A device for clearing obstructions from a medical tube, such as a chest tube, is disclosed in various embodiments. the device features a shuttle member that is magnetically coupled to a guide wire within a guide tube, through the guide-tube wall, so that translation of the shuttle member induces a corresponding translation of the guide wire within the guide tube, without penetrating or comprising the guide-tube wall. In this manner, when the guide tube is coupled to a medical tube where obstructions have formed, the guide wire and clearance member may be inserted into and withdrawn from the medical tube, via actuation of the shuttle member, to engage and help clear such obstructions from the medical tube without compromising the sterile field. Methods of clearing a medical tube of obstructions are also disclosed.
La présente invention concerne, dans divers modes de réalisation, un dispositif permettant déliminer des obstructions d'une tubulure médicale, telle qu'un drain thoracique. Le dispositif comprend un élément navette qui est couplé magnétiquement à un fil-guide dans un tube de guidage, à travers la paroi du tube de guidage, de telle sorte que le déplacement de l'élément navette induit un déplacement correspondant du fil-guide dans le tube de guidage, sans pénétrer dans la paroi du tube de guidage ou la comprendre. De cette manière, lorsque le tube de guidage est couplé à une tubulure médicale où des obstructions ont été formées, le fil-guide et l'élément délimination peuvent être insérés dans la tubulure médicale et en être retirés par l'actionnement de l'élément navette pour commencer et aider à lélimination de telles obstructions de la tubulure médicale sans compromettre le champ stérile.
