Abstract

Distal tip designs for bone fixation devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system for bone fixation includes a delivery catheter having a proximal end and a distal end; an expandable member having a proximal region and a distal region, wherein the expandable member is releasably attached about the distal end of the delivery catheter at the proximal region of the expandable member; a distal cap attached to the distal region of the expandable member to seal the expandable member; a light conducting fiber; and a light-sensitive liquid; wherein the delivery catheter has an inner void for passage of a light-sensitive liquid into the expandable member to expand the expandable member and an inner lumen for passage of the light conducting fiber into the expandable member to cure the light-sensitive liquid inside the expandable member.

Claims (27)

1. A catheter comprising:

an elongated member comprising an outer tube and an inner tube disposed within the outer tube and extending beyond the outer tube;

an expandable member having a proximal region and a distal region, the distal region including a tapered portion, the expandable member being releasably attached about a distal end of the elongated member at the proximal region of the expandable member; and

a distal cap melt formed from a distal end of the tapered portion of the expandable member to close the distal end of the expandable member, the distal end of the tapered portion of the expandable member being melt formed to have a flat proximal face and a body formed from a wall of the expandable member, and an inner compartment being formed in the distal region of the expandable member by the flat proximal face of the distal cap and the body of the distal cap and having a diameter less than the diameter of the proximal region of the expandable member, the inner compartment having a cylindrical shape and being sized with a constant diameter to receive the inner tube therein,

the inner tube being inserted in the inner compartment, the inner compartment being sized and shaped to enable the inner tube to free float within the inner compartment in a radial direction and a longitudinal direction.

2. The catheter of claim 1 , wherein the inner compartment is sealed by the distal cap.

3. The catheter of claim 1 , wherein the distal cap is configured to prevent flow of a light-sensitive liquid from inside to outside of the expandable member and an ingress of bodily fluids inside the expandable member.

4. The catheter of claim 3 , wherein the light-sensitive liquid is configured to be delivered into the expandable member to expand the expandable member.

5. A system for bone fixation comprising:

a delivery catheter comprising an elongated member comprising an outer tube and an inner tube disposed within the outer tube and extending beyond the outer tube;

an expandable member having a proximal region and a distal region, the distal region including a tapered portion, the expandable member being releasably attached about a distal end of the elongated member at the proximal region of the expandable member;

a distal cap melt formed from a distal end of the tapered portion of the expandable member to close the distal end of the expandable member, the distal end of the tapered portion of the expandable member being melt formed to have a flat proximal face and a body formed from a wall of the expandable member, and an inner compartment being formed in the distal region of the expandable member by the flat proximal face of the distal cap and the body of the distal cap and having a diameter less than the diameter of the proximal region of the expandable member, the inner tube being inserted in the inner compartment, the inner compartment having a cylindrical shape and being sized with a constant diameter to receive the inner tube therein and to enable the inner tube to free float within the inner compartment in a radial direction and a longitudinal direction;

a light conducting fiber; and

a light-sensitive liquid;

wherein the delivery catheter has an inner void for passage of the light-sensitive liquid into the expandable member to expand the expandable member and an inner lumen for passage of the light conducting fiber into the expandable member to cure the light-sensitive liquid inside the expandable member.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the inner compartment is sealed by the distal cap.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the distal cap is formed from a material in the distal region of the expandable member.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the distal cap is configured to prevent flow of the light-sensitive liquid from inside to outside of the expandable member and an ingress of bodily fluids inside the expandable member.

9. A catheter comprising:

an elongated member comprising an outer tube and an inner tube disposed within the outer tube and extending beyond the outer tube;

an expandable member having a proximal region and a distal region, the distal region including a tapered portion, the expandable member being releasably attached about a distal end of the elongated member at the proximal region of the expandable member; and

a distal cap melt formed from a distal end of the tapered portion of the expandable member to close the distal end of the expandable member, the distal end of the tapered portion of the expandable member being melt formed to have a flat proximal face and a body formed from a wall of the expandable member, and an inner compartment being formed in the distal region of the expandable member by the flat proximal face of the distal cap and the body of the distal cap and having a diameter less than the diameter of the proximal region of the expandable member, the inner compartment having a cylindrical shape and being sized with a constant diameter to receive the inner tube therein.

10. The catheter of claim 9 , wherein the inner compartment is sealed by the distal cap.

11. The catheter of claim 9 , wherein the distal cap is configured to prevent flow of a light-sensitive liquid from inside to outside of the expandable member and an ingress of bodily fluids inside the expandable member.

12. The catheter of claim 11 , wherein the light-sensitive liquid is configured to be delivered into the expandable member to expand the expandable member.

13. The catheter of claim 9 , wherein the inner compartment is sized and shaped to enable the inner tube to free float within the inner compartment.

14. The catheter of claim 9 , wherein an inner void is formed between the inner tube and the outer tube and in fluid communication with the expandable member to deliver a light-sensitive liquid into the expandable member.
