Patent number: 9468461Abstract: The present disclosure relates to catheterization systems and components thereof. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a catheterization system is disclosed that includes a catheter including a body with proximal and distal ends and defining first and second lumens extending therethrough, and a stylet. The stylet includes first and second stylet portions each having proximal and distal end regions, wherein the distal end regions of the first and second stylet portions together define a tapered penetrating portion. The first and second stylet portions are configured and dimensioned to be slidably positioned within the first and second lumens of the catheter, respectively. The first and second stylet portions extend from the proximal end of the catheter and beyond the distal end of the catheter, and are independently movable in relation to each other to facilitate selective removal of the first stylet portion and/or the second stylet portion from the catheter.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2013Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Marc Bellisario, Mark Lotito, Kurt E. Green, Geoffrey McElroy

Publication number: 20100168718Abstract: An extension tube assembly for fluidly connecting a catheter assembly to a hemodialysis machine includes an extension tube member and a coupling mechanism. The extension tube member includes first and second extension segments. The first extension segment is adapted for connection to a catheter hub and defining a first lumen. The second extension segment is adapted for fluid connection to a hemodialysis machine and defining a second lumen. The coupling mechanism is adapted to connect the first and second extension segments to establish fluid communication between the first and second lumens. The coupling mechanism includes a first coupling mounted on a distal end of the first extension segment and a second coupling mounted on a proximal end of the second extension segment. The first and second couplings cooperate to provide a releasable connection therebetween to permit selective connection and disconnection of the first and second extension segments.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2009Publication date: July 1, 2010Applicant: Tyco Healthcare Group LPInventors: Marc Bellisario, Mark Lotito

Patent number: 7090654Abstract: A catheter is provided that includes an elongated tubular body extending to a distal end. The tubular body has a first and a second lumen with a septum disposed therebetween. The tubular body includes a first wall that defines the first lumen and a second wall that defines the second lumen. A portion of the septum extends distally beyond the first lumen and the second lumen. The first wall includes a first wall extension that extends distally beyond the first lumen and is spaced apart from the portion of the septum. The first wall extension defines a concave surface facing the portion of the septum. Alternatively, the septum has a septum extension that extends distally beyond the first lumen and the second lumen. In alternate embodiment, the septum extension defines a first planar surface and an opposing second planar surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2003Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Sherwood Services AGInventors: Mark Lotito, Anthony Trupiano, Michael Sansoucy, Kurt Haggstrom
