The infusion catheter is formed with a catheter lumen extending from a proximal end connector assembly to a distal end valve that is normally closed but is penetrable to allow introduction of a guidewire through the catheter lumen and distal end valve and to thereby allow advancement of the infusion catheter over the guidewire, thereby allowing access of the distal infusion segment …

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 19, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended May 19, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 19, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
