First Claim
Patent Images
1. An implantable medical endoprosthesis delivery system, comprising:
- an inner member having a first lumen disposed therein;
an outer member at least partially surrounding the inner member so that a second lumen is disposed between the inner and outer members, the second lumen being configured so that an implantable medical endoprosthesis can be disposed therein; and
a hub including a fluid introduction port, a first fluid flow path in fluid communication with the fluid introduction port, and a second fluid flow path in fluid communication with the fluid introduction port, wherein the first flow path is in fluid communication with the first lumen and the second flow path is in fluid communication with the second lumen.

24. A hub, comprising:
-
a body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal bore that extends from the proximal end to the distal end, the longitudinal bore having a first segment having a first inner diameter at the distal end, and the longitudinal bore having a second segment having a second inner diameter at a position proximal the first segment, the second inner diameter being larger than the first inner diameter;
an inner collar disposed within the second segment of the bore and having an outer diameter less than the second inner diameter, the inner collar having an inner collar bore extending longitudinally therethrough and having an inner collar bore diameter; and
at least one connector connecting the inner collar to the body;
wherein the at least one connector does not extend completely around the circumference of the inner collar, the inner collar bore and body bore sharing a common longitudinal axis. - View Dependent Claims (25)
