1 results about "Parietal peritoneum" patented technology

Apparatuses and methods can be used to install a catheter or trocar in a patient to gain access to an internal region of the patient, such as the peritoneal cavity. For example, the devices described herein provide a non-electric, mechanical means to access the peritoneal space. The devices are designed for safe and reliable placement of a peritoneal access catheter even in austere conditions, such as on the battlefield or in another type of emergency setting. The devices are designed with safety being paramount, and are therefore capable of providing low enough pressure to allow access without causing pre-peritoneal insufflation, yet high enough to separate abdominal viscera from the parietal peritoneum. The devices are designed to be straightforward to use, and only require minimal training for use.
