20080269768 | Bone screw holding device - A screw holding device has a screw engaging part and a fixation sleeve. The screw for use with the screw holding device has a head and a shaft. The head of the bone screw has a recess and a notch. The screw engaging part has two halves with a hook formed on each half. The hook is shaped to fit in the notch.

20110160848 | METHODS FOR CROSSING A HEART VALVE - The present invention provides for methods of using guide wires adapted for passage across a heart valve. The guide wires have an increased diameter and a shorter, relatively floppy distal tip; the increased diameter providing improved pushability to facilitate positioning in a blood jet and passage through a heart valve. The distal tip comprises a section of rectangular cross-section that, in conjunction with the decreased tip length, causes the distal tip to vibrate, or “dance”, when positioned within a blood jet at the outlet of a heart valve. This vibratory motion may be used to position the distal tip within the blood jet, thus facilitating passage through the valve without damage to leaflets of the valve or emboli generation. | 06-30-2011 |

The wire coil has a guide wire tip arranged at a distal end, a core wire being arranged in the lumen of the hollow shaft to control the flexibility of the guide wire. The core wire extends out of the lumen and through the wire coil to the guide wire tip. A distal inner area of the wire coil adjacent to the guide wire tip in a proximal direction communicates with the lumen of the hollow shaft by means of a fluid channel formed next to the core wire and has at least one outwardly open passage opening for the fluid to be introduced or removed. | 09-20-2012 |
20130239396 | COLD-MOLDING PROCESS FOR LOADING A STENT ONTO A STENT DELIVERY SYSTEM - A method of making a stent delivery system is provided in which a delivery catheter has a balloon that extends non-uniformly into interstices of a stent. In accordance with the method a balloon/stent/crimping tube assembly is placed in a crimping tool, the balloon is inflated, and the crimping tool is actuated to compress the stent on the outside of the balloon without application of heat or chemicals, thereby causing creases of the balloon to extend non-uniformly into the interstices of the stent. Optionally, pillows may be formed in the balloon to prevent longitudinal movement of the stent with respect to the balloon during intravascular delivery. One or more secondary crimpings also may be performed to achieve a smoother delivery profile. | 09-19-2013 |
