Directed fluidics

This invention describes a method for removing objects during a medical procedure using two separate instruments. One instrument delivers fluid to irrigate the treatment site, while the other aspirates fluid and fragments. Specifically, the method focuses on breaking up an object, such as a kidney stone, and then removing the resulting fragments.

Why it matters: The short time since filing means no major technological shifts have occurred to fundamentally alter the feasibility or cost of these established medical procedures. Regulatory hurdles for new medical devices remain significant.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMedical instruments, fluid pumps, lithotripter, tubing.
