Problems solved by technology

[0005] Because compartment syndrome is often difficult to diagnose, and because the consequences of misdiagnosis can be potentially serious, current clinical practice assumes that any patient with a lower leg fracture is at risk for developing compartment syndrome

Embodiment Construction

[0037] The device of the present invention could change the standard of care for military orthopedic injuries by providing compartment monitoring during the treatment of soldiers with extremity injuries who exhibit or are at risk of developing compartment syndrome potential prophylactic and therapeutic benefits.

[0038] As used in this context, the terms "fluid" and "non-fluid" tissue will generally refer to the difference between tissue, respectively, which is intended and capable of being absorbed or sucked by the device of the present invention for or by means of a functional device end for measurement, removal, etc., as opposed to having a tendency or risk of impacting or clogging such equipment so that the functional device end(s) cannot be used for its intended purpose organize.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the device includes one or more sensors within a catheter portion of the device for determining one or more corresponding parameters such as tissue pressure,...

Abstract

A system for use in treating a tissue site, (e.g., a site exhibiting or at risk for developing compartment syndrome,) the system including a monitor for use in controlling the function and operation of one or more apparatuses providing insertable catheters. The system includes at least one apparatus having a catheter portion that includes both a suitably protected, functional device tip, adapted to be positioned and used within the tissue site, and one or more hollow fiber membranes, (e.g., an array of such membranes,) adapted to be positioned within the tissue site in order to simultaneously collect fluid therefrom. The catheter portion is adapted to be safely inserted and positioned within the tissue site, in a manner that permits it to function there while substantially minimizing direct impingement of the non-fluid tissue on the functional device tip surface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the use of catheters to measure, remove and / or provide fluid to the body. In another aspect, the invention relates to methods and devices for monitoring parameters such as tissue pressure in vivo by means of functional tips positioned within the tissue itself. Background technique [0002] Various means exist for placing functional tips (eg, sensors) within tissue in order to determine corresponding tissue or body parameters, such as tissue pressure, blood pressure, temperature, oxygenation, and the like. [0003] Compartment syndrome is a condition that may occur after injury or in conjunction with certain pathological conditions in which the pressure within the muscle compartment becomes elevated due to tissue swelling such that capillary blood flow is reduced below that required to maintain tissue activity required level. [0004] Usually, tissue swelling is bounded by a covering of inelastic muscle called fascia. ...
