  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOW PROFILE OCCLUSION BALLOON CATHETER
    Publication number: 20210290243
    Abstract: An occlusion catheter system for full or partial occlusion of a vessel having a vessel diameter includes a proximal catheter shaft having a proximal lumen and a hypotube positioned partially within the proximal lumen and spaced from the proximal catheter shaft. The catheter system also includes a distal catheter shaft attached to a distal end of the hypotube and an occlusion balloon connected at a proximal end to the proximal catheter shaft and at a distal end to the distal catheter shaft. The occlusion balloon is configured to define flow channels with inner surfaces of the vessel at folds in the occlusion balloon when the occlusion balloon is partially inflated and in engagement with the inner surfaces.

  • Body model for temporary hemorrhage control training and simulation
    Patent number: 10885813
    Abstract: A body model system for temporary hemorrhage control training and simulation includes a frame simulating at least a torso of the body having a hollow portion, a simulated artery positioned in the hollow portion, a thigh patch mounted to the frame proximate the hollow portion, a pump connected in fluid communication with the simulated artery and a reservoir connected in fluid communication with the simulated artery and the pump. The frame is substantially rigid. The thigh patch is constructed of a resilient material that is pierceable by a needle. The simulated artery extends through the thigh patch. The pump is configured to produce a pulsatile flow in the simulated artery.
