Patent ID: 7490722

Claim:
An apparatus for presenting and storing medical guide wires, catheters, stents, and other such delivery platform devices during interventional or diagnostic endovascular procedures and disposing of waste bodily fluids collected and said devices used during said procedure comprising: a) a base of generally cylindrical shape having a closed bottom, an open top, an inside wall, an outside wall, an internal cylindrical reservoir that is co-axial with and annular to said base, with a plurality of outward extending flanges equally spaced about said reservoir's outside wall perimeter, extending from the bottom to the top of said reservoir's outside wall; b) a plurality of baffles that stack inside said base between said base internal wall and the outside edges of said flanges after each of said plurality of baffles is rotated or indexed by one position for each successive baffle, where said baffles are annular rings with upstanding external and internal baffle walls connected with a bottom baffle wall, wherein said internal upstanding wall is broken for a sufficient angle to allow said bottom wall to extend inward between one set of said flanges until it contacts said outside wall of said reservoir making a bottom for an access pocket at each of said baffle levels where said access pocket is bounded by said inward extension of said bottom baffle wall, right and left sides walls by said flanges, said outside wall of said reservoir and said upstanding internal walls of above stacked baffles and open from bottom side of a top plate through said broken upstanding internal baffle wall into an annular channel or bin; c) a circular top plate with upstanding and distending perimeter walls, a plurality of access holes which are centered over each of said access pockets, wherein said guidewire and other such devices can be stored by being inserted through said access holes, fed down through said access pockets to said pocket bottoms, turned outward through said break in internal upstanding baffle wall and fed circumferentially around said channel formed by said baffle's upstanding walls, bottom and the bottom of the above baffle in said stack or withdrawn fully or partially, used and returned without danger of tangling or contamination since said devices are isolated in their own bin level, a center section which slopes downward toward the center where it joins a reservoir access hole directly above said reservoir to capture runoff of bodily fluids; d) a sealing lid with a distending perimeter wall that can be attached to said top plate at the end of said procedure after said disposable devices are fully inserted into their bins and said waste fluids have been collected in said reservoir, making a sealed disposable package with no danger of spills or accidental exposure of disposal personnel to said waste fluids or coiled devices.
