Abstract: A percutaneous catheter provides an adjustable diameter in order to reduce pressure loss, maintain a required flow, and avoid increasing a load to the patient. A catheter tube is formed of braided wires in an intersecting manner and extends in an axial direction. A distal tip is affixed to a distal side of the catheter tube and is configured to engaged a distal end of a dilator. The catheter tube includes a non-coated portion on a proximal side of the distal tip and a coated portion embedded in a resin material. An inner diameter of the non-coated portion is larger than an outer diameter of the dilator. When the dilator is fully inserted through the percutaneous catheter, the non-coated portion expands in the axial direction, reducing its in inner diameter so that an inner surface of the non-coated portion comes into tight contact with an outer surface of the dilator.

Abstract: A percutaneous catheter for an extracorporeal blood circulator has a tubular reinforcement body comprised of a plurality of wires braided in a reticulated manner. The braided wires include first wires wound in a first helical direction and second wires wound in a second helical direction crossing the first wires to define regular gap portions. A portion of the first and second wires are deviated from the helical directions to enlarge a selected gap portion into a first opening portion. A resin layer coats the reinforcement body and includes a second opening portion coincident with the first opening portion to form a side hole for fluid communication between an interior lumen and an exterior of the catheter. A continuous reinforcement is provided between longitudinal ends of the tubular reinforcement body including a longitudinal region of the side hole.

Abstract: A percutaneous catheter is disclosed through which blood passes. The percutaneous catheter having a catheter tube including a first tube and a second tube, the second tube being in fluid communication with the first tube, the first tube having an inner diameter greater than an inner diameter of the second tube, and wherein the first tube is more flexible than the second tube.
