Patent number: 11944331Abstract: A medical device may include an elongated body, a balloon positioned at a distal portion of the elongated body, and one or more pressure-wave emitters positioned along a central longitudinal axis of the elongated body within the balloon. The one or more pressure-wave emitters may be configured to propagate pressure waves radially outward through the fluid to fragment a calcified lesion at the target treatment site. The at least one of the one or more pressure-wave emitters may comprise an electronic emitter including a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode may be arranged to define a spark gap between the first electrode and the second electrode, and the second electrode may comprise a portion of a hypotube.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: FastWave Medical Inc.Inventors: Edward Anderson, Randy Beyreis, Scott Nelson, JiChao Sun, Brady Hatcher, Ae-Suk Pauling, Daryl Kiefer, Dannah Dean, Curtis Goreham-Voss, Parker Hagen, Tristan Tieso, Lauren Eno

Patent number: 11918285Abstract: A medical device may include an elongated body having a distal elongated body portion and a central longitudinal axis. The medical device may include a balloon positioned along the distal elongated body portion. The balloon may be configured to receive a fluid to inflate the balloon such that an exterior balloon surface contacts a calcified lesion within a patient's vasculature. The medical device may include one or more pressure wave emitters positioned along the central longitudinal axis of the elongated body. The one or more pressure wave emitters may be configured to propagate at least one pressure wave through the fluid to fragment the calcified lesion. At least one pressure wave emitter may include an optical fiber configured to transmit laser energy into the balloon. The laser energy may be configured to create a cavitation bubble in the fluid.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Fast Wave Medical Inc.Inventors: JiChao Sun, Parker Hagen, Dannah Dean, Lauren Eno, Brady Hatcher, Curtis Goreham-Voss, Tristan Tieso, Edward Anderson, Scott Nelson, Dean Irwin, Bryan Goh, Charles Anthony Plowe, Randy Beyreis
