Patent number: 9827102Abstract: Embodiments are directed to an implantable penile prosthesis cylinder comprising an outer tube member and an inner tube member. The outer tube member has a longitudinal axis. The inner tube member is contained within the outer tube member. The inner tube member includes a plurality of inflatable chamber sections each defined by an exterior wall facing the outer tube member and an interior wall. Inflation of the chamber sections expands a girth of the outer tube member.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan J. Lund, Eric Forrest Little, Harshad M. Borgaonkar, Kristina Rouw, Andrew P. Vandeweghe, Carey J. Becker, Gregory J. Henkel

Patent number: 9474610Abstract: An implantable penile prosthesis having an adjustable length rear tip extender. The extender is connectable with at least one inflatable cylinder. The adjustable length rear tip extender can be telescoping, or include one or more segments capable of being cut away or otherwise removed, to adjust the effective length for the at least one inflatable cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2011Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Harshad M. Borgaonkar, Randall H. Zauner, Christopher A. Wilhoit

Patent number: 8160721Abstract: A medical electrical lead comprises a flexible, elongate lead body extending along a longitudinal axis and having a proximal end and a distal end. A protective distal tip structure is disposed on the distal end of the lead body. The tip structure includes a plurality of compliant projections each extending distally from the distal end of the body in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The projections are configured to contact and bear against cardiac tissue when the lead is implanted, and are deformable under the action of an axially or radially directed force. The projections optionally include a coating over a substrate. The coating can include a hydrogel material and/or a pharmaceutical agent such as a steroid for reducing inflammation at the implantation site.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2009Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: Daniel J. Cooke, Leslie J. Carion, Shrojalkumar Desai, Brendan E. Koop, Ronald W. Heil, Jr., Harshad M. Borgaonkar, Matthew S. Finlay

Publication number: 20120052184Abstract: A medical electrical lead includes a drug eluting coating provided over at least a portion of the lead body. The drug eluting coating can be provided over at least a portion of the lead body and adjacent to at least one electrode located on the lead body. The drug eluting coating can include at least one matrix polymer layer including a polymer admixed with a therapeutic agent. The therapeutic agent, for example, can be an anti-proliferative agent or an anti-inflammatory agent. The matrix polymer can include a medical adhesive. The rate of elution of the drug from the matrix polymer layer is affected by the drug to polymer ratio of the drug in the matrix polymer layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2011Publication date: March 1, 2012Inventors: Harshad M. Borgaonkar, Ronald W. Heil, JR., Arienne P. Simon, Jeannette C. Polkinghorne, Daniel J. Cooke

Patent number: 6865937Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for increasing the safety of a clogged or failed exhaust system. In accordance with a first embodiment, an apparatus is provided that includes (1) a tank adapted to contain a processing fluid; (2) an exhaust system coupled to the tank and adapted to exhaust a gas from the tank, the gas including a hazardous vapor of the processing fluid; (3) a sensor coupled to the exhaust system and adapted to detect a rate at which gas is exhausted from the tank; and (4) a fluid supply mechanism adapted to supply a diluting fluid to the tank so as to dilute the processing fluid contained by the tank if the rate at which gas is exhausted from the tank is less than a predetermined rate. Systems, methods and computer program products are provided in accordance with this and other embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2002Date of Patent: March 15, 2005Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Alexander N Lerner, Harshad M Borgaonkar
