Title:
改良されたコントラスト視覚化を伴う流体注入装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004526494
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for manually injecting fluid into a patient with improved contrast visualization are disclosed. The apparatus includes a syringe having a cylinder in which a plunger is reciprocatingly mounted. The syringe is connected to a manifold which itself is connected to a source of radiopaque contrast. Retraction of the plunger within the cylinder draws contrast into the cylinder, and depression of the plunger forces the contrast through the manifold and into a patient through a catheter. In order to increase the speed of injection and thus the visualization of the contrast, an improved visualization device is provided which may be provided in the form of a heater or, alternatively, in the form of an expandible catheter. The heater may be positioned anywhere within the apparatus to elevate the temperature of the contrast material, which in turn reduces its viscosity and thereby increases the speed with which fluid may be injected. The expandible catheter, may be used to restrict blood flow through a vascular structure so that the contrast material may be injected into the patient with lessened resistance and dilution from blood flow.
