Endoscope apparatus

In an endoscope apparatus, an air / water switch (15) that is provided in an operating section (9) of an endoscope (5) each generate an air feed on / off signal and a suction on / off signal, and air feed flow and suction flow signals that are responsive to the amount of depression of each of the switches, these signals being sent to a signal processing circuit (33). The signal processing circuit (33) controls a air / water feed control valve 40 and a suction force control valve 50, so as to control air / water feed flow and suction flow, a flow display being made by an indicator (65) on the screen (63) of a TV monitor (35).

Cannula that provides bi-directional fluid flow that is regulated by a single valve

A cannula useful for endoscopic surgery. The cannula includes an outer tube in which an inner tube is removably seated. A surgical instrument can be positioned at the surgical site through the inner tube and irrigation fluid can be flowed to the surgical site through the inner tube. The tubes are spaced from each other to form a channel through which fluid can be selectively withdrawn from the surgical site. Fluid flow to and from the surgical site through the cannula is controlled by a valve assembly that has a single valve cock. The valve cock can be positioned to allow maximum irrigation flow / no suction flow or no irrigation flow / maximum suction flow. Bores internal to the valve cock are shaped so that, while the suction flow is initially incrementally increased, the irrigation flow is at a constant level.

Embolization protection system for vascular procedures

Apparatus and methods are described for effective removal of emboli or harmful fluids during vascular procedures, such as angiography, balloon angioplasty, stent deployment, laser angioplasty, atherectomy, intravascular ultrasonography and other therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. A catheter with an occluder mounted at its distal end creates an occlusion proximal to the lesion. The catheter provides a pathway for introducing a treatment catheter. Prior to, during or subsequent to the procedure, suction is activated to establish retrograde flow to remove emboli from the site. Additionally, a thin catheter with a distal fluid ejection nozzle maybe introduced distal to the treatment site to rinse emboli from the treatment site. The suction flow and / or ejected fluid flow may be varied in a pulsatile manner to simulate regular blood flow and / or perturb settled emboli into being captured that may otherwise not be collected. The method establishes a protective environment before any devices enter the site to be treated.

Bidirectional valved aspirator for surge control and vacuum generation

An aspirator coupled between an inlet of a compressor and an engine intake manifold may include sonic / supersonic expansion curves for both forward and reverse flow through the aspirator. Suction flow may enter a first entraining port coupling an ambient side of the aspirator with a vacuum source during reverse flow through the aspirator, whereas suction flow may enter a second entraining port coupling a manifold side of the aspirator with the vacuum source, the first entraining port counter sunk relative to a nominal slope of the aspirator to reduce flow disruption caused by the port during forward flow through the aspirator. A radial-flow aspirator shut-off valve arranged in series with the aspirator may be controlled to enable or disable motive flow through the aspirator, and motive flow may enter the valve in a direction perpendicular to a motive flow axis of the aspirator when the valve is open.

Catheter systems for applying effective suction in remote vessels and thrombectomy procedures facilitated by catheter systems

A suction catheter system is described with a suction nozzle that can extend from a guide catheter of the like. The suction nozzle can be positioned by tracking the suction nozzle through a vessel while moving a proximal portion of the suction extension within the lumen of the guide catheter. A suction lumen extends from the proximal end of the guide catheter through at least part of the guide catheter central lumen and through the suction tip. Desirable suction flow can be established using the guide lumen to facilitate the suction. Also, a delivery catheter is described with an elastic tip that can track closely over a guidewire. The elastic tip of the delivery catheter can be expanded to provide for the delivery of medical devices past the tip.
