DEVICE FOR FASTENING METALLIC GUIDES AND BALLOON CATHETERS FOR CARRYING OUT MEDICAL PROCEDURES INVOLVING PERCUTANEOUS VASCULAR SURGERY

摘要

A device for fastening metallic guides and balloon catheters for carrying out medical procedures involving percutaneous vascular surgery is described. The device may include a flat base with a proximal end and a distal end. Fastening means may be mounted on the tapered proximal end to hold and position a Y connector. At least one pair of aligned fasteners may be mounted on the distal end. Each pair of fasteners may also be aligned with the respective inlets for the main vessel and for the secondary or lateral vessels. Each fastener may have a shape of a truncated pyramid made of a rigid material, may project from the base, and may be provided at the top end with an insert made of a flexible material with a longitudinal groove that defines a receptacle for housing and retaining a metallic guide, a balloon catheter or a balloon catheter with a stent.
