CATHETER PRIMING SYSTEM

摘要

A catheter (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600) includes a longitudinally extending catheter body (110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610) having a proximal end (112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 612) and a distal end (114, 214, 314, 414, 514, 614). The catheter body defines a lumen (120, 220, 320, 420, 520, 620) extending longitudinally from a first port (122, 222, 322, 422, 522, 622) defined at the proximal end, through the catheter body, to a second port (124, 224, 324, 424, 524, 624) defined at the distal end. The catheter includes a valve (130, 230, 330, 430, 530, 630) for controlling fluid flow through the second port.
