Abstract

A system and method for adjusting a catheter to create a medicated atmosphere in an organ, or body cavity is disclosed. The system comprises a catheter, such as an aerosolization catheter, that can be manipulated during use and an introduction device for the introduction and manipulation, by rotational and/or axial positioning, of the aerosolization catheter. The method includes inserting the catheter into a body cavity via an introducer apparatus and adjusting an angle or orientation of the exit end of the catheter so that a substance provided to the catheter will be controllably applied to the body cavity at desired locations.

Claims (20)

1. A system for manipulating a catheter used for delivering a substance to a body cavity of a patient, the system comprising:

a catheter comprising at least one lumen or tube, the catheter having a proximal end configured for receiving a substance intended for delivery to a body cavity and a distal end comprising a flexible tip biased in a pre-shaped orientation;
and an introducer apparatus comprising:

a body defining a bore sized to receive the catheter; and a catheter adjustment mechanism releasably connectable with the catheter, wherein the catheter adjustment mechanism is movable relative to the body of the introducer apparatus, and wherein the catheter adjustment mechanism is manually adjustable to control at least one of rotational and axial movement of the catheter relative to the body of the introducer apparatus.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the catheter adjustment mechanism comprises a rotatable knob that is rotatably connected with the body and operably connected with the catheter, and wherein a rotational orientation of the rotatable knob corresponds to a rotational orientation of the catheter.
3. The system of claim 2, wherein the catheter is axially movable with respect to the rotatable knob, and wherein an axial position of the catheter adjustable independently of a rotational orientation of the catheter.
4. The system of claim 2, wherein the catheter comprises a nebulizing catheter.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein the catheter adjustment mechanism is operably connected to the catheter to simultaneously control both axial and rotational orientation of the catheter relative to the body of the introducer apparatus.
6. The system of claim 1, further comprising a tip angle adjustment member, the tip angle adjustment member attached with the flexible tip of the catheter and having a control end accessible at the proximal end of the catheter, whereby movement of the control end of tip angle adjustment member changes a tip angle.
7. The system of claim 7, wherein the tip angle adjustment member comprises a wire.
8. The system of claim 1, wherein the pre-shaped orientation comprises a curve.
9. The system of claim 1, wherein the pre-shaped orientation comprises a spiral.
10. The system of claim 1, wherein the catheter comprises a plurality of tubes.
11. The system of claim 1, wherein the catheter comprises a plurality of lumens.
12. The system of claim 1, wherein the catheter comprises a position limiter positioned to prevent contact of a distal end of the catheter with a wall of a body cavity.
13. A method for manipulating a catheter for delivery of a substance to a body cavity, the method comprising:

inserting an introducer apparatus into a body cavity through a boundary of the body cavity;

introducing a catheter into the body cavity through the introducer, wherein the catheter comprises a distal portion having a nozzle positioned on a flexible tip biased in a predetermined shape;
axially moving the catheter with respect to the introducer apparatus such that the predetermined shape of the flexible tip is altered and such that an angle of the nozzle is altered from an original angle;

rotating the catheter shaft with respect to a first portion of the introducer apparatus through rotation of a second portion of the introducer apparatus operably connected with the catheter shaft, wherein a rotational orientation of the nozzle in the body cavity is altered; and providing a substance to the body cavity through the catheter.
14. The method of claim 14, wherein providing a substance comprises applying a first substance to a first portion of the body cavity through a first lumen of the catheter, and applying a second substance to a second portion of the body cavity through a second lumen of the catheter.
15. The method of claim 14, wherein providing a substance comprises providing a first substance to the body cavity through a first lumen of the catheter and providing a second substance to the body cavity through a second lumen of the catheter.
16. The method of claim 15, where the first and second substances are provided to the body cavity simultaneously.
17. The method of claim 16, wherein the first and second substances comprise a binary solution.
18. A system for manipulating a catheter used for delivering a substance to a body cavity of a patient, the system comprising:

a catheter comprising at least one lumen or tube, the catheter having a proximal end configured for receiving a substance intended for delivery to a body cavity and a distal end comprising a flexible tip biased in a pre-shaped orientation;
and an introduces apparatus comprising:

a body defining a bore sized to receive the catheter; and means for controlling at least one of rotational and axial movement of the catheter relative to a body of the introduces apparatus.
19. The system of claim 18, further comprising a needle releasably connected with the introduces apparatus.
20. The system of claim 18, further comprising a blunt-ended single lumen releasably connected with the introduces apparatus.
