  • Fluid jet arterial surgical device
    Patent number: 10779851
    Abstract: A catheter mounted arterial surgical tool has a body with a fluid jet prong extending from a distal end of the body along a prong axis that is parallel to and laterally offset from a body axis. A fluid passage extends through the fluid jet prong to an outlet that points laterally relative to the prong axis. A deflector anvil extends from the distal end of the body along a deflector axis that is parallel to and offset from the body axis. The deflector anvil has a face that faces toward the fluid jet prong and is impinged by a fluid jet discharged from the outlet. A pair of guide wire holes extend from the proximal to the distal end of the body parallel to the body axis for receiving guide wires to enable the body to slide along the guide wires.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 22, 2020
    Assignee: Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska
