Reinforcing sleeves for medical device lumens are disclosed. In some embodiments reinforcing sleeves may provide resistance to crushing, kinking, or other deformation of the lumen. Reinforcing sleeves within the scope of this disclosure may be displacable along an outer diameter of a reinforced lumen. Some reinforcing sleeves within the scope of this disclosure comprise metal alloys.

A medical material uses a nickel-titanium alloy wherein a polyelectrolyte has a reduced thickness while a sufficient amount of an antithrombogenic compound for production of a therapeutic effect is supported. The medical material in which a porous surface is formed on a nickel-titanium alloy to allow infiltration of a polyelectrolyte into the pores, to thereby reduce the thickness of the polyelectrolyte exposed on the surface of the nickel-titanium alloy while allowing supporting of a sufficient amount of an antithrombogenic compound due to contribution of the polyelectrolyte infiltrate.

A Sodium Bicarbonate Catheter Lock Solution that prevents clot formation inside the catheter lumen and ensures patency of the catheter and also eliminates bleeding and other complications caused through the use of anticoagulants and other solutions as a catheter locking solution. Said lock solution may be used with or without other components such as antimicrobials/antibiotics and/or anti-coagulants/anti-clotting agents.

The present disclosure relates generally to coating medical devices. In particular, the present disclosure provides materials and methods for coating a portion of a balloon catheter with a pharmaceutical agent using electrodeposition techniques. Although angioplasty and stenting can be effective methods for treating vascular occlusions, restenosis remains a pervasiveness problem. Therefore, coating portions of a balloon catheter with a pharmaceutical agent that inhibits restenosis can reduce the likelihood of restenosis.

Embodiments for a Mooreville Needle Introducer, and methods for using and making the same are disclosed. The Mooreville Needle Introducer can be constructed of a first part and a second part that can be joined together to form an enclosure for receiving a pusher. The first part and the second part can also be formed with pairs of complementing adapters that fasten together for secure alignment. The first part can be detached from the second part by applying force to a set of handles. When the first part and the second part are detached, they can be effectively cleansed and sterilized, eliminating any lingering bacteria.
