Abstract
A wire station is disclosed for securing and managing multiple wire members used in a catheter system. The wire management system includes means for securing the proximal portion of two wire members in a spatially separate arrangement. The wire station of the present invention additionally provides a physician with the flexibility of either directly attaching the wire station of the present invention to the catheter system directly, or positioning the wire station at a remote location.
Claims20
A medical device comprising:
- a first wire;
- a second wire;
- a catheter, the catheter defining at least one wire lumen for passage of the first wire therethrough, and the second wire therethrough, the catheter having a proximal end region and a distal end region, the proximal end region comprising a manifold,
- the manifold defining at least one port, the at least one port being in communication with the at least one wire lumen;
- a wire station system, the wire station system comprising a base platform and a manifold engagement mechanism, the manifold engagement mechanism constructed and arranged to removably engage the base platform to an engagement region of the manifold, the base platform having a wire management system,
- the wire management system being actuatable between a first and a second position, in the first position each wire being moveable along a longitudinal axis, in the second position at least one of the wires being fixedly engaged to the wire management system.
