  • DEVICE AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME FOR REMOVING A FLOWABLE MATERIAL CONTAINED WITHIN A VESSEL OR CAVITY
    Publication number: 20120273045
    Abstract: A device for removing a flowable material such as a fluid contained within a vessel or cavity includes a nozzle body having an outlet, a first side portion impermeable to the flowable material located distally from the outlet, a second side portion permeable to the flowable material located proximate to the outlet, the second side portion being in fluid communication with the outlet through the nozzle body, and negative pressure generating means operatively associated with the outlet for generating negative pressure at the second side portion of the nozzle body sufficient to draw the flowable material into the nozzle body without damaging or substantially disrupting the vessel or cavity. Methods of using the same are also disclosed.

  • Device for facilitating controlled transfer of flowable material to a site within an interior cavity or vessel, kits containing the same and methods of employing the same
    Publication number: 20110297240
    Abstract: A device for facilitating controlled transfer of a flowable material to a site within an interior cavity such as a vessel which employs a housing having at least one opening dimensioned and positioned to direct the flowable material rearwardly of the device. Through appropriate application of positive pressure, the device can be used to deliver the flowable material to the cavity or vessel. Apparatus employing the device and methods of using the same are also disclosed.
