  • Publication number: 20220362519
    Abstract: A catheter may include a tubular member having a lumen and an outer surface, a sleeve configured to be positioned in the lumen in a retracted configuration and to evert over at least a portion of the outer surface in an everted configuration, and a filament configured to retract the sleeve into the retracted configuration. The catheter may include an aperture proximal of a distal end, where the filament extends through the aperture from the lumen. A pull member may be on a distal end of the filament. The filament may be looped, coiled, and/or bunched in the catheter when the sleeve is in the retracted configuration. A shuttle may be attached to a distal end of the sleeve, where the shuttle includes a tubular member configured to maintain patency of the sleeve, and the filament engages the shuttle to retract the sleeve into the lumen.

  • Publication number: 20220110658
    Abstract: An apparatus operable to provide access to a sternal intraosseous space in a first mode of operation and operable to provide access to a peripheral intraosseous space in a second mode of operation. The apparatus includes a manual driver and a stabilizer. The manual driver has a handle, an inner penetrator hub, and an outer penetrator hub. The stabilizer has a housing, an outer sleeve coupled to the housing and configured to move from an extended position to a retracted position in the first mode of operation, and a protective shield coupled to the stabilizer housing and configured to move from an exposed position to a shielded position in the first mode of operation. The manual driver is securely engaged to the stabilizer in the first mode of operation, and the manual driver is detached from the stabilizer in the second mode of operation.

  • Publication number: 20220110642
    Abstract: An intraosseous access device for accessing an intraosseous space of a patient includes a manual driver and a sternal locator. The handle is connected to an inner penetrator hub, and an inner penetrator extends from the inner penetrator hub. An outer penetrator hub is releasably engaged to the inner penetrator hub. A protective cover is slidably coupled to the handle. The protective cover is operable to move from an extended position where the inner penetrator is covered, to a retracted position where the inner penetrator is exposed. The sternal locator includes a base; a collar extending from a first surface of the base for securing the intraosseous access device to restrict longitudinal separation of the intraosseous access device from the locator. The locator may be removed from the patient while the outer penetrator remains inserted in an intraosseous space of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20220104849
    Abstract: An intraosseous access device is operable to provide access to a sternal intraosseous space in a first mode of operation and operable to provide access to a peripheral intraosseous space in a second mode of operation. The device includes an outer sleeve, an inner penetrator hub, and an outer penetrator hub. A protective shield is telescopically coupled to the outer sleeve. The protective shield is operable to move from an expanded position to a retracted position in both the first and second modes of operation. A bone probe ring is disposed within the protective shield and configured to move between an extended position and a retracted position in both the first and second modes of operation. An actuator is operable to manually move the protective shield and the bone probe ring to the retracted position when in the second mode of operation.

  • Publication number: 20220072276
    Abstract: A catheter assembly may include a catheter member having a proximal portion and an outer surface; an introducer having a lumen configured to receive the proximal portion of the catheter member; and a sleeve having a compressed portion housed in the lumen of the introducer, the sleeve being configured to evert over the outer surface as the catheter member is inserted through the lumen of the introducer. The proximal portion of the catheter member may be configured to push a distal portion of the sleeve proximally, and the compressed portion of the sleeve may form a soft proximal tip of the catheter assembly as the catheter member exits a proximal opening of the introducer.

  • Publication number: 20210402146
    Abstract: A catheter (700) includes a tubular member (702) having a lumen and an outer surface, a sleeve (704) configured to be positioned in the lumen in a retracted configuration and to evert over at least a portion of the outer surface in an everted configuration, and a filament (700) configured to retract the sleeve (702) into the retracted configuration. The catheter includes an aperture (774) proximal of a distal end, where the filament (770) extends through the aperture (774) from the lumen. A pull member (772) may be on a distal end of the filament (770). The filament (770) may be looped, coiled, and/or bunched in the catheter (700) when the sleeve (704) is in the retracted configuration. A shuttle (718) may be attached to a distal end of the sleeve (704), where the shuttle (718) includes a tubular member configured to maintain patency of the sleeve (704), and the filament (770) engages the shuttle (718) to retract the sleeve (704) into the lumen.

  • Publication number: 20210330337
    Abstract: Manually driven intraosseous devices and associated methods are disclosed. The intraosseous device includes a housing and a transmission at least partially disposed within the housing. The transmission includes a first portion and a second portion. The second portion includes a manual actuator that is at least partially disposed outside of the housing. The intraosseous device also includes a penetrator assembly releasably connected to the first portion of the transmission. The transmission is configured to transmit a force, which is applied manually to the manual actuator, to the penetrator assembly to rotate the penetrator assembly relative to the housing and to drive the penetrator assembly through a bone into an intraosseous space. The manual actuator is a hand crank that is configured to be manually cranked by an operator to transfer rotational force to the first portion of the transmission.
