Publication number: 20230321400Abstract: The deflectable tip catheters can be used with a primary delivery system (e.g., a bronchoscope, endoscope, or other surgical access device) to access a certain target tissue, such as a tumor (e.g., a lung tumor). The primary access device provides initial access and the deflectable tip catheter can be passed through the primary access device to reach the target tissue which is not otherwise accessible by the primary access device. The deflectable tip catheters have an internal bore free of obstructions such that a drug delivery device (e.g., a needle) or a diagnostic tool can be passed therethrough to directly access the target tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2021Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Rudolph CEDRO, Jr., Anthony R.

Patent number: 8777984Abstract: A device and method for deploying a mechanical closure device for closing a passageway in a body, for example a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in a heart. The deployment device has a first tubular structure having proximal and distal ends. A second tubular structure is substantially coaxial to and slideably engaged within the first tubular structure. The second tubular structure has a first substantially linear shape when constrained within the first tubular structure, and a second curvilinear shape when telescopically extended from the distal end of the first tubular structure. A third tubular structure is substantially coaxial to and slideably engaged within the second tubular structure. The third tubular structure is configured to provide sufficient rigidity to push the mechanical closure device from the distal end of the second tubular structure, and provide sufficient flexibility to assume a curvilinear shape when deflected by the second tubular structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Cordis CorporationInventors: Chao-Chin Chen, Randy David B.

Patent number: 8518052Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a delivery system for delivering a medically useful payload through the vasculature to a site of interest in the patient's body. The medically useful payload may be a therapeutic device, such as a stent, and it may be a diagnostic tool, such as an imaging device. Owing to its structural attributes, the presently-inventive delivery system is well suited for carrying medical payload to and through vessel curvature and to branched regions (i.e., bifurcations) in same. Also, the device is well-suited to traveling through a vessel over a guiding element, such as a guidewire, which itself exhibits curvature.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2006Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Cordis CorporationInventors: Robert Burgermeister, Matthew E.
