Researchers Submit Patent Application, "Aspiration Thrombectomy Systems And Methods For Thrombus Removal With Aspiration Catheter", for Approval (USPTO 20240245414).

A patent application has been submitted for an aspiration thrombectomy system that aims to improve the removal of blood clots from the body. The system includes a catheter, vacuum source, manifold, sensor, vacuum valve, and controller. The controller adjusts the vacuum valve based on signals from the sensor, transitioning between different states depending on whether a clot or open flow is detected. The system also includes a vent source and valve to prolong the energy of pulsed aspiration. The patent application provides detailed descriptions of the system's components and how they function.
