Title: Halle Lowe and Variable-Stiffness Catheter Innovation.
Introduction
Halle Lowe is an inventor associated with Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Her work includes a patent for a catheter designed to adjust its stiffness.
Latest Patents
Lowe is associated with 1 patent, titled “Variable Stiffness Catheter and Methods Thereof.” The disclosed catheter has inner, middle, and outer layers. The middle layer contains an annular lumen and strings connected to the inner layer. Applying a vacuum to evacuate the annular lumen changes the frictional force between the inner and outer layers, thereby adjusting the catheter’s flexural rigidity.
Career Highlights
The patent reflects work on catheter design and controllable mechanical properties. The disclosed approach aims to let the catheter’s stiffness change through vacuum-driven adjustment of its layered structure.
Collaborations
Halle Lowe’s listed coworkers include Chase Hartquist and Vinay Chandrasekaran. The patent information provided associates her work with Washington University.
Conclusion
Halle Lowe’s patent describes a layered catheter whose flexural rigidity can be adjusted by evacuating an internal lumen, highlighting an innovation in catheter design.
