Patent

CA 2395338

A splittable medical valve is disclosed that is configured with an interfacing region that permits the valve to be placed over or inside of a tubular medical device, such as a splittable introducer sheath, to prevent loss of bodily fluids and/or reduce ingress of air-borne pathogens. The valve further includes a sealing element configured to accept passage of a medical device, such as a catheter, sheath, pacemaker lead, or other ancillary device therethrough, whereby the valve body is split along one or more lines or fissure to allow removal of the valve from around the ancillary device.

Cette valve médicale séparable est conçue de manière à présenter une région d'interface permettant de la placer par dessus ou à l'intérieur d'un instrument chirurgical tubulaire, tel que l'enveloppe d'un dispositif d'introduction séparable, afin d'empêcher la perte de fluides corporels et/ou de réduire l'entrée de pathogènes véhiculés par l'air. Cette valve comprend en outre un élément d'étanchéité conçu pour permettre le passage d'un dispositif médical tel qu'un cathéter, une gaine, un guide de stimulateur cardiaque, ou un autre dispositif auxiliaire. Le corps de la valve est divisé le long d'une ou de plusieurs lignes ou fentes ce qui permet de le détacher des dispositifs auxiliaires autour desquels il est placé.
