Publication number: 20180271510Abstract: Medical devices and methods for making and using medical devices are disclosed. An example medical device may include an access valve that may be retrieved after implantation. The access valve may include a frame having a lumen, a self-expandable member extending through the lumen, and an elastic membrane extending through the lumen and a second end of the frame to releasably seal the lumen. The access valve may releasably attach to a wall of a patient and releasably seal an opening through the wall. The access valve may be attached to the wall by placing the frame adjacent the wall, extending the self-expandable member through the opening in the wall, and expanding the self-expandable member such that the self-expandable member applies a first force against the wall and a second force opposite the first force against the frame to sandwich the wall between the self-expandable member and the frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2018Publication date: September 27, 2018Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC LIMITEDInventors: Javier Palomar-Moreno, Emma J. Mooney, Michael Walsh, Martyn G. Folan, Gary Duffy

Patent number: 10022519Abstract: An injection catheter system that includes (a) an actuator; (b) an outer needle comprising a sharp tip and a tubular body defining a lumen, and extending distally from the actuator; and (c) an inner needle at least partially disposed within the lumen and extending distally from the actuator, the inner needle having a distal tip configured such that at least a portion of the distal tip has a surface contour with an interstitial cavity adapted to receive a therapeutic gel. The system is configured such that (a) in a first position, the distal tip is fully disposed within the lumen to temporarily retain the therapeutic gel in the interstitial cavity and (b) in a second position, the outer needle is retracted proximally, exposing the interstitial cavity to deliver the therapeutic gel to a target area in a body.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2016Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Philip Bannister, Brenda Clarke, Gill Aoibheann, Michelle Hannon, Dwayne Noone, Fengnan Fang, Emma Jane Mooney, John Kilcooley, Javier Palomar-Moreno, Aiden Flanagan, Tim O'Connor

Publication number: 20090131920Abstract: A device for crimping stents onto a catheter is described, comprising two opposing pressure walls. The walls are angled towards each other and provide surfaces that move in opposite directions so that a stent on a catheter placed between the surfaces is rotated while a force is applied to the stent. The stent is moved toward a narrower dimension between the pressure walls, to emerge from the walls fully crimped onto the catheter.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2007Publication date: May 21, 2009Applicant: ABBOTT LABORATORIES VASCULAR ENTERPRISES LIMITEDInventor: JAVIER PALOMAR MORENO
