Publication number: 20190282356Abstract: A self-expanding stent-graft provided in a diametrically compacted state for implantation and retained preferably by a constraining sheath, useful for the temporary or permanent repair of injured, partially or entirely transected body conduits including blood vessels. It may be used under direct visualization to quickly stop or substantially reduce loss of blood from such damaged vessels and to quickly re-establish perfusion distal to the injury site. The device would typically be implanted under emergency room conditions but also be used in field situations by trained medical technicians. After an end of the device is inserted into a blood vessel through the injury access, deployment preferably initiates from the device end in a direction moving toward the middle of the length of the device by directionally releasing the constraining sheath.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2019Publication date: September 19, 2019Inventors: Edward H. Cully, Jeffrey B. Duncan, Keith M. Flury, Paul D. Goodman, Wayne D. House, Vrad W. Levering, Philip P. Off, Daniel M. O'Shea, Michael J. Vonesh, Jason M. Wiersdorf

Patent number: 9446232Abstract: A highly flexible implantable lead that offers improved flexibility, fatigue life and fatigue and abrasion resistance improved reliability, effective electrode tissue contact with a small diameter and low risk of tissue damage during extraction. In one embodiment the lead is provided with both defibrillation electrodes and pacing/sensing electrodes. For defibrillation/pacing leads, the lead diameter may be as small as six French or smaller. The construction utilizes helically wound conductors. For leads incorporating multiple separate conductors, many of the helically wound conductors are arranged in a multi-filar relationship. Preferably, each conductor is a length of wire that is uninsulated at about the middle of its length to create an electrode, wherein the conductor is folded in half at about the middle of the length to create first and second length segments that constitute parallel conductors.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey B. Duncan, Aaron J. Hopkinson, Thomas R. McDaniel, Michael J. Vonesh, Jason M. Wiersdorf
