"Multifunctional Epidural Catheter Being Equipped With Sensor For Detecting Pressure Applied To Combined Balloon" in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240066275).

A patent application by inventor KIM, Hyun Hong has been made available online for a multifunctional epidural catheter equipped with a sensor for detecting pressure applied to a combined balloon. The catheter, developed by JUVENUI Co. Ltd., aims to address the inconvenience of using separate devices for different treatments by integrating multiple treatment functions into a single equipment. The catheter includes a syringe connection part, a fluid transfer part, a pressure sensor, a display unit, and an alarm unit. By accurately measuring the pressure applied to the balloon, the catheter allows for appropriate levels of pressure to be applied, reducing the risk of pain or damage to the epidural space.
