Patent number: 10010438Abstract: The stent of the present invention combines a helical strut band interconnected by coil elements. This structure provides a combination of attributes that are desirable in a stent, such as, for example, substantial flexibility, stability in supporting a vessel lumen, cell size and radial strength. The structure of the stent of the present invention provides a predetermined geometric relationship between the helical strut band and interconnected coil.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2015Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: FLEXIBLE STENTING SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Bradley Beach, Janet Burpee, Andrew Filachek

Patent number: 9592137Abstract: A flexible stent structure includes a plurality of axially spaced strut portions defining generally tubular axial segments of the stent and constructed to be radially expandable. A helical portion is interposed axially between two strut portions and has a plurality of helical elements connected between circumferentially spaced locations on the two strut portions. The helical elements extend helically between those locations and the length of a helical element is sufficient so that, when the stent is in a radially expanded state, it can simultaneously withstand repeated axial compression or expansion and bending.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2014Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: FLEXIBLE STENTING SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Janet Burpee, Bradley Beach

Publication number: 20160120677Abstract: A medical device delivery system including a mechanism to concurrently move an inner member and an outer member in opposite directions and at pre-set speed ratio can be operated, for example, to reconstrain a foreshortening self-expanding stent with a known foreshortening ratio between the crimped diameter in an intraluminal catheter based delivery system and the nominal deployed diameter in the body lumen. The mechanism can include two oppositely handed lead screws that concurrently turn and two followers, each follower operatively connected to one of the two shafts (e.g., the inner and outer member).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2015Publication date: May 5, 2016Applicant: Flexible Stenting Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Taylor A.

Publication number: 20150148887Abstract: A self expanding flexible or balloon expandable flexible device includes a helical strut member helically wound about an axis of the stent. The helical strut member comprises a plurality of helical strut elements. A plurality of individual helical elements are helically wound about the axis of the device in the same direction of the helical strut member with the helical elements extending between and interconnecting points on subsequent windings of the helical strut member. The device can be a flow diverter, anchor, revascularization device or filter. A self expanding flexible bifurcation device can include at least one leg. The at least one leg comprising the helical strut member and the plurality of individual helical elements helically wound about the axis of the device in the same direction of the helical strut member with the helical elements extending between and interconnecting points on subsequent windings of the helical strut member.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2014Publication date: May 28, 2015Applicant: FLEXIBLE STENTING SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Bradley Beach, Janet Burpee
