Hemodialysis Access Flow Restrictor Device
- Technology Benefits
- -- One of the main problems caused by other vascular access devices is that optimal blood flow is achieved by creating high flow rate through the shunt, resulting in thrombosis. In this technology, however, the improved design optimizes entry and exit geometries to allow flow rates high enough for dialysis while reducing heart load.
- Technology Application
- -- This invention can be used as a graft stent providing low risk vascular access in patients requiring regular dialysis.
- Detailed Technology Description
- This technology is a stent graft that allows flow rates high enough for dialysis while reducing heart load. A catheter-deliverable stent graft optimizes entry and exit geometries to allow flow rates high enough for dialysis while reducing heart load...
