  • Publication number: 20230125293
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for controlled arterial/venous access are provided. The apparatus and methods may include a lumen anastomosed to a bodily lumen. A lumen clamping means may utilize a clamp manipulator to effectively seal the tubing, and the manipulator may be operated by two fingers. A needle receptor may be utilized, and the receptor may utilize a compressible member to seal tightly against a needle inserted from outside the body, in order ensure secure placement into a channel. The channel may be in liquid communication with the tubing. The manipulator and the needle receptor may be palpable from outside the body.

  • Patent number: 10105479
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for hydraulically controlled arterial/venous access are provided. The apparatus and methods may include tubing anastomized to a conduit. A clamp may be positioned over the tubing. The clamp may seal the tubing. The clamp may be configured to unseal the tubing. The clamp may be positioned to seal the tubing such that outer walls of the tubing are compressed flush with each other. The tubing may include an inner lumen and an outer lumen. The outer lumen may terminate in a balloon. The inner lumen may include a compressible portion near the anastomosis site. The inner lumen may include a non-compressible portion. The balloon may encircle at least part of the non-compressible portion. A reservoir may be configured to control an opening or closing of the clamp. When the inner lumen is open, fluid may flow from the conduit to the reservoir.
