  • Intravascular device and carrier tube with interference fit member
    Patent number: 7625365
    Abstract: An intravascular device can have an elongate shaft and a proximal hub assembly. The proximal hub assembly can include an interference fit member (IFM) which forms an interference fit with a carrier tube to reduce the tendency of the device to fall out of the carrier tube during handling and to provide for easy removal of the device when ready for use.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 17, 2002
    Date of Patent: December 1, 2009

  • Body-implantable lead with protector for tissue securing means
    Patent number: 4146036
    Abstract: A body-implantable, intravascular lead affixed with a pin or pins at its proximal end adapted to be connected to a pulse generator and with an electrode or electrodes at its distal end electrically connected via conductor means and adapted to be securely and permanently attached to a body organ. Electrode means in the form of an elongated member having a circumferential electrode formed on one end thereof and an opening passing therethrough from its proximal to distal end is affixed to the distal end of the conductor means. Tissue securing means extending beyond the opening in the distal end of the electrode means are provided for securing the electrode means into firm engagement with the tissue at the desired location. Movable means located in the opening in the electrode means are provided for protecting the tissue securing means from causing injury to a body vessel, heart valve, or other tissue as the lead is inserted and guided through a vessel to the desired location.
