Abstract
A catheter occlusion device includes a support body configured to enclose a portion of the catheter and an inflatable member coupled to the support body. The inflatable member is in fluid communication with an inflation line. The inflatable member is configured to transition between a deflated state and an inflated state to collapse the portion of the catheter enclosed in the support body. A surface of the inflatable member can include an adhesive configured to adhere to an outer surface of the catheter. The inflatable member can include opposing first and second chambers configured to inflate toward one another to collapse the portion of the catheter enclosed in the support body.
