INTRAVASCULAR OXYGENATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

A system for intravascular oxygenation may include a catheter shaft, a vibratory member, and an oxygen source. The catheter shaft may have a wall that extends from a proximal end to a distal end along a longitudinal axis to form a lumen. The distal end may terminate in an atraumatic tip that seals o...

More Information
Summary:A system for intravascular oxygenation may include a catheter shaft, a vibratory member, and an oxygen source. The catheter shaft may have a wall that extends from a proximal end to a distal end along a longitudinal axis to form a lumen. The distal end may terminate in an atraumatic tip that seals off an interior space of the lumen from an adjacent exterior space. The distal end may include a coiled spring whose coils are tightly disposed against adjacent coils. The vibratory member may be configured to produce and transmit via the wall, to the coiled spring, mechanical vibration or high-frequency acoustic energy. The oxygen source may be configured to be coupled to the proximal end and to deliver a flow of oxygen to an interior space for communication to the exterior space, through gaps that exist or are created between adjacent coils of the coiled spring.
