Embodiment Construction

[0077] Before describing the present invention, it is first referred to figure 1 , which depicts two typical expansion devices (5) known in the prior art. Note the series of balloons (30) in each of these devices (5). It should be noted that the balloons sit side by side (as in figure 1 .1) aligned or aligned in parallel so that the balloons (30) overlap (eg figure 1 .2). Those skilled in the art will understand that neither of these arrangements is optimal for maximizing the structural packing density of the balloon (30) within the device (5). Therefore, the device (5) is relatively bulky and large.

[0078] now refer to Figure 2-10 , which describes a preferred embodiment of the present invention, discloses an airway dilating device and is generally indicated by the reference numeral 20 . A corresponding method for deployment and retraction of the device (20) is also disclosed. However, although the steps involved can be inferred from the drawings and the description...

Abstract

This invention relates to an airway dilation device (20) comprising a catheter (50); an inflation tube (90) within the catheter (50), and having a lumen (40) defined by its inner wall; a duct (160) within the catheter (50), for the insufflation of a fluid, the duct (160) being sealed against any fluid flow between it and the tube (90); a cluster of balloons (30), arranged about the catheter (50),the balloons (30) being manipulated between a stowed condition, in which the balloons (30) are deflated, and a deployed condition, in which the balloons (30) are inflated; and inflating means, for inflating the balloons (30); characterised in that, when stowed, each balloon (30) is folded and staggered relative to each adjacent balloon (30), and such that continuous insufflation remains possible,even when the deployed. This invention relates, further, to corresponding methods of deployment and retrieval of devices (20).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to an airway dilation device. It also extends to related methods of deployment of the device in the body and subsequent retrieval from the body. Background technique [0002] Many different stent-type devices and catheter-type devices are known and used to reduce narrowing and / or remove blockages of arteries, veins, airways, and lumens of internal organs. It should however be emphasized that the invention is intended to be applied exclusively to the passages of the respiratory airways (nasal cavity, nasopharynx, pharynx, larynx, trachea and bronchi) and the digestive tract (in the case of the present invention: pharynx and esophagus). [0003] Balloon dilation has been used to widen the stenosis, allowing the patient to breathe and prevent choking, in cases where a patient demonstrates a medically necessary blockage or occlusion of the air passage. In an emergency, drastic medical intervention is often required...
