Abstract: The instant invention provides an apparatus, a kit and a method for treating a tumor in an extremity of a patient.

Abstract: The instant invention provides a novel double balloon catheter which includes a first fixed balloon on the cranial end of the catheter; a second slidable balloon positioned around the catheter and spaced from the first fixed balloon; and, structure for enabling the second balloon to slide along the plastic tube between a first position defining a minimum distance between the first balloon and the second balloon, and a second position defining a maximum distance between the first balloon and the second balloon. The invention also contemplates a novel method of using the catheter.

Abstract: An arrangement for controlling the flow of blood between the annulus between a catheter and an elastomeric tube which encases it is provided. The arrangement also controls the ease of lateral movement of the catheter in relationship to the elastomeric tube. The arrangement includes a substantially rigid telescoping tube for supporting the elastomeric tube therewithin. The rigid telescoping tube further includes an inner tube having a pin disposed on the outer circumference thereof; and an outer tube having an opening therein forming a slot, and a plurality of substantially equally spaced stops; a first clamping arrangement for fixing one end of the elastomeric tube to the end of the outer tube furthest from the inner tube; and, a second clamping arrangement for fixing the other end of the elastomeric tube to the end of the inner tube furthest from the outer tube.

Abstract: The instant invention provides a novel apparatus, kit and process for isolating a flow circuit within the pelvic cavity of a patient for perfusing a high concentration of a chemotherapeutic agent therethrough, without contaminating the blood circulating in the substantial remainder of the patient's blood circulatory system with the agent.
