| 20120046600 | HIGH-SPEED ROTATIONAL ATHERECTOMY SYSTEM, DEVICE AND METHOD FOR LOCALIZED APPLICATION OF THERAPEUTIC AGENTS TO A BIOLOGICAL CONDUIT - The invention provides a system, device and method for localized application of therapeutic agents within a biological conduit. A preferred biological conduit comprises a blood vessel. A preferred device comprises a high-speed rotational atherectomy device having, in various embodiments, a flexible, elongate non-rotatable therapeutic agent delivery sheath having a lumen therethrough and a flexible, elongated, rotatable, drive shaft with at least one flexible eccentric enlarged abrading head disposed within lumen of the delivery sheath. The operator may actuate a controlled amount or dose of one or more therapeutic agents to release from the distal end of the delivery sheath lumen during high-speed rotation of the drive shaft. The therapeutic agent(s) is thus released into a turbulent fluidic environment resulting from high-speed rotation and orbital motion of the eccentric abrading head, which aids to drivingly urge the therapeutic agent(s) radially through the boundary layer of fluid flow in the conduit and into the target region of the conduit wall. | 02-23-2012 |

| 20110224580 | THERAPEUTIC MANIPULATION DEVICE - A manipulation device is programmable with different parameters associated with different manipulation exercises for different types of simulated patients. A measuring system determines the success or failure for any of the programmable manipulation exercises and tracks specific results that precisely track how close a student comes to specific target force values. This allows a student to more accurately track performance improvements and more effectively focus practice sessions on problem manipulation techniques. The measurement system not only measures the time and force values associated with the manipulation exercises but also measures angular displacement of the manipulation apparatus during the manipulation exercise. This allows the student to not only determine if a proper amount of force was applied during the manipulation exercise but also to determine if the force was maintained in the same direction and angle. | 09-15-2011 |
