604103110 | Of elastic inflated material | 11 |
20110009819 | CROSS-LINKED POLYMERS IN MEDICAL DEVICES - The present invention refers to medical devices comprising cross-linked modified polyamides especially to stent carrying balloon catheters, for use in angioplasty and other procedures of vessel repair. | 01-13-2011 |
20110196298 | Catheter Assembly - A catheter assembly | 08-11-2011 |
20120215167 | BALLOON CATHETER WITH ELASTIC SEGMENT - The present invention relates to a catheter comprising an outer tube; an inner tube; and a balloon fixed at its proximal sleeve to the outer tube and at its distal sleeve to the inner tube, wherein the inner tube comprises an elastic segment. | 08-23-2012 |
20140350465 | Devices and Methods for Delivering Therapeutic Substances for the Treatment of Sinusitis and Other Disorders - Devices and methods for delivering drugs and other therapeutic or diagnostic substances to desired locations within the bodies of human or non-human animal subjects. An implantable delivery device comprising a reservoir is initially attached to a deliver catheter or delivery tool and is introduced into the body and positioned at a desired site. A therapeutic or diagnostic substance is then introduced into the reservoir and the delivery catheter or deliver tool is then removed, leaving the implantable delivery device implanted within the body. The substance is then delivered from the reservoir at a rate that causes the desire diagnostic or therapeutic effect. Also provided are substance eluting stents that elute substance from a selected surface of the stent (e.g., the outer surface) but not from another surface of the stent (e.g., the inner surface). | 11-27-2014 |
20150045728 | DEVICE FOR TREATING CHRONIC TOTAL OCCLUSION - A catheterization system for treatment of a condition within a blood vessel is provided with a catheter, a balloon immediately adjacent to the distal end of the catheter, an inflation device for expanding the balloon, and a fluid injection device for injecting a treatment fluid through the central lumen of the catheter and out of the aperture at the distal end of the catheter into the treatment area. The system may include an RF wire, a hollow needle wire, a dissection tool, or a laser wire insertable through the central lumen of the catheter and selectively operable adjacent the proximal end of the catheter to apply treatment within the blood vessel. | 02-12-2015 |
20150073343 | CATHETER AND METHOD OF INSERTION - A balloon catheter system includes a tube and a dilator detachable from the tube after the tube is inserted into a cavity in the patient. The cavity may be filled with gas or liquid to expand the viscera surrounding the cavity and the guidewire may be inserted using a trochar, for example. The tube includes one or more lumen to expandable balloons that are inflatable by fluid inserted through the lumen and into the balloon or balloons, which are formed by elastic film sealed on opposite ends to the external diameter of the tube. The dilator is held in place during insertion, such as by a stainless steel shaft and a sheath portion of the dilator extending over the end of the tube being inserted into the cavity. A portion of the sheath may extend over and protect the balloon. A retractor net may be used to capture and remove the dilator or the dilator may be designed as a bioabsorbable or digestible material or of a material that passes safely through the digestive tract of a patient. | 03-12-2015 |
20160067460 | Balloon Catheter - A balloon catheter for treating elongate diseased vessels with a variable diameter, comprising a pre-stretched balloon and a catheter shaft, which forms a wire lumen embodied to guide a guide wire and forms a liquid lumen by which a liquid can be fed to the balloon. The balloon is fastened to a first catheter shaft element at a first, proximal fastening site and fastened to a second catheter shaft element at a second, distal fastening site, wherein the second fastening site is movable along a longitudinal axis of the catheter shaft in relation to the first fastening site. The balloon surrounds a section of the catheter shaft which extends between the first and second fastening sites. Here, the section of the catheter shaft surrounded by the balloon encloses different regions of the catheter shaft with a changing longitudinal extent of the balloon. | 03-10-2016 |
604103120 | Having inelastic portion | 4 |
20130331784 | NON-COMPLIANT MEDICAL BALLOON HAVING AN INTEGRAL NON-WOVEN FABRIC LAYER - A non-compliant medical balloon may be changed from a deflated state to an inflated state by increasing pressure within the balloon. The non-compliant medical balloon is composed of randomly oriented fibers forming an angle. The angle remains substantially unchanged when the balloon changes from a deflated state to an inflated state. | 12-12-2013 |
20150343183 | BALLOON CATHETER - A balloon catheter has an inner tube having a first lumen, an outer tube part coaxial with the inner tube and forming a second lumen between the outer tube part and an outer surface of the inner tube, and a balloon part having a front end portion fixed to a front end portion of the inner tube and an inside communicating with the second lumen. The balloon part has a bulged portion, having an expansion forming mode formed in advance, which is elastically deformable beyond the expansion forming mode by an expansion liquid injected thereinto. The outer tube part has a front side sleeve portion extending from a rear end portion of the bulged portion of the balloon part to a proximal end of the outer tube part, integrally formed with the balloon part using the same material as that of the balloon part, and substantially non-expandable. | 12-03-2015 |
20160151611 | NON-COMPLIANT MEDICAL BALLOON HAVING AN INTEGRAL NON-WOVEN FABRIC LAYER | 06-02-2016 |
20190143084 | NON-COMPLIANT MEDICAL BALLOON HAVING AN INTEGRAL NON-WOVEN FABRIC LAYER | 05-16-2019 |
