Abstract

A ureteral device is provided for facilitating stone passage through a ureter or duct. An exemplary ureteral device includes a flexible, elongate body that defines a plurality of cages along the body. In a contracted state the cages have a reduced diameter. When an activation force is applied, the cages transform to an expanded state, thereby defining a plurality of void spaces.
The void spaces are configured to receive an obstruction, such as a stone. The ureteral device can then be induced to the contracted state to compress the obstruction within the elongate, flexible body and then be removed from the obstructed passage. The ureteral device can be configured to have different numbers of elongate flexible members that define the cages.

Claims (18)

1. A ureteral device comprising:
a flexible elongate body having a first end and a second end, the flexible elongate body defining a plurality of cages between the first end and the second end.
2. The ureteral device of claim 1, wherein the cages are reversibly, radially expandable.
3. The ureteral device of claim 1, wherein the cages are defined by a plurality of elongate flexible members.
4. The ureteral device of claim 3, wherein the cages are transitionable from a contracted to an expanded state, and wherein the contracted state provides a first cage diameter and the expanded state provides a second cage diameter.
5. The ureteral device of claim 3, wherein the flexible elongate body includes a flexible tube having a body wall with an outer surface and an inner surface that defines a lumen, and wherein the plurality of elongate flexible members are defined by portions of the body wall.
6. The ureteral device of claim 5, wherein the elongate flexible members touch adjacent elongate flexible members when the plurality of cages are in a contracted state.
7. The ureteral device of claim 6, wherein the elongate flexible members are separated from each other when the plurality of cages are in an expanded state.
8. The ureteral device of claim 5, wherein the elongate flexible members are disposed in a spaced-apart relationship when the plurality of cages are in a contracted state.
9. The ureteral device of claim 3, wherein the elongate flexible members are longitudinally aligned with a longitudinal axis of the flexible elongate body.
10. The ureteral device of claim 3, wherein the elongate flexible members are not longitudinally aligned with a longitudinal axis of the flexible elongate body.
11. The ureteral device of claim 1, wherein the elongate flexible body provides an undulating surface and alternating larger and smaller localized circumferential regions.
12. A ureteral device comprising:
a flexible elongate body having a first end and a second end, the flexible elongate body defining a plurality of cages between the first end and the second end, wherein the cages are defined by a plurality of elongate flexible members, and wherein the cages are reversibly, radially expandable.
13. A method of removing a ureteral obstruction, comprising the steps of:
(a) providing a device having a flexible elongate body having a first end and a second end, the flexible elongate body defining a plurality of cages between the first end and the second end;
(b) guiding the device in a retrograde manner through a ureter;
(c) expanding the device to allow an obstruction to lodge therein; and (d) removing the device from the ureter.
14. A method of dilating a duct, comprising the steps of:
(a) providing a device having a flexible elongate body having a first end and a second end, the flexible elongate body defining a plurality of cages between the first end and the second end;
(b) guiding the device in a retrograde manner through a ureter; and (c) expanding the device.
15. A method of making a ureteral device, comprising the steps of:
(a) providing an elongate flexible body with a body wall which defines a central lumen; and (b) creating a plurality of apertures in the body wall such that the apertures completely penetrate a cross-section of the body wall; and (c) creating the apertures such that elongate flexible members are defined by the apertures in the body wall.
16. The method of claim 15, further comprising removing portions of the body wall adjacent to the apertures.
17. The method of claim 15, wherein the apertures are radially spaced on the body wall.
18. The method of claim 15, further comprising the steps of:
(d) expanding the elongate flexible members to an expanded state; and (e) heating the ureteral device to a temperature sufficient to induce a shape memory of the expanded state.
