Abstract
A mobile infusion pump is used for the constant delivery of a fluid medium. The infusion pump comprises a balloon body for receiving the medium as well as a filling unit and a delivery unit that are in a fluid connection with the balloon body for filling the medium into the balloon body and delivering the medium from the balloon body to a patient. A throttling unit defines a delivery flow rate of the medium. By means of a plurality of continuous longitudinal ribs arranged on a part of the balloon body configured as a tube body, the expansion behavior of the balloon body is improved.
Claims18
A mobile infusion pump for the constant delivery of a fluid medium, the mobile infusion pump comprising:
- a balloon body for receiving the medium;
- a filling unit, which is in fluid connection with an internal volume of the balloon body, for filling the balloon body with the medium;
- and
- a delivery unit, which is in fluid connection with an internal volume of the balloon body, for delivering the medium from the balloon body, wherein the delivery unit is provided with a throttling unit for defining a delivery flow rate of the medium;
- and
- wherein a part of the balloon body comprises a tube body with a cross-sectional profile comprised of a plurality of continuous longitudinal ribs.
A mobile infusion pump for the constant delivery of a fluid medium, the mobile infusion pump comprising:
- a balloon comprised of a tubular body defining an internal volume, the tubular body of the balloon comprised of a plurality of generally longitudinally extending ribs;
- a filling unit in fluid flow communication with the balloon, the filling unit configured for filling at least part of the internal volume of the balloon with fluid medium;
- and
- a delivery unit comprised of a throttling unit in fluid flow communication with the balloon, the delivery unit configured for receiving fluid medium from the internal volume of the balloon and outputting the fluid medium at a delivery flow rate defined by the throttling unit.
