  • Publication number: 20230131194
    Abstract: A system suitable for delivering a therapeutic agent to a target site may include a container for holding a therapeutic agent; a pressure source having pressurized fluid, the pressure source in selective fluid communication with at least a portion of the container; a catheter in selective fluid communication with the container and configured for delivery of the therapeutic agent or the pressurized fluid to a target site; and a housing configured to securely retain the container and movably support a switch, where the switch is movable between a first position and a second position, where when the switch is in the first position, delivery of the therapeutic agent is prevented while delivery of the pressurized fluid is permitted, and where when the switch is in the second position, delivery of the therapeutic agent is permitted.

  • Patent number: 11246727
    Abstract: A stent delivery system includes an elongate shaft including a proximal portion, a distal portion, at least one lumen extending at least partially therethrough, and a stent receiving portion on the distal portion of the elongate shaft. A stent is positioned on the stent receiving portion of the elongate shaft, the stent having a first configuration and a second configuration. A proximal constraining arrangement is engaged with a proximal end of the stent and a distal constraining arrangement is engaged with a distal end of the stent, the distal constraining arrangement including a first distal constraining member engaged with a first distal portion of the stent and a second distal constraining member engaged with a second distal portion of the stent. When the stent is in the first configuration, the proximal restraining assembly and the distal restraining assembly applies an axial mechanical force to the distal constraining member.
