| 20110196473 | METHODS FOR MAKING AN ENCAPSULATED STENT AND INTRALUMINAL DELIVERY THEREOF - A method for making an encapsulated stent includes providing a first seamless unsintered ePTFE tube, providing a second seamless sintered ePTFE tube, positioning a self-expanding stent between the first and second ePTFE tubes to form an assembly, disposing an ePTFE interlayer member between the first and second ePTFE tubes, and joining the first ePTFE tube to the second ePTFE tube through openings in a wall of the stent by applying first pressure, and then heat, to the assembly. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110118823 | ANCHORING DEVICE FOR AN ENDOLUMINAL PROSTHESIS - An endoluminal prosthesis including a radially expandable frame and an anchoring member. The anchoring member includes a first arm attached to a first strut of the frame and a second arm attached to a second adjacent strut of the frame. The first arm is joined to the second arm to form a vessel engaging end that, together with at least a portion of the first arm and second arm, is directed toward a central axis of the frame in the frame's collapsed configuration. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20100298696 | SELF-CONTAINED, SELF-PIERCING, SIDE-EXPELLING MARKING APPARATUS - A marking apparatus includes a rigid cannula having a peripheral wall forming a lumen that carries an imaging marker, a proximal end coupled to a handle, a lateral opening in the peripheral wall that is open to the lumen, and a closed-off distal portion having a ramp adjacent the lumen. The closed-off distal portion extends distally from the ramp to terminate at a tissue piercing pointed tip. The ramp of the rigid cannula is curved to transition from the peripheral wall of the rigid cannula to the lateral opening of the rigid cannula. The ramp of the rigid cannula is adapted to engage the distal end of the stylet as the stylet is advanced through the lumen of the rigid cannula to guide the distal end of the stylet to a position to substantially close off the lateral opening of the rigid cannula having the tissue piercing tip. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20100210966 | Firing System For Biopsy Device - A biopsy system for harvesting tissue samples from a suspect tissue mass in a body of a living being, e.g. in per-cutaneous aspiration biopsy, comprises a hollow needle ( | 08-19-2010 |
| 20090093714 | APPARATUS FOR THE PERCUTANEOUS MARKING OF A LESION - A biopsy marking apparatus for placing a radiopaque marker at the location of a percutaneous biopsy. The biopsy marking apparatus comprises an introducer in combination with a radiopaque marker. The introducer ejects the radiopaque marker at the location of the biopsy. The introducer is configured to completely eject the radiopaque marker and prevent it from being subsequently drawn into the introducer as the introducer is removed from the biopsied tissue mass. The radiopaque marker has enhanced radiopaque characteristics and enhanced non-migration characteristics. | 04-09-2009 |
