  • Patent number: 10322052
    Abstract: In one example, an apparatus for positioning a patient's forearm during a medical procedure has a main panel portion, an extended panel portion and a base panel portion. The main panel portion has an inner surface and an outer surface, a first longitudinal side edge, a second longitudinal side edge, a first latitudinal side edge and a second latitudinal side edge. The extended panel portion has panel portion having a proximal end edge and a distal end edge, and an inner surface, wherein said distal end edge forms an angled configuration with said main panel portion for positioning the patient's left forearm and wrist suitably for receiving an arterial catheter. The base panel portion has a first longitudinal side edge and a second longitudinal side edge, wherein said first longitudinal side edge of said base panel portion extends generally perpendicularly outward from said second longitudinal side edge of said main panel portion.

  • Publication number: 20050038468
    Abstract: A medical catheter having an elongate body, a first expandable balloon and a filter assembly. The filter assembly includes an expandable filter having a first portion coupled to a portion of the medical catheter and a second portion positioned around at least a portion of the first expandable balloon to form a channel between the filter assembly and the first expandable balloon. The filter assembly can further include struts coupled to the second portion of the expandable filter, where the struts tether the second portion of the expandable filter to the elongate body adjacent the proximal end of the first expandable balloon. The first expandable balloon can be used in procedures to dilate blood vessels, including those that deploy stents, where the expandable filter assembly captures particles, including embolic particles, from the blood during the procedure.
