Publication number: 20210085952Abstract: Disclosed herein are inflators and methods of using the inflators for inflating inflatable devices, such as balloons, used in medical procedures. Such procedures include angioplasty and the transcatheter delivery of prosthetic heart valves and stents. The inflators overcome the resistances typically generated during such procedures and reduces the force required to fully inflate the balloon.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2020Publication date: March 25, 2021Applicant: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventors: Tomer Saar, Michael Bukin, Dudu Haimovich, Roee Haimovich, Ohad Yakobovitch

Publication number: 20200179208Abstract: Catheterization employing a cable extending from the catheter to a fixed point of attachment is performed by providing a sensor to detect rotation of the catheter about its longitudinal axis, the rotation causing the cable to form a twist. The cable extends through a cable arranger that operates to remove the twist. A controller receives signals from the sensor and generates control signals to actuate the cable arranger responsively to the signals from the sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2020Publication date: June 11, 2020Applicant: BIOSENSE WEBSTER (ISRAEL) LTDInventors: Yoav LICHTENSTEIN, Dudu HAIMOVICH, Roee HAIMOVICH

Patent number: 10525784Abstract: A self-leveling mechanism for a mobility device, the mobility device including a chassis configured to propel the mobility device on a surface, includes a leveling structure on which is mounted a user support for supporting a user of the mobility device. The leveling structure is connected to the chassis by a swivel connection that enables the leveling structure to swivel about the connection, and by two linearly displaceable connections that are laterally displaced from one another. Two linear actuators are each configured to displace one of the displaceable connections to adjust a distance between each displaceable connection and the chassis. A sensor for senses a tilt of the leveling structure and a controller is configured to operate the linear actuators in accordance with the sensed tilt.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: UPNRIDE ROBOTICS LTD.Inventors: Amit Goffer, Roee Haimovich, Oren Tamari, Dudu Haimovich

Patent number: 8672957Abstract: Apparatus is provided for applying one or more patches to a tubular structure in a body of a patient. The apparatus includes an applicator, which is configured to removably hold the one or more patches, and to place the one or more patches at least partially around the tubular structure. The applicator includes one or more patch supports. Each of the patch supports includes a yielding pad, which is removably coupleable to one of the patches; and a stiff back support structure, to which the yielding pad is fixed. Each of the patch supports is shaped so as to define at least one chamber that itself has a volume of at least 0.5 ml when the patch supports are in respective resting states. Other embodiments are also described.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2011Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: SEAlantis Ltd.Inventors: Ohad Kimhi, Dudu Haimovich, Aviad Louzon
