  • Bolus tip design for a multi-lumen catheter
    Patent number: 7938795
    Abstract: A method of making a multi-lumen catheter includes forming a catheter body including a first lumen and a second lumen, and forming a catheter tip having a first channel terminating distally in a first opening on a first side of the catheter tip, and a second channel terminating distally in a second opening on a second side of the catheter tip opposite of the first side. The first and second openings of the catheter tip extend through an outer wall of the catheter tip to a dividing section. The catheter tip is affixed to the catheter body such that the first channel is aligned with the first lumen and the second channel is aligned with the second lumen.

  • Bolus tip design for a multi-lumen catheter
    Patent number: 7485107
    Abstract: A bolus tip for a multi-lumen catheter includes a first channel terminating distally in a first opening, and a second channel terminating distally in a second opening. The first opening may be positioned proximal the second opening along a longitudinal axis of the bolus tip and may be positioned on a side of the bolus tip opposite that of the second opening. The first and second openings may extend through an outer wall of the bolus tip to a dividing section. The bolus tip may also include a third channel sized for accommodating a guidewire.

  • Bolus tip design for a multi-lumen catheter
    Patent number: 6786884
    Abstract: An improved bolus tip design for use in a multi-lumen catheter for the simultaneous injection and withdrawal of fluids to and from a patient. The improved bolus tip has a rounded elongate body consisting of an interfacing section and a nose section. A first channel opens to a first bolus cavity, which is formed into the bolus tip, and a second channel either extends through the nose section of the bolus tip, forming an outlet therefrom, or terminates at a second bolus cavity similar to the first bolus cavity. In the latter configuration, the second bolus cavity is located longitudinally between the fist bolus cavity and a tip of the nose section on a side directly opposite the first bolus cavity. The second bolus cavity is in fluid communication with the second channel.
