Balloon Catheter TRIZ Cases
- Integrated embolic protection devices
See how integrating an embolic filter with the catheter shaft eliminates separate protection de
- Dysphagia Catheter Sleeve Locking for Stable Pharyngeal Positioning
A movable sleeve with an elastomer liner and seal keeps a dysphagia catheter accurately positioned while reducing tube damage, fluid ingress, and discomfort.
- Micropatterned Balloon Surface for Implant Tissue Anchoring
Micropatterned balloon surfaces raise friction in wet tissue contact, helping implants stay anchored with less tissue damage.
- Robotic Drive Sterile Drape With Resilient Gap Sealing
Resilient free-edge barrier sections seal gaps between moving drive modules to preserve sterile separation in robotic catheter procedures.
- Pharyngeal Stimulation Catheter Sleeve Retention Against Aspiration
A movable snap-fit sleeve secures electrode placement on a dysphagia catheter while sealing against aspiration and limiting tissue pinching.
- Robotic Drive Sterile Drape for Moving Module Coverage
Resilient edges track robotic drive module motion to preserve sterility and simplify single-operator catheter exchange.
