  • Electrically charged medical device
    Patent number: 9381102
    Abstract: A medical device with an outer surface prepared to reduce crystalline growth or surface fowling thereon is provided. The device includes an elongate member that extends between a distal end and a proximal end, and a lumen defined through at least a central portion of the member. The member is defined from a wire that is coiled to define the lumen therethrough, the coils of the wire are configured such that a plurality of the neighboring coils define a small space therebetween. The coiled wire includes a central metallic core that extends along the entire length of the wire defining the member and a polymeric jacket is wrapped around the core, wherein the polymeric jacket is configured to retain an electric charge disposed therethrough.
    Type: Grant
