A deflation catheter device, comprising: a catheter tube having a proximal end and a distal end; a stylet disposed within the catheter tube; a stylet handle attached to the stylet; and a y-connector disposed near a proximal end of the catheter tube, configured to provide fluid communication from the distal end of the catheter tube and a suction port, and configured to provide access for the stylet from the proximal end of the catheter tube to the distal end of the catheter tube.

Deflation and removal of implantable medical devices

According to embodiments, disclosed is an inflation and deflation device for an inflatable medical device, comprising: an inflation tubing disposed between an access block and a roller configured to rotate about an axis of a roller head; wherein the inflation tubing provides fluid communication between a container and the inflatable medical device; wherein the access block and the roller are configured to restrict flow through the inflation tubing at the area of pressure between the roller and the access block; and wherein the rotation of the roller about the axis of the roller head is configured to transport a fluid within the inflation tubing.

Inflation and deflation mechanisms for inflatable medical devices

Deflation devices including a catheter having a proximal opening at a proximal end and a distal opening at a distal end, and a coring member disposed within the catheter are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the coring member comprises a handle disposed near the proximal end of the catheter, a cable, and a coring tip disposed near the distal end of the catheter. The distal end of the catheter can be configured to press against a wall of a balloon to create a substantially normalized surface of the balloon relative to a coring tip. A method for deflating and removing an implanted device, in accordance with another embodiment, can include pressing a distal end of a catheter against the wall of an inflated balloon of the device, and advancing the coring tip within the catheter beyond the distal end of the catheter and into the balloon.

Device and method for deflation and removal of implantable and inflatable devices

A deflation device for use in deflating an inflatable or implantable balloon device, comprising, in combination: an endoscope tube, having a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen; a cap disposed at the distal end of the endoscope tube and having walls defining a balloon interface chamber; a coring device disposed within the lumen and configured to travel within the lumen such that a distal end of the coring device is extendable beyond the distal end of the cap; wherein the cap is configured to provide a normal surface of a balloon relative to the orientation of the coring device as the coring device is disposed near the distal end of the cap.
