NON-OCCLUDING CATHETER BOLUS

摘要

This invention is an improved catheter and bolus for delivering or suctioning fluids to the body cavity of a patient. The catheter (10) includes a tube with a proximal end for joining it to a source of fluid or suction, and a distal end connected to a bolus (320). The bolus has a tubular shaped body (321) with a tube glue area section (325) at one end, a bullet tip section (327) at the other end, and a flow passage section (326) between the connector and nose sections. The tube glue area section (325) and the flow passage section (326) have an irregularly shaped lower surface. In one aspect of the present invention the irregularly shaped surface forms an arch (328).
