20100094201 | ASSISTED ASPIRATION CATHETER SYSTEM - A thrombectomy system comprising an aspiration catheter having an aspiration lumen and a high pressure irrigation lumen, the aspiration catheter having a proximal end and a distal, and a control box fluidly connected to the aspiration catheter and configured to synchronously provide irrigation and vacuum through the aspiration catheter. | 04-15-2010 |
20100204712 | NEUROVASCULAR MICROCATHETER DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR USE THEREOF - The present invention relates to neurovascular thrombectomy devices that include an occlusion microcatheter and fluid-assisted microcatheter fitted within the occlusion microcatheter. Also provided are systems and methods for neurovascular thrombectomy using the devices of the invention. | 08-12-2010 |
20110291844 | WATER ALARM - The present invention provides an alarm for detecting and alerting of a water spill, having an audible transducer angled for optimally transmitting an alarm sound into a space adjacent to the alarm. | 12-01-2011 |
20130190700 | RAPID EXCHANGE CATHETERS HAVING A SEALED GUIDEWIRE LUMEN AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME - Methods and devices for preventing fluid flow through the relatively short guidewire lumen of a rapid exchange catheter. The guidewire lumen for a rapid exchange catheter is provided with a narrowed or sealed section allowing for passage of a guidewire therethrough while preventing fluid flow while a guidewire is disposed therethrough. The narrowed or sealed section extends for a relatively short length of the guidewire lumen to avoid creating excessive friction between the guidewire and the guidewire lumen. In several embodiments the narrowed or sealed section is placed proximal of the distal end of the guidewire lumen. | 07-25-2013 |
20140058426 | METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR POSITIONING AND MAINTAINING THE POSITION OF ENDOSCOPIC INSTRUMENTS - The present invention provides an apparatus for, and a method of, accurate positioning of endoscopic instruments. Accurate positioning of the instruments is accomplished through the inclusion of a steering ability within the device. After the endoscopic instrument is properly positioned, the present invention may use rapid exchange technology, soft locks, and mechanical locks to maintain the position of the endoscopic instrument. Rapid exchange technology is used to minimize displacement forces present on the guidewire or catheters. Soft locks and mechanical locks resist movements caused by displacement forces. | 02-27-2014 |
20150327875 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REMOVAL OF BLOOD AND THROMBOTIC MATERIAL - A system for aspirating thrombus includes a catheter having a supply lumen having a distal end and an aspiration lumen configured to couple to a vacuum source and having an interior wall surface and an open distal end, an orifice at or near the distal end of the supply lumen, in fluid communication with the interior of the aspiration lumen, the orifice located proximally of the open distal end of the aspiration lumen, wherein the orifice is configured to create a spray pattern that impinges on the interior wall surface of the aspiration lumen when a distal end of the aspiration catheter is immersed within an aqueous environment, and a disposable tubing set having a first conduit configured to couple the supply lumen of the aspiration catheter to a fluid source, and a pump component associated with the first conduit and configured to detachably couple to a drive unit. | 11-19-2015 |
