Patent number: 10258339Abstract: A compression ring to grip and compress body structure such as diverticulum, hemorrhoids, and tissue adjacent a hole. A resilient ring-shaped body defines a compression channel, and an elongated axially rigid gripping member extends diametrically across the through-opening. The gripping member can rest on a flange on the opposite side of the through-opening or engage with a second gripping member that extends diametrically across the through-opening from the opposite side of the ring. Or, a flexible cage structure can be disposed in the through-opening.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2015Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Insightra Medical, Inc.Inventor: Wayne A. Noda

Patent number: 10159553Abstract: A mesh to repair a hole in a muscle wall includes a resilient mesh body and fortifying structure such as mesh portions of thicker weave than other portions, or strengthening members that can be engaged with the mesh and then removed from the mesh once the mesh is place over the hole. The same principles can be applied to a plug that is engaged with the mesh for filling the hole.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2013Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Insightra Medical, Inc.Inventor: Giuseppe Amato

Patent number: 10149681Abstract: A compression ring to grip and compress body structure such as diverticulum, hemorrhoids, and tissue adjacent a hole. A resilient ring-shaped body defines a compression channel, and one or more axially rigid elongated spikes extend from the body into the channel. The body defines a first axial segment surrounding the compression channel and a second axial segment surrounding the compression channel, with the spike being engaged only with the second axial segment. The first axial segment more tightly compresses the body structure than the second axial segment.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2013Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Insightra Medical, Inc.Inventors: Wayne A.

Patent number: 9402986Abstract: A hernia repair implant includes a first layer for facing a body structure having a hernia defect to cover the defect while promoting tissue growth into the first layer from the body structure. The implant also includes a second layer opposed to the first layer and made of anti-adhesion material to prevent growth of tissue into the second layer from body structures contacting the second layer. Furthermore, the implant includes at least one engagement strap connected to the first layer and extending therefrom to terminate at a free end. The engagement strap defines opposed thin edges and opposed flat surfaces extending between the edges. At least one barb extends from at least one edge and/or at least one flat surface of the strap and is configured to impede motion of the strap in only a single direction.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2014Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Insightra Medical, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Graham Bell, Wayne A. Noda, Giuseppe Amato

Patent number: 9265502Abstract: A delivery assembly includes a ring sleeve that fits snugly over a main endoscope on the distal end of the endoscope. An extension tube projects distally away from the ring sleeve and may be made integrally with the sleeve. The extension tube is off-axis from the ring sleeve and endoscope. A tube-like inner carrier is reciprocatingly disposed inside the extension tube. One or more resilient tissue compression rings are placed in a stretched configuration on the inner carrier. To push the rings off the carrier, the carrier is pulled proximally within the extension tube and the compression ring is thus pulled into contact with the distal end of the extension tube. Continued pulling of the carrier causes the compression ring to be pushed off the assembly onto target tissue, at which point the ring is relaxed to assume a small configuration and clamp the target tissue.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2013Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Insightra Medical, Inc.Inventor: Wayne A. Noda
