20140046250 | STEERABLE ELEMENT FOR USE IN SURGERY - A steerable element for use in surgery, comprising: an inflatable member; and an elongate frame azimuthally surrounding said inflatable member, wherein: said inflatable member is configured to press against said elongate frame on inflation so as to cause a change in the curvature of said elongate frame. A catheter, an insertion system, a medical implant comprising the steerable element, a delivery system comprising the steerable element, and a method of configuring the steerable element for use. | 02-13-2014 |
20130231731 | BLOOD VESSEL PROSTHESIS AND DELIVERY APPARATUS - A method is described for delivering a prosthesis to a branch region of a blood vessel, the branch region having first and second blood vessel branches, the prosthesis comprising a main conduit and first and second branch conduits. The method includes inserting a first guide wire in the blood vessel such that it extends through the blood vessel into the first blood vessel branch; inserting a second guide wire in the blood vessel such that it extends through the blood vessel into the second blood vessel branch; moving the prosthesis to the branch region by moving the first branch conduit along the first guide wire and the second branch conduit along the second guide wire; and moving the first/second branch conduit along the first/second guide wire from a first position in which they project inside the main conduit to a second position in which they project out from the main conduit. | 09-05-2013 |
20100280450 | CATHETER APPARATUS - A catheter apparatus is provided with lumens for accommodating guidewires. The apparatus comprises an actuator controllable to move the distal ends of the lumens relative to each other. Accordingly, the separation of the guidewires can be controlled, enabling probing by the guidewires of different area of an occlusion in a blood vessel, such as a chronic total occlusion. | 11-04-2010 |
