Publication number: 20140207086Abstract: A low-profile access port for subcutaneous implantation within the body of a patient is disclosed. The access port includes a receiving cup that provides a relatively large subcutaneous target to enable a catheter-bearing needle to access the port without difficulty. In addition, the access port includes a valve/seal assembly to permit pressurized fluid injection through the port while preventing backflow. In one embodiment, therefore, a low-profile access port comprises a body including a conduit with an inlet port at a proximal end thereof, and a receiving cup. The receiving cup is concavely shaped to direct a catheter-bearing needle into the conduit via the inlet port. The receiving cup is oriented substantially toward a skin surface when subcutaneously implanted within the patient to ease needle impingement thereon. A valve/seal assembly disposed in the conduit enables passage of the catheter therethrough while preventing fluid backflow.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2014Publication date: July 24, 2014Inventors: Jason R. Stats, Bret Hamatake, Dwight T. Hibdon, Kelly J. Christian, Amir Orome, Scott W. Snyder

Publication number: 20130245434Abstract: An integrated catheter placement system for accurately placing a catheter within a patient's vasculature is disclosed. In one embodiment, the integrated system comprises a system console, a tip location sensor for temporary placement on the patient's chest, and an ultrasound probe. The tip location sensor senses a magnetic field of a stylet disposed in a lumen of the catheter when the catheter is disposed in the vasculature. The ultrasound probe ultrasonically images a portion of the vasculature prior to intravascular introduction of the catheter. The ultrasound probe includes user input controls for controlling use of the ultrasound probe in an ultrasound mode and use of the tip location sensor in a tip location mode. In another embodiment, ECG signal-based catheter tip guidance is included in the integrated system to enable guidance of the catheter tip to a desired position with respect to a node of the patient's heart.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2013Publication date: September 19, 2013Applicant: C. R. BARD, INC.Inventors: Shayne Messerly, Jeremy B. Cox, Anthony K. Misener, Catherine C. Breiter, Ryan R. Lemon, Christian W. Crook, Matthew W. Bown, Eddie K. Burnside, Kelly J.

Publication number: 20120330159Abstract: A needle guide assembly for inserting a needle into the body of a patient in order to access a subcutaneous target, such as a vessel, is disclosed. In one embodiment, the needle guide assembly comprises a needle guide body that is configured to at least indirectly and removably attach to an image producing device, such as an ultrasound probe. The needle guide body defines at least first and second elongate guide channels. Each guide channel defines a unique insertion angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the ultrasound probe. Further, each guide channel is configured to accept needles of differing gauges. In other embodiments other needle guide assemblies are disclosed that include multiple guide channels for inserting a needle at a variety of insertion angles into the patient's body. Related methods are also disclosed. In yet other embodiments, needle guide assemblies including needle stop features are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2012Publication date: December 27, 2012Inventors: Amir Orome, Matthew W. Bown, Richard P. Jenkins, William R. Barron, Bryson G. Wilkes, Eric W. Lindekugel, Jeffrey J. Flint, Charles Farnworth, Alisha M. Hammond

Patent number: 8323227Abstract: Multi-lumen catheters with improved tip configurations, including a triple-lumen catheter which may be useful for apheresis. In one variation, the catheter has three lumens with distal openings angularly spaced apart and staggered axially with respect to one another. In another variation, the catheter has two lumens exiting distally and one centrally positioned lumen exiting proximally. A third variation is a catheter with a single distal opening and two proximal openings. The staggered lumen openings along the axial length of the catheter may decrease recirculation while maximizing flow rates.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2004Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: C.

Publication number: 20120302969Abstract: An access port for providing subcutaneous access to a patient is disclosed. In one embodiment, the port includes an internal body defining a fluid cavity that is accessible via a septum. A compliant outer cover including silicone is disposed about at least a portion of the body. A flange is included with the port body and is covered by the outer cover. The flange radially extends about a perimeter of the port body proximate the septum so as to impede penetration of a needle substantially into the outer cover in instances where the needle misses the septum. The flange can further include both an anchoring feature for securing the outer cover to the port body and an identification feature observable via x-ray imaging technology for conveying information indicative of at least one attribute of the access port. The outer cover provides a suitable surface for application of an antimicrobial/antithrombotic coating.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2012Publication date: November 29, 2012Applicant: C. R. Bard, Inc.Inventors: Martha Wiley, Jodie L. Noyce, David M. Cise, William R. Barron, Kelly J. Christian, Amir Orome

Publication number: 20120238959Abstract: A catheter and internal bolster for securing the catheter or other medical device within a body of a patient. In one embodiment, the catheter comprises an elongate catheter tube that defines at least one lumen and an internal bolster disposed proximate a distal end of the catheter tube. The internal bolster includes a plurality of hinged arms and is capable of an undeployed position wherein each arm is longitudinally extended substantially parallel to the catheter tube, and a deployed position wherein each arm is folded about its hinge so as to radially extend from the catheter tube and provide a bolster configuration. The internal bolster further includes a resilient portion included with the catheter tube and disposed centrally with respect to the internal bolster. The resilient portion provides a force urging the internal bolster to the deployed position. In one possible implementation, the catheter is configured as a feeding tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2012Publication date: September 20, 2012Applicant: C.R. Bard, Inc.Inventors: David L.
