends along the catheter body towards the distal portion with an infusion orifice extending through the catheter body to direct a fluid jet away from the catheter body.

A thrombectomy system comprising:

• a fluid delivery device;
• an aspirator;
• and
• a thrombectomy catheter with a first port coupled to the fluid delivery device and a second port coupled to the aspirator, wherein the thrombectomy catheter includes:
• a catheter body extending from a catheter proximal portion to a catheter distal portion and including a catheter intermediate portion, wherein the catheter proximal portion has a relatively high durometer value and the catheter distal portion has a relatively low durometer value, with respect to other;
• an aspiration lumen extending through the catheter body from the catheter proximal portion toward the catheter distal portion, the aspiration lumen including an aspiration orifice open at a distal end of the catheter body, wherein the distal end of the catheter body includes an aspiration orifice distal member including a proximal portion extending from the distal end of the catheter body having an opening sized similar to the aspiration lumen and a distal portion having an opening wider than the aspiration lumen;
• the catheter body further including an infusion lumen extending along the catheter body towards the distal portion with an infusion orifice extending through the catheter body to direct a fluid jet away from the catheter body.

A thrombectomy catheter comprising:

• a catheter body including an aspiration lumen extending though the catheter body and open at an aspiration orifice;
• an infusion body including a fluid delivery lumen extending to an infusion orifice, the infusion body extending through the aspiration lumen;
• and
• an expanded member coupled to a distal end of the infusion body and located distally from the infusion orifice.

An injector system comprising:

• a housing holding a high pressure pump, a low pressure pump, and an aspiration module;
• wherein a thrombectomy catheter is configured for coupling to the high pressure pump or the low pressure pump;
• the high pressure pump further comprising a single piston pump capable of delivering fluid at pressures of between 5000 psi to 10,000 psi;
• and
• the low pressure pump further comprising a multi-piston pump capable of delivering fluids at between 500 psi to 1500 psi.
