A61M2025/0064 - CPC Classification

Classification description:

Catheters; Hollow probes characterised by structural features having means, e.g. stylets, mandrils, rods or wires to reinforce or adjust temporarily the stiffness, column strength or pushability of catheters which are already inserted into the human body which become stiffer or softer when heated
