(54) Title

Coaxial bi-directional catheter

(57) Abstract

A deflectable catheter including an outer member having a proximal portion and a distal portion, an elongated column member extending distally from the outer member and an inner member positioned coaxial with the outer member and attached to the column member. The inner member extends distally of the outer member and has a distal tip portion. A reinforcement member is positioned over the column member to restrict axial movement of the column member such that when one of the inner member or outer member is moved with respect to the other, axial compression of the column member is restricted by the reinforcement member causing the distal tip portion of the inner member to deflect laterally.

Claims (16)

A deflectable catheter comprising: an outer tubular member having a proximal section, a distal section and a lumen, an inner tubular member having a proximal section and a distal section, the proximal section of the inner member being stiffer than the distal section of the inner member, the inner member positioned within the lumen of the outer member, one or both of the inner member and outer member being movable relative to an other, the inner member having a lubricious inner liner to reduce a coefficient of friction to aid in guidewire movement within the inner member; an elongated column member, the column member fixed to the inner member; wherein the column member is external the distal section of the inner member; and a restriction member positioned over the column member, the restriction member restricting movement of the column member; wherein a distal tip portion of the catheter is deflectable in a first direction from a longitudinal axis of the catheter.
The catheter of claim 1, wherein the column member is composed of one of a wire or ribbon having a cross-sectional dimension less than a cross-sectional dimension of the distal section of the inner member.
The catheter of claim 1, wherein the distal section of the inner member is tubular and has a distal opening fluidly communicating with a lumen of the distal section, the distal opening of the inner member positioned distal of a distal opening of the lumen of the outer member.
The catheter of claim 1, wherein the column member has a cross-sectional shape different than a cross-sectional shape of the inner member.
The catheter of claim 1, wherein the proximal section of the outer member is stiffer than the distal section of the outer member.
The catheter of claim 1, wherein the column member is fixed at a proximal end of the column member to a distal end of the cuter member.
The catheter of claim 1, wherein the inner member includes a braid and a polymeric reinforcement layer.
The catheter of claim 1, wherein the outer member has a lubricious inner liner to aid in movement of one or both of the inner member and outer member during deflection by reducing the coefficient of friction.
A deflectable catheter comprising: an outer tubular member having a proximal section, a distal section and a lumen, an inner tubular member having a proximal section and a distal section, the proximal section of the inner member being stiffer than the distal section of the inner member, the inner member positioned within the lumen of the outer member, one or both of the inner member and outer member being movable relative to an other, wherein the outer member has a lubricious inner liner to aid in movement of one or both of the inner member and outer member during deflection by reducing a coefficient of friction; an elongated column member fixed to the inner member; wherein the column member is external the distal section of the inner member; and a restriction member positioned over the column member, the restriction member restricting movement of the column member; wherein a distal tip portion of the catheter is deflectable in a first direction from a longitudinal axis of the catheter.
The catheter of claim 9, wherein the column member is positioned external of an outer wall of the inner member.
The catheter of claim 9, wherein the distal section of the inner member is tubular and has a distal opening fluidly communicating with a lumen of the distal section of the inner member, the distal opening positioned distal of a distal opening of the lumen of the outer member.
The catheter of claim 9, wherein the proximal section of the outer member is stiffer than the distal section of the outer member.
The catheter of claim 9, wherein the outer member has a polymeric reinforcement layer.
The catheter of claim 9, wherein the column member is in the form of one of a wire or ribbon.
The catheter of claim 9, wherein the column member is fixed at a proximal end of the column member to a distal end of the outer member, and further comprising a marker band at a region where the column member is fixed to the inner member.
The catheter of claim 15, further comprising a second marker band at a region where the column member is fixed to the outer member.
