Publication number: 20160114129Abstract: A hub for a single lumen or multi-lumen catheter is disclosed. In certain embodiments, the hub features integrated luers, and does not require the use of extension tubes or extension tube clamps. The hub has an actuating mechanism for closing fluid access to catheter lumens. In certain embodiments, the hub has a proximal and distal housing, and the proximal housing can be rotated, pulled or pushed relative to the distal housing for actuating the mechanism. In certain embodiments, the hub includes a valve, such as an iris valve, for opening and closing fluid access to lumens, or for regulating fluid flow rates through lumens. In certain embodiments, a switching element is used to open and close fluid access to hub lumens.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2015Publication date: April 28, 2016Applicant: AngioDynamics, Inc.Inventor: Carol L. Lancette

Publication number: 20140128848Abstract: A vascular access catheter is disclosed that has a leading guidewire lumen. The guidewire lumen is configured for receiving a guidewire and may extend a partial length of the catheter or substantially the entire length of the catheter. A lumen of the catheter can have an opening located in an angled edge distal end portion of the catheter next to the distal tip. A second lumen can have an opening that is positioned in the outer surface of the catheter shaft, and is spaced proximally from the first lumen opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2014Publication date: May 8, 2014Applicant: ANGIODYNAMICS, INC.Inventors: William M. Appling, Theodore Beyer, Carol L. Lancette

Patent number: 8317773Abstract: A vascular access catheter is disclosed that has a catheter shaft with a distal end portion with a distal tip having a sloped face that is positioned at an acute angle from the distal tip relative to a longitudinal axis of the catheter shaft. A first, second, and third lumen extend longitudinally through the catheter shaft. The third lumen is configured for receiving a guidewire and may extend a partial length of the catheter or substantially the entire length of the catheter. The first lumen has an aperture located in the angled edge distal end portion of the catheter next to the distal tip and communicates with the first lumen. The second lumen has an aperture that is positioned in the outer surface of the catheter shaft that is in communication with the second lumen, and is spaced proximally from the first lumen aperture.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2006Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Angio Dynamics, Inc.Inventors: William M. Appling, Theodore J. Beyer, Carol L. Lancette

Publication number: 20090306606Abstract: A vascular access catheter having a catheter hub assembly and a catheter shaft having a plurality of lumens is disclosed. The hub assembly has a body with an interior cavity and an exterior surface with a plurality of openings that are configured to receive the catheter shaft and a plurality of extension tubes, which are fluidly connected to lumens of the catheter shaft. A vascular access port having a housing, at least one reservoir and a self-sealing septum having an outer surface, is positioned partially therein the interior cavity of the body. A portion of the housing defines a reservoir outlet stem that is in fluid communication with the reservoir. At least a portion of the outer surface of the septum is defined therein a port opening that is defined therein the body and is circumferentially surrounded by portions of the exterior surface of the hub body.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2008Publication date: December 10, 2009Applicant: AngioDynamics, IncInventors: Carol L.

Publication number: 20090157051Abstract: A vascular access catheter that has a substantially distal end portion that has a distal tip. The distal end portion has a sloped face in the distal portion of the catheter, an outflow lumen aperture, and a second inflow lumen aperture. The outflow lumen aperture is substantially completely open in the sloped face and exits the distal portion adjacent the distal tip. The catheter has a guidewire lumen that is located at least in the region of the distal portion of the catheter and is capable of receiving a guidewire. The guidewire lumen has a proximal aperture and a distal aperture that extends distally of the outflow lumen aperture. The guidewire distal aperture exits at the distal most edge of the distal end portion. The guidewire lumen may extend a partial length of the catheter or substantially the entire length of the catheter. The catheter distal portion may be substantially straight or curved.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2009Publication date: June 18, 2009Inventors: William M. Appling, Theodore J. Beyer, Carol L.
