20160067454 | EXPANDABLE SHEATH ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF USING SAME - An expandable sheath assembly includes a support body extending from a proximal end to a distal end. A guide rod is interconnected to the support body and extends between the ends along an axis. A dilator extends from the guide rod for insertion into a body vessel, and a hub is releasable connected to the distal end of the support body. A distal sheath overlays the dilator, and a hemostatic valve is slidably disposed along the axis. A proximal sheath extends from the hemostatic valve and is disposed in surrounding and coaxial relationship with the guide rod. The proximal sheath is concurrently slidable with the hemostatic valve along axis to advance the proximal sheath through the hub and interleave the proximal sheath between the dilator and the distal sheath for lifting the distal sheath from the dilator and effectuating an expansion of the body vessel. | 03-10-2016 |
20160074067 | EXPANDABLE INTRODUCER SHEATH - An expandable introducer sheath for use in inserting a medical device into a body vessel of a patient includes a body which extends from a proximal end to a distal end along an axis. The body includes an inner layer, an outer layer, and an expandable reinforcement member which is disposed between said inner and outer layers. The expandable reinforcement member is configured to radially expand as the medical device is axially advanced or retracted through said introducer sheath. Once the medical device has exited the introducer sheath, the expandable reinforcement member facilitates a return of the introducer sheath to its original or unexpanded condition. | 03-17-2016 |
20160074624 | MODULAR HANDLE ASSEMBLY FOR A STEERABLE CATHETER - A modular handle assembly for supporting and controlling a steerable catheter having at least one deflection wires includes a handle extending along an axis for being secured about a portion of the steerable catheter. The modular handle assembly includes at least one barrel rotatably connected to the handle for rotation about the axis, and at least one spindle disposed in and connected with said barrel for rotation about the axis with the barrel. At least one guide cable extends from an anchored end being anchored to the spindle to a distant end for connection with one of the deflection wires of the steerable catheter. The guide cable is wrapped about the spindle for axially moving the deflection wires in response to rotation of the first spindle about the axis by the barrel to curl the distal tip of the elongated body of the steerable catheter. | 03-17-2016 |

20140362419 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR FAX DELIVERY AND MAINTENANCE - This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for the delivery and maintenance of faxes where the faxes may remain at a faxing system for a minimal amount of time. The faxing system may send a queued fax to a connector responsive to a request from the connector to pull or retrieve a fax. The connector is configured to send a release notification to the faxing system after the fax is received. The faxing system is configured to delete the queued fax as soon as confirmation of the delivery of the fax can be determined or when an expiration time has elapsed. | 12-11-2014 |

20140332488 | Crane Access Staircase and Mounting System - An access system for facilitating access to an elevated deck of a mobile crane includes a staircase having a support post defining an axis of inclination. A plurality of ascending steps is connected to the at least one support post, and a mounting bracket is pivotally coupled to an upper end of the at least one support post. The staircase is pivotable about a longitudinal axis such that a lower end of the at least one support post is induced to move in a lateral direction in response to pivotal motion of the at least one support post. A caster is coupled to the lower end of the support post for supporting the staircase on a ground surface. The caster supports the staircase on the ground surface throughout longitudinal movements of the staircase and lateral movements of the staircase induced by vertical movements of the mobile crane. | 11-13-2014 |

20120059356 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REMOVING MATERIAL FROM A HOLLOW ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE - A medical device for removing a material from a hollow anatomical structure is provided. The device includes a radially expandable capture member. The device includes a treatment segment that is positioned distally of the capture member in use and having at least one exit port adapted for delivering a fluid agent to the material. The device includes an embolic capture device that is positioned distally of the treatment segment in use and including a radially expandable filter for capturing a part of the material which travels downstream of the treatment segment. Additionally, a method is provided herein for infusing, injecting, distributing, or releasing an intended fluid into a hollow anatomical structure. | 03-08-2012 |
20140276470 | Dialysis Catheters with Fluoropolymer Additives - A venous access catheter shaft and method of using and manufacturing such a catheter is provided. In one aspect of the invention, a catheter is provided comprising a base polymer having a Shore A durometer of 85A or lower, with 2.0% percent by weight of surface modifier, and a radiopaque filler comprising between 20-40 percentage by weight. In another aspect of the invention, a method reducing thrombus accumulation on a venous access catheter is provided wherein the catheter surface's resistance to thrombus formation is enhanced during indwell time by lowering the durometer rating of the base polymer of the catheter without increasing the amount of surface modifier additive. In another aspect of the invention, a method of manufacturing a catheter shaft is provided, wherein the shaft is formed comprising a base polymer having a Shore A durometer of 85A or lower, with 2.0% percent by weight of surface modifier, and a radiopaque filler comprising 30% by weight barium sulfate, and optionally a colorant of 0.2% weight. | 09-18-2014 |
