| 20080249464 | Catheter Having Internal Mechanisms to Encourage Balloon Re-folding - A balloon catheter that comprises an inner shaft, a balloon and a sleeve that defines a lumen. A portion of the inner shaft is positioned within the lumen and the balloon is engaged to the sleeve at least two engagement points. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20090012596 | Stent with Bioabsorbable Membrane - In at least one embodiment, the invention is directed to a stent having a tubular wall where at least a portion of the tubular wall comprises a bioabsorbable membrane. In the portion of the tubular wall containing the bioabsorbable membrane, the members (e.g. struts and connectors) of the stent are embedded in the bioabsorbable membrane. In at least one embodiment, the stent is also configured to elute a therapeutic agent. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090012599 | Biodegradable Connectors - An expandable bifurcated stent is formed of a main body and a first branch. The body wall is made up of interconnected stent members that define a plurality of cells, at least one of which is a side opening. The first branch body extends from the body wall from at least two regions adjacent the side opening. At least one stent member adjacent the perimeter is bioabsorbable. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20100069917 | IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL ENDOPROSTHESIS DELIVERY SYSTEM WITH HUB - Medical device delivery systems, components, and methods are provided. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100070023 | BIODEGRADABLE CONNECTORS - An expandable bifurcated stent is formed of a main body and a first branch. The body wall is made up of interconnected stent members that define a plurality of cells, at least one of which is a side opening. The first branch body extends from the body wall from at least two regions adjacent the side opening. At least one stent member adjacent the perimeter is bioabsorbable. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100132718 | Occlusion Stent - A device for occluding a target body lumen, comprises a wire structure defining a wire structure lumen extending therethrough and movable between a reduced diameter insertion configuration and an expanded diameter deployed configuration and a basket structure extending across the wire structure lumen and including therein a cell growth promoting agent to promote cell growth across the wire structure lumen to occlude the target body lumen. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100241070 | BALLOON CATHETER FOR DISTAL PROTECTION COMPATABILITY - A balloon catheter that may include a catheter shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, the catheter shaft having a core having an outer surface, the core extending to the distal end of the catheter shaft, the catheter shaft having a tubular member disposed about the core, the tubular member having an inner surface and an outer surface, and an inflation lumen between the tubular member inner surface and the tubular member outer surface, and an inflatable member having a proximal cone, a distal cone and a central section therebetween, the central section having proximal and distal ends, the proximal and distal cones defining an inflation cavity, the inflatable member further comprising a proximal waist affixing the proximal cone to the outer surface of the tubular member and a distal waist affixing the distal cone to the outer surface of the core, wherein the inflatable member is configured such that the distance along the longitudinal axis between the distal end of the central section and the distal waist is less than the distance between the proximal end of the central section and the proximal waist, wherein the inflation lumen is fluidly connected to the inflation cavity. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100312322 | Medical Balloon Incorporating Electroactive Polymer and Methods of Making and Using the Same - An expandable medical balloon having at least one static state, at least one expanded state, and at least one deflated state, the expandable medical balloon including at least one active region, the at least one active region including electroactive polymer. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110152912 | Catheter Having Internal Mechanisms to Encourage Balloon Re-folding - A balloon catheter that comprises an inner shaft, a balloon and a sleeve that defines a lumen. A portion of the inner shaft is positioned within the lumen and the balloon is engaged to the sleeve at least two engagement points. | 06-23-2011 |
