MEDICAL DEVICE FOR THE TRANSPORTATION AND DISSOLUTION OF FLUID AND MATTER FROM WITHIN THE HUMAN BODY

摘要

A device for transporting and dissolving friable/coagulated tissue and/or fluid from within a human body, such transportation and dissolution being achieved through the rotational interaction between a drive member and an encompassing member. A substantially helical fluid flow path is defined by ridges formed about both an outer periphery of the drive member and an inner periphery of the encompassing member. Rotation of the drive member induces proximal fluid flow as well as matter dissolution along the encompassed length of the flexible drive member.
