Devices and methods for endovascular electrography
First Claim
1. An adapter for an endovascular device, comprising:
- a body, including;
a first open end designed to be connected to a luer of a catheter,a second open end designed to be connected to a fluid source,a central lumen, having a substantially cylindrical surface, extending from the first open end to the second open end, the substantially cylindrical surface including a recessed portion, anda channel extending from the central lumen to an external opening;
a conductive metal ring disposed in the recessed portion, the conductive metal ring separated from the catheter by a section of the body when the first open end of the body is connected to the luer of the catheter; and
a conductive wire, including;
a distal end in contact with the conductive metal ring, anda proximal end extending through the channel at least to the external opening.

Abstract
An adapter for an endovascular device and a catheter steering device are provided. The adapter for an endovascular device includes a body, a conductive metal ring and a conductive wire. The body includes a first open end, a second open end, a central lumen having a substantially cylindrical surface extending from the first open end to the second open end, and a channel extending from the central lumen to an external opening. The conductive metal ring is attached to the surface of the central lumen, and the conductive wire is coupled to the conductive metal ring and extends through the channel and the external opening. The steering device for a catheter that has a plurality of lumens with spaced distal openings includes a stylet for disposition within one of the plurality of lumens, and a steering member for disposition within a different one of the plurality of lumens. In the installed position, the stylet and the steering member are connected together at respective distal ends such that a portion of the steering member is disposed outside of the distal end of the catheter.
