Nested oblique slits distribute bending stress to prevent cracking in flexible guidewires navigating cerebral arteries.
A catheter hub integrates a sealing element within an aperture to enable rapid medical device access through the fluid passageway.
Segmented guidewires minimize annular space with catheters while maintaining flexibility, reducing radial offset and procedural complications.
Pultruded composite shaft enables sensor integration in MRI guidewires without RF-heating or imaging artifacts.
A wire feeding device uses a dynamic grip mechanism to advance medical wires through occlusions.
A dilator tube with a longitudinal slit and slidable sleeve closes the opening during insertion to maintain structural integrity.
