A delivery assembly includes a console including a vial containment region and a vial engagement mechanism extending from the console within the vial containment region. The engagement mechanism is configured to engage a vial assembly. The delivery assembly further includes a sled assembly removably coupled to the console at the vial containment region and a safety shield removably coupled to the console over the vial containment region such that the vial engagement mechanism and the sled assembly are encapsulated within the safety shield when the safety shield is coupled thereto. The sled assembly, the vial assembly, and the safety shield are configured to inhibit radioactive emissions from within the vial containment region.

According to one implementation a central venous catheter is provided that includes an end emitting optical fiber that is configured to end emit bacterial disinfecting light to disinfect a conduit located inside the hub, the conduit connecting the working lumen of an infusion shaft with a working lumen of a main shaft.

Drainage tube for use in wound drainage, in particular in deep drainage, having a drainage lumen surrounded by a tube jacket and extending parallel to the tube axis, the tube jacket having at least one perforation which, starting at an outer boundary area of tube jacket, extends in a transverse direction, in particular approximately perpendicular to the tube axis, and opens out into the drainage lumen.

A sheath includes a sheath body, an inflow port at a proximal end of the sheath body, an outflow port at the proximal end of the sheath body, and a plurality of radially expandable flexible members which extend along a length of the sheath body. The plurality of radially expandable flexible members are attached to the sheath body at a plurality of anchor points along the length of the sheath body. The plurality of radially expandable flexible members expand during active fluid inflow. The radially expandable flexible members are spaced apart along the sheath body to define one or more isolated spaces that extend between adjacent radially expandable flexible members when the radially expandable flexible members are inflated within a body passage.

A wall of a catheter (a) includes a braided portion having an outer surface, an inner surface, and a braided interior between the outer and inner surfaces, and (b) is shaped to define first and second longitudinally-running channels therethrough. A distal portion of the catheter is shaped to define first and second lateral openings. An angle between (a) a first line running between the first and second lateral openings, and (b) a second line that is parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the catheter when the catheter is straight, is between 30 and 150 degrees. A flexible longitudinal member passes from a proximal portion of the catheter to the distal portion via the first channel, out of the first channel via the first lateral opening, into the second channel via the second lateral opening, and from the distal portion to the proximal portion via the second channel.

A device has a drainage conduit for draining fluids from a patient. The drainage conduit may be flexible. One or more flexible delivery conduits deliver medication to the patient. The one or more flexible delivery conduits are attached to the flexible drainage conduit. The one or more flexible delivery conduits are detachable from the flexible drainage conduits at at-least one end of the drainage conduit so that the delivery conduits can be peeled off the drainage conduit at the proximal and deployed with the proximal ends of the delivery conduits separated from the proximal end of the drainage conduit.

Medical instruments and systems for applying energy to tissue, and more particularly relates to a system for ablating, sealing, coagulating, shrinking or creating lesions in tissue by means of contacting a targeted tissue in a patient with a vapor phase media wherein a subsequent vapor-to-liquid phase change of the media applies thermal energy to the tissue to cause an intended therapeutic effect. Devices and methods for generating a flow of high-quality vapor and monitoring the vapor flow for various parameters with one or more sensors. Devices and methods for modulating parameters of the system in response to the observed parameters

An apparatus and methods for use are provided, where the apparatus includes: (a) a first catheter having a proximal end and a distal end, and wherein a distal portion of the first catheter includes a first one or more outlets, (b) a first tubular housing having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the first tubular housing is coupled to the first catheter proximal to the at least one first outlet, (c) one or more pressure sensors coupled to the distal end of the first tubular housing, and (d) a second catheter having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein a distal portion of the second catheter includes a second one or more outlets, and wherein the distal end of the second catheter is configured to be positioned substantially within one of (i) the first catheter or (ii) a second tubular housing coupled to one or more of the first catheter and the first tubular housing, when the second catheter is in a first position.

A medical device, for example a delivery catheter, may include a handle portion, a shaft portion extending distally from the handle portion, a deployment mechanism, and an actuation member positioned on the handle portion. The shaft portion may include a working channel and a distal tip portion having a payload chamber configured to receive a payload, such as a bio-absorbable foam. The distal tip portion may be operatively connected to the working channel. The deployment mechanism may be positioned in the working channel, and may be operable to deploy the payload out from the distal tip portion. The actuation member may be actuatable to operate the deployment mechanism.

A device for providing access to a nodule, lesion, or pathological area in a lung or other body organ or lumen. The device includes a sheath portion having a proximal end and a distal end and a plurality of stabilization wires. The sheath portion includes a primary lumen that extends from the proximal end to the distal end and a plurality of secondary lumens that extend from the proximal end to the distal end. The stabilization wires are configured to be slidably received within the secondary lumens. The length of the stabilization wires is greater than the length of the secondary lumens.
