Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A vascular dilatation device comprising: (a) a dilatation balloon catheter including an elongated catheter shaft having a distal end and a proximal end, said catheter shaft having a first lumen extending therethrough and in fluid connection with a distally located balloon and a second lumen capable of receiving a guidewire; (b) a hub device for connecting the catheter to external devices attached to the proximal end of said catheter shaft; and (c) a hinged clip device for releasibly securing at least one loop of said catheter shaft to said hub in a coiled disposition, the clip device being integral with said hub and formed as a single piece with said hub including a hub body, a clip lid for providing a reclosable retainer to releasibly secure said at least one loop of said catheter shaft, and a living hinge joining the clip lid to the hub body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
147 words
A vascular dilatation device comprising: (a) a dilatation balloon catheter including an elongated catheter shaft having a distal end and a proximal end, said catheter shaft having a first lumen extending therethrough and in fluid connection with a distally located balloon and a second lumen capable of receiving a guidewire; (b) a hub device for connecting the catheter to external devices attached to the proximal end of said catheter shaft; and (c) a hinged clip device for releasibly securing at least one loop of said catheter shaft to said hub in a coiled disposition, the clip device being integral with said hub and formed as a single piece with said hub including a hub body, a clip lid for providing a reclosable retainer to releasibly secure said at least one loop of said catheter shaft, and a living hinge joining the clip lid to the hub body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
The device of claim 1 wherein said clip lid further forms an external recess with said hub body for accommodating said at least one loop of said catheter shaft in a coiled configuration which cooperates with said clip lid providing a reclosable snap-fit system to releasibly secure said coiled catheter shaft in said recess.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The device of claim 2 wherein the hub body and clip lid are molded from a single polymer material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The device of claim 3 wherein said hub body is made from material selected from the group consisting of polyesters and polycarbonates.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
The device of claim 2 wherein the hub and said clip lid are molded using two different polymer materials.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The device of claim 2 wherein said living hinge and said clip lid are made from a softer material than the hub body.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
The device of claim 2 wherein the proximal end of the clip device includes a male leuer connection.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim

The device of claim 8 wherein said hub body is made from material selected from the group consisting of polyesters and polycarbonates.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
15 words
The device of claim 1 wherein the clip lid has a finger operable snap-fit closure.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
19 words
The device of claim 1 wherein the hub body and clip lid are molded from a single polymer material.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
19 words
The device of claim 1 wherein said hub and said clip lid are molded using two different polymer materials.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
23 words
The device of claim 1 wherein said living hinge and said clip lid are made from a softer material than said hub body.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
18 words
The device of claim 1 wherein the proximal end of the clip device includes a male luer connection.
