Claims22
A seal for a Tuohy-Borst adapter, comprising a dynamic radial seal.
A Tuohy-Borst adapter, comprising:
- a main valve body comprising an inner luminal wall extending from a distal opening to a proximal opening, and defining a lumen;
- a dynamic radial seal mountingly received by a seat of the main valve body, the dynamic radial seal having:
- a base flange;
- and
- a plurality of pliable occlusive elements radiating inward from the base flange, and arranged in a regular pattern relative to each other, wherein each of the pliable occlusive elements contacts a plurality of other occlusive elements;
- a sidearm in fluid communication with the lumen and equipped with a three-way stopcock configured to switch fluid communication between the lumen and one of two alternate fluid paths, wherein a confluence joins the sidearm and lumen in fluid communication;
- and
- a pressure transducer protruding through an opening into a lumen of the sidearm, the pressure transducer being isolatable from fluid communication with the lumen by switching the three-way stopcock.
