| 20090048662 | IMPLANTABLE VASCULAR DEVICE - A multiple-sided medical device comprises a frame comprising wire or other resilient material and having a series of bends and interconnecting sides. The device has both a flat configuration and a second, folded configuration which a generally serpentine shape. The device is pushed from a delivery catheter into the lumen of a duct or vessel and may include one or more barbs for anchoring purposes. A full or partial covering of fabric or other flexible material such as DACRON, PTFE, or a collagen-based material such as small intestinal submucosa (SIS), may be sutured or attached to the frame to form an occlusion device, a stent graft, or an implantable, intraluminal valve such as for correcting incompetent veins in the lower legs and feet. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090069758 | ENHANCED REMODELABLE MATERIALS FOR OCCLUDING BODILY VESSELS AND RELATED METHODS AND SYSTEMS - Described are methods, devices, and systems for occluding or ablating vascular vessels. Noninvasive procedures can be used to occlude and obliterate the greater saphenous vein, for example in the treatment of varicose vein condition caused by venous valve insufficiency. Further described is the cooperative use of an angiogenic remodelable material with one or more sclerosing agents to cause closure of a targeted bodily vessel. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090082851 | VARIABLE STIFFNESS WIRE GUIDE - The present invention provides a wire guide having a variable stiffness region that may be selectively adjusted to vary the stiffness along a portion of the wire guide. The wire guide generally comprises an outer core member and an inner core member, wherein the inner core member is disposed for longitudinal movement with respect to the outer core member. The outer core member is attached to a proximal end of a coiled member, while the inner core member is attached to the coiled member at an attachment region between proximal and distal ends of the coiled member. In operation, distal advancement of the outer core member with respect to the inner core member causes the coiled member to compress at a location between the proximal end of the coiled member and the attachment region, thereby selectively increasing the stiffness along a portion of the length of the wire guide. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20090157169 | IMPLANTABLE VASCULAR DEVICE - A multiple-sided medical device comprises a frame comprising wire or other resilient material and having a series of bends and interconnecting sides. The device has both a flat configuration and a second, folded configuration which a generally serpentine shape. The device is pushed from a delivery catheter into the lumen of a duct or vessel and may include one or more barbs for anchoring purposes. A full or partial covering of fabric or other flexible material such as DACRON, PTFE, or a collagen-based material such as small intestinal submucosa (SIS), may be sutured or attached to the frame using heat or pressure welding crimping, adhesive, or other techniques to form an occlusion device, a stent graft, or an implantable, intraluminal valve such as for correcting incompetent veins in the lower legs and feet. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20110152897 | HERNIA PATCH WITH REMOVABLE RESILIENT ELEMENT - The invention provides, in certain aspects, grafting devices deliverable into the body for repairing defects in bodily structure walls. One such grafting device comprises a compliant sheet-form material, and a removable resilient element that is retained in association with the sheet-form material. In some forms, the resilient element is adapted for delivery in its entirety into the body, and thereafter, can be disassociated from the sheet-form material for removal from the body. The sheet-form material may be formed with one or more of a variety of biocompatible materials including some that are naturally derived and some that are non-naturally derived. Illustratively, the sheet-form material may be comprised of a remodelable, angiogenic material, for example, a remodelable extracellular matrix (ECM) material. In additional embodiments, the invention provides methods and apparatuses for delivering these and other inventive grafting device into the body. | 06-23-2011 |
