20140309722 | STENT APPARATUS - An object is to surely hold a stent formed of a biodegradable polymer and shape memorized to an expanded size having a diameter larger than an inner diameter of a vessel on a balloon in contracted state. A stent apparatus comprises a stent formed of a biodegradable polymer material using polylactic acid having a shape memory property as a tubular shape and shape memorized to a size capable of scaffolding a vessel from the inside when implanted in the vessel; and a stent holding member formed of a biodegradable polymer material for covering the outer surface of the stent to hold the stent in a contracted state that is smaller in diameter than the shape memorized size, wherein a stent detecting member is attached to the stent and a part of the stent holding member is fixed to the stent detecting member. | 10-16-2014 |
20130345787 | MEDICAL CATHETER APPARATUS - A catheter apparatus comprising a catheter and a sheath are provided. The catheter has a distal end to which an insertion guiding member is attached, provided at its distal end with a balloon to expand a vascular stent, and provided with an expansion medium supplying channel for supplying an expansion medium to inflate the balloon and with a guide wire insertion channel for inserting a guide wire. The sheath is operated to move relative to the catheter between the section where it is covering the balloon attaching the vascular stent and the section where it is supposed to expose the vascular stent attached to the balloon. A first movement restrictor and a second movement restrictor are provided, thereby restricting movable position such that excessive movement of the sheath is restricted, injuring of a blood vessel is prevented and the stent is implanted to a desired site in a blood vessel. | 12-26-2013 |
20130297002 | STENT APPARATUS - Present invention is a stent apparatus in which a stent to scaffold a vessel from the inside is held by a stent covering member comprising: a tubular cartridge expandable and contractible in radial direction, the expansion of which in axial direction orthogonal to the radial direction being restricted; a stent formed of a biodegradable polymer as a tubular shape, shape memorized to an expanded size larger than an inner diameter of a target blood vessel in which the stent is to be implanted, and mounted to the tubular cartridge in contracted state; and a stent covering member formed of a biodegradable polymer having elasticity as a cylindrical shape having an inner diameter to keep the stent in contracted state by holding an outer surface of the stent and, when the stent is expanded to the shape memorized shape, plastically deformed to release the holding of the stent. | 11-07-2013 |
20130131778 | STENT COVER MEMBER AND STENT APPARATUS - Present invention is a stent apparatus wherein a stent covering member holds a stent, which scaffolds a blood vessel from the inside when implanted in the blood vessel, in contracted state. The stent is formed of a biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) as a tubular shape, shape memorized to a size capable of, when implanted in a vessel, scaffolding the blood vessel from the inside. This stent is held by the stent covering member in contracted state and mounted on a balloon of a balloon. The covering member is formed of a biodegradable polymer having elasticity as a cylindrical shape having an inner diameter to keep the stent in contracted state and, when the stent is expanded to the shape memorized shape, plastically deformed to release the holding of the stent. The stent and the stent covering member disappear in a vessel after they are implanted in the vessel. | 05-23-2013 |
20120245669 | MEDICAL CATHETER DEVICE - Medical catheter apparatus used for implanting a vascular stent into a vessel of a living body comprising a catheter including a distal portion where a balloon attaching a vascular stent is provided, and a sheath into which the catheter is inserted and to be moved relative to the catheter between the section where it covers the balloon on which a vascular stent is mounted and the section where it exposes the vascular stent mounted on the balloon. The sheath comprises a first tubular member covering the distal portion at which the balloon is provided, and a second tubular member covering the proximal portion of the catheter and connected with the first tubular member. The first tubular member is formed of a tubular member capable of flexible deformation and the second tubular member is formed of a tubular member less extensible in the axial direction than the first tubular member. | 09-27-2012 |
