The disclosed device, systems and methods relate to a novel catheter, system and methods. Exemplary embodiments comprise a plurality of lumens and balloons for insertion into the aorta and vena cava.

Various exemplary pumps with orientation independent liquid drug accessibility are provided. In general, a pump includes a reservoir configured to contain a liquid drug therein, a conduit configured to receive the drug therein from the reservoir, and a needle in fluid communication with the conduit and configured to deliver the drug therethrough to a patient wearing the pump. The conduit includes a mechanism configured to ensure that the conduit is in complete communication with the drug in the reservoir at least when the conduit is receiving the drug therein from the reservoir regardless of the patients orientation. In one exemplary embodiment, the mechanism includes a weight attached to the conduit. In another exemplary embodiment, the mechanism includes a fork at a free end of the conduit that is located in the reservoir.

An apparatus including tubing sets, a modular constraint assembly, and methods of use are described for deliver a therapeutic medication to a patient, the apparatus can have a controller and a sensor. The controller is configured to receive data from the sensor, and to start and stop delivery of the therapeutic medication to the patient in response to data received from the sensor. In addition, apparatus, systems and methods are disclosed, which are configured to deliver a therapeutic medication to a patient. The apparatus, system and methods use a reservoir, a patient interface, a tubing set, a modular constraint assembly connected to the tubing sets, and a fluid pump, and the components are configured to provide a calibrated flow rate based upon specific characteristics of the therapeutic medications passing through and internal lumen of the tubing set.

A catheter includes: a body comprising a body side wall, a proximal end and a distal end; a septum extending from the proximal end to the distal end; a first lumen and a second lumen separated by the septum, each lumen forming a mouth at the distal end; first and second slots formed in a portion of the body side wall at the distal end and in fluid communication with the first and second lumens respectively. The first and second slots extend linearly along a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the body. The distal end of the body and the septum terminate in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The distal end of the body has a substantially round cross section, while the first and second lumens each have a substantially D-shaped cross-section at the distal end. The two slots each have a width that is between 30% and 60% of a longer dimension of the D-shaped cross-section of a corresponding lumen.

Disclosed herein in is a medical tube comprising a hydrogenated styrenic block copolymer having a formula A-B-A, (A-B-A).sub.nX or (A-B).sub.nX is disclosed, where n is an integer from 2 to 30, and X is residue of a coupling agent. Prior to hydrogenation, each A block is a monoalkenyl arene homopolymer block having a true peak molecular weight of 5 kg/mol to 15 kg/mol. Each B block is a controlled distribution copolymer block having a true peak molecular weight of 30 kg/mol to 200 kg/mol. The hydrogenated styrenic block copolymer has a midblock poly(monoalkenyl arene) content of 35 wt. % to 50 wt. % based on the total weight of the midblock, and physical properties that makes it useful for producing medical tubes having kink resistance.

A new system for negative pressure wound therapy is described. The system includes a patient tube set connecting the wound dressing to the suction container. The patient tube set provides separate channels for applying suction to the wound site and sensing the therapeutic pressure at the wound site. A restrictor valve may also be included in order to introduce a small air leak into the system to prevent occlusions in the patient tube set.

The assembly comprises: a stand for hanging a container of a main liquid, a spike, to be introduced into the container of main liquid, a multi-inlet connector with inlet tubings, to be connected to containers of additional liquids and to the container of main liquid through the spike, and an outlet tubing to be connected to a luer syringe to be introduced into a patient. The length of the spike inlet tubing of the connector has a length determined for, during use of the assembly with a container of main liquid, keeping the connector hung up on the stand through the spike and the container of main liquid. Thanks to the invention, the problem of the tubing traffic is solved.

A conduit includes a first end configured to be fluidly coupled to a wound site, and a second end configured to be fluidly coupled to a canister. The conduit additionally includes a central lumen extending between the first end and the second end. The conduit further includes a male interlocking member on a first side of the conduit and a female interlocking member on a second side of the conduit. Both the first side and the second side extend along a length of the conduit between the first end and the second end. The female interlocking member is configured to receive the male interlocking member.

A tube for a medical treatment system has a first channel for feeding an irrigation fluid from a console of the system to a medical treatment instrument of the system and a second channel for discharging an aspiration fluid from the instrument to the console. The first and the second channels are arranged in parallel. The first channel has a first wall and the second channel has a second wall. A second material of the second wall has a greater hardness than a first material of the first wall. The tube is formed from two individual tube elements for the channels. The tube elements are welded or adhesively bonded in a connection region. The difference between the hardness of the first material and the hardness of the second material is at least 10 ShA and at most 15 ShA.

A fluid infusion system includes a housing configured to be adhesively coupled to an anatomy of the user. The housing comprises a communication device configured to wirelessly communicate a physiological characteristic to a communication component of a fluid infusion device. The fluid infusion system includes a fluid flow path from the fluid infusion device into the anatomy of the user, and the fluid flow path is configured to extend from the housing for insertion into the anatomy of the user.
