20090062846 | CLOSURE MEDICAL DEVICE - A closure device for closing a puncture wound has a distal section that can be placed against the interior wall of a vessel and a proximal section that bunches in the tissue tract to close the wound. | 03-05-2009 |
20090062847 | CLOSURE MEDICAL DEVICE - A closure device for closing a puncture wound has a distal section that can be placed against the interior wall of a vessel and a proximal section that bunches in the tissue tract to close the wound. | 03-05-2009 |
20090062848 | CLOSURE MEDICAL DEVICE - A closure device for closing a puncture wound has a distal section that can be placed against the interior wall of a vessel and a proximal section that bunches in the tissue tract to close the wound. One variation of the device provides for removing the distal section from the vessel so that it resides also in the tissue tract after the proximal section has been securely bunched and lodged within the tissue tract in order to provide unobstructed fluid flow in the vessel. | 03-05-2009 |
20090062850 | CLOSURE MEDICAL DEVICE - A closure device for closing a puncture wound has a distal section that can be placed against the interior wall of a vessel and a proximal section that bunches in the tissue tract to close the wound. | 03-05-2009 |
20120253385 | CLOSURE MEDICAL DEVICE AND DELIVERY MECHANISM - A delivery mechanism for deploying a closure device includes several slidable members, a plunger, and attachments to tension members of the closure device. Deployment of the closure device includes controlling placement and expansion of the device within tissue using the tension members, the plunger, and the slidable members. | 10-04-2012 |
20120316636 | LOCK/FLOATING MARKER BAND ON PUSHER WIRE FOR SELF-EXPANDING STENTS OR MEDICAL DEVICES - An apparatus for deploying and retrieving a self-expanding intravascular stent includes an intravascular delivery wire and floating marker band movably retained over the intravascular stent delivery wire and releasably mounting the self-expanding intravascular stent. The floating marker band is movably retained to a fixed marker band, and a distance between the fixed marker band and the floating marker band is variable and self-adjusting. One or more struts of the self-expanding intravascular stent are releasably constrained between a catheter wall and one or more sides of the floating marker band. | 12-13-2012 |
20140236276 | LOCK/FLOATING MARKER BAND ON PUSHER WIRE FOR SELF-EXPANDING STENTS OR MEDICAL DEVICES - An apparatus for deploying and retrieving a self-expanding intravascular stent includes an intravascular delivery wire and floating marker band movably retained over the intravascular stent delivery wire and releasably mounting the self-expanding intravascular stent. The floating marker band is movably retained to a fixed marker band, and a distance between the fixed marker band and the floating marker band is variable and self-adjusting. One or more struts of the self-expanding intravascular stent are releasably constrained between a catheter wall and one or more sides of the floating marker band. | 08-21-2014 |
20150297238 | GEOMETRIC COIL - The invention is an embolic coil having a complex secondary shape based on extensions of the coil into planes orthogonal to the length of the coil. A spring coil is wound on a secondary shaping mandrel having branched extensions positioned sequentially along the length of the linear base mandrel. The spring coil is wound around the base mandrel and the branches that extend or protrude from the base in successive increments creating coil extensions. The secondary wind is stress-relieved. The resulting occupation of space by the secondary shape of the embolic coil is space-filling with extensions into two or more planes, the extensions alternating along the length of the somewhat compressed coil. The invention allows a spring coil to act like a compression coil in its secondary shape. | 10-22-2015 |
