The device includes a coupling structure secured to two different strand end portions that are substantially aligned with each other. The two different strand end portions include nickel and titanium. The coupling structure is not a strand of the device. | 08-21-2014 |
20140048097 | SURFACE OXIDE REMOVAL METHODS - Methods of treating a device such as an endoprostheses or a batch thereof include first soaking the device in nitric acid for greater than 1 hour; after first soaking the device, first sonicating the device in deionized water for between about 5 minutes and about 20 minutes; and after first sonicating the device, repeating, at least once, soaking the device in nitric acid for greater than 1 hour, and, after soaking the device in the nitric acid, sonicating the device in deionized water between about 5 minutes and about 20 minutes. Methods may further include soaking in a mild acid for between about 30 minutes and about 45 minutes. The methods may form a protective oxide having a thickness between about 30 Å and about 100 Å. | 02-20-2014 |
20120330398 | PLAIN WOVEN STENTS - Methods for treating a femoro-popliteal artery of a patient include delivering a self-expanding, woven stent from a delivery system. The methods may include delivering a guidewire to a lesion in the femoro-popliteal artery and advancing the delivery system over the guidewire. | 12-27-2012 |

20110295354 | STENT DELIVERY SYSTEM WITH PUSHER ASSEMBLY - A pusher assembly for a stent delivery device includes a distal end of an elongate member and a stent-engaging member having proximal and distal ends. The proximal end of the stent-engaging member is mechanically coupled to the distal end of the inner member by a connector, or the proximal end of the stent-engaging member is at least partially inside the distal end of the elongate inner member. The stent-engaging member includes a portion that radially outwardly extends towards the distal end of the stent-engaging member, or the stent-engaging member includes a portion that radially outwardly extends towards the distal end of the stent-engaging member. The stent-engaging member is configured to move a stent when distally advanced and configured to not move a stent when proximally retracted. A stent delivery device includes an elongate outer member, an elongate inner member coaxially positioned within the outer member, and the pusher assembly. | 12-01-2011 |
