20130173016 | URETERAL STENT - The present disclosure relates to a stent for placing in a body passage of a patient. The stent has an elongated portion having a proximal end and a distal end. The elongated portion defines a lumen throughout the stent. The stent has a proximal anchoring member on the proximal end of the elongated portion and a distal anchoring member on the distal end of the elongated portion. The anchoring member comprises a wall curving outward from each end of the elongated portion of the stent. | 07-04-2013 |
20120022398 | BIOPSY DEVICE - A mechanism for sequentially loading and unloading a biopsy instrument includes a first wheel operatively connected with a cannula, the first wheel being rotatably mounted upon an axle such that the axle urges rotation of the first wheel in a first direction to transfer the cannula and the first wheel to a loaded position, the first wheel being configured for selective rotation with respect to the axle in a second direction to transfer the cannula and the first wheel to an unloaded position. A second wheel is operatively connected with a stylet, the second wheel being configured to be rotated by the axle in the first direction when the first wheel is in the loaded position, the second wheel configured for rotation relative to the axle to transfer the stylet and second wheel from the loaded to unloaded position. The second wheel is operatively engaged with the first wheel to allow partial rotation of the second wheel in the second direction with respect to the first wheel and urging similar rotation of the first wheel in the second direction after at least some duration of relative rotation of the second wheel with respect to the second wheel. | 01-26-2012 |
20100280311 | Adaptor for an Endoscope - An adaptor and a kit including an adaptor are provided. The adaptor is configured to connect an elongate medical device to an endoscope. The adaptor includes a first portion having a distal end sized and shaped to connect to an endoscope. The first portion includes a first opening defined therethrough. The adaptor further includes a second portion connectable to the first portion and including a second opening defined through the second portion and operably connectable to the first lumen. The second portion includes a connector at a proximal end portion sized and shaped to receive at least a portion of the elongate medical device so that a shaft of the elongate medical device is extendable distally through the first opening and the second opening and into the endoscope when the elongate medical device is connected to the adaptor. | 11-04-2010 |
20100168834 | Delivery Device - A delivery device for deploying an expandable prosthesis and method of use thereof are described. The delivery device includes an outer sheath that is capable of retracting in a proximal direction and resheathing over the prosthesis in a distal direction. The device includes a drive pulley that can engage gears to retract or resheath the outer catheter in relation to the prosthesis. In some embodiments, the delivery device may include a reinforced outer sheath disposed over an inner elongate member, the reinforced outer sheath comprising a proximal section reinforced with a braid, a distal section reinforced with a coil and an overlapping section extending between the proximal section and the distal section. Additionally or alternatively, the delivery device may include a stabilizing element for releasably holding the stent to the inner catheter. | 07-01-2010 |
20090221873 | Adaptor for Endoscopic Orientation of an Elongate Medical Device - An adaptor, a system and a method to orient an elongate medical device in relation to an endoscope are provided. The adaptor includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a connecting portion to rotationally securable to a distal end of the first portion to the endoscope, a first lumen extending longitudinally through the first portion and operably connectable to a working channel of the endoscope, and one of an orienting key or a keyway extending longitudinally at least partially along the first portion. The second portion is releasably connectable to the first portion and includes the other of the key or the keyway extending longitudinally along at least a portion of the second portion and a second lumen operably connectable to the first lumen and configured to receive an elongate medical device rotationally secured in relation to the second portion therethrough. | 09-03-2009 |
