Abstract

Abstract CHOLANGIOGRAPHY DEVICE AND METHOD ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A device for use in cholangiography and similar proce-dures comprising, a first syringe having a barrel defining a cham-ber for retaining an irrigation liquid, and a plunger having one end received in the chamber for pumping the liquid from the cham-ber. The device has a second syringe having a barrel defining a chamber for retaining a liquid contrast medium, and a plunger having one end received in the chamber of the second syringe for pumping the contrast medium from the chamber. The device has a catheter having a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen extend-ing through the catheter. The device also has means for connect-ing the proximal end of the catheter to the chambers of the first and second syringes without exposing the liquids to the atmos-phere intermediate the lumen and chambers, in order that the irri-gation liquid and contrast medium may be ejected through the catheter without introduction of air into the device.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 207 words
A device for use in cholangiography and similar procedures, comprising: a first syringe having a barrel defining a chamber for retaining an irrigation liquid, and a plunger having one end received in said chamber for pumping the liquid from said chamber, a second syringe having a barrel defining a chamber for retaining a liquid contrast medium, and a plunger having one end received in the chamber of the second syringe for pumping the contrast medium from said chamber, a catheter having a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen extending through the catheter, means for connecting the proximal end of said catheter to the chambers of the first and second syringes without ex-posing the liquids to the atmosphere intermediate the lumen and chambers, whereby the irrigation liquid and contrast medium may be ejected through the catheter without introduction of air into the device, and a plate, said syringes being secured to said plate, a pair of elongated arms each having one end secured to said plungers and the other ends being slotted and slidably secured to said plate, screws secured to said plate and positioned in said slots to releasably lock said arms to in turn lock said plungers at any inner or outer selected position.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 207 words
A device for use in cholangiography and similar procedures, comprising: a first syringe having a barrel defining a chamber for retaining an irrigation liquid, and a plunger having one end received in said chamber for pumping the liquid from said chamber, a second syringe having a barrel defining a chamber for retaining a liquid contrast medium, and a plunger having one end received in the chamber of the second syringe for pumping the contrast medium from said chamber, a catheter having a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen extending through the catheter, means for connecting the proximal end of said catheter to the chambers of the first and second syringes without ex-posing the liquids to the atmosphere intermediate the lumen and chambers, whereby the irrigation liquid and contrast medium may be ejected through the catheter without introduction of air into the device, and a plate, said syringes being secured to said plate, a pair of elongated arms each having one end secured to said plungers and the other ends being slotted and slidably secured to said plate, screws secured to said plate and positioned in said slots to releasably lock said arms to in turn lock said plungers at any inner or outer selected position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
The device of Claim 1 wherein the connecting means selectively connects the proximal end of the catheter to the chambers of said first and second syringes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
The device of Claim 1 wherein said catheter has an outer bead spaced slightly from the distal end of the catheter.
