Abstract: An apparatus for performing a vascular treatment includes an intraluminal member that is controllingly moved during the vascular treatment. The intraluminal member of the vascular treatment device can be connected to a motor. The intraluminal member may be configured to retain endothelium during the vascular treatment procedure.

Abstract: An apparatus for performing a vascular treatment is disclosed. In some embodiments, the apparatus comprises two modules that are maintained in separate zones of an operating environment. The apparatus includes an elongate, intraluminal member that is shaped and dimensioned for passage through blood vessels of a subject. The intraluminal member has a proximal end and a distal end. A vein wall disruptor for degrading the integrity of the inner wall of a vessel is housed within a sheath of the intraluminal member. The disruptor includes at least one, but may include several, prongs. The distal ends of the prongs contact or communicate with the inner wall of a blood vessel. The disruptor can include a contacting tip designed to damage the interior of the vessel as the disruptor is pulled proximally therealong. The apparatus further includes an automatic injector to inject a sclerosant into the blood vessel.

Abstract: A vascular treatment device may include (1) a handle having a motor, a trigger, and a male coupling, and (2) a cartridge, engageable to the handle, having a female coupling, a wire, and a sheath fixed to the cartridge. When the female coupling is not engaged to the male coupling, the sheath may cover the distal end of the wire, allowing safe advancement of the device into the patient's vasculature, and when the female coupling is engaged by the male coupling, the distal end of the wire may be exposed from the sheath and used.

Abstract: A wire for use with a vascular treatment device may have a proximal end, a distal end, and a main shaft extending therebetween. The distal end may have a distal free end and a first segment. The first segment may extend from the main shaft and may be biased to a first included angle that is defined between the main shaft and the first segment and less than 180 degrees.

Abstract: An apparatus for the accurate formation of a three-dimensional article comprises providing a first quantity and a second quantity of substantially uniform size droplets of a desired material wherein each droplet has a positive or negative charge. Each quantity of droplets is focused or aligned into a narrow stream by passing the droplets through or adjacent an alignment means which repels each droplet toward an axis extending through the alignment means. The droplets are deposited in a predetermined pattern at a predetermined rate onto a target to form the three-dimensional article without a mold of the shape of the three-dimensional article. The droplets of the first quantity and the second quantity are supplied at different distances, whereby the droplets of the first quantity bond to each other and the droplets of the second quantity do not bond to each other or to the first quantity of droplets.
