Embodiment Construction

[0025] In order to promote an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will be made and specific language will be used to describe the embodiment shown in the drawings. It should however be understood that this is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any alterations and further modifications in the described specific embodiments, and any further applications of the principles of the invention described herein, will normally occur to those skilled in the art to which the invention relates.

[0026] Typically, prior to deployment of an implantable vascular device, such as a vena cava filter, a medical professional determines the positioning of the vascular device and / or delivery system. Using vascular devices introduced percutaneously under fluoroscopic guidance, a medical professional typically injects a contrast agent comprising a radiopaque material through a delivery system and into a patient's vasculature to determine the location of the vasc...

Abstract

Attachable tools, systems and methods for determining migration of a medical device extending through a percutaneous insertion site of a patient's skin are disclosed. In one embodiment, an attachable tool for determining migration comprises an attachable tool body having a coupling surface configured to couple to a surface of a medical device and a skin contacting surface configured to For contacting the patient's skin; wherein the attachable tool body is configured to be side-mounted to the medical device, and wherein the attachable tool is configured to move from a first position adjacent to the patient's skin to a third position away from the patient's skin Second position. Systems, methods and other implementations are disclosed herein.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 721,040, filed November 1, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to systems, tools and methods for introducing medical devices into the body of a patient. In certain aspects, the invention relates to an attachable tool useful for the percutaneous introduction of a vascular device, such as a vascular filter, under ultrasound guidance. Background technique [0004] Vascular devices are usually introduced percutaneously under fluoroscopic guidance. For example, a vena cava filter is most often placed under fluorescence guidance with the injection of a contrast agent to provide a vena cava image characterizing the intended graft site. This fluorescence procedure must be performed in a specially equipped room such as an X-ray suite. Not only does this ...
