  • Patent number: 4623348
    Abstract: A device and method for the continued maintenance of percutaneous sinus tracts between medical catheterization procedures. The device comprises an outer tubular and inner cylindrical members designed to be used with a flexible catheter introduced surgically or with the aid of a trocar device. The method comprises the steps of initially introducing the catheter; sleeving the outer tubular member over the catheter until its outer portion rests against the newly formed sinus tract; completing the desired catheterization procedure; removing the catheter while leaving the outer tubular member in place along the sinus tract; sealing the sinus tract by introduction of the inner cylindrical member into the outer tubular member. As a result the integrity of the sinus tract is maintained for subsequent catheterizations. When a new catheterization is desired the inner cylindrical member is removed; the new catheter is introduced and the members of the invention replaced if subsequent catheterizations are desired.
