Patent number: 7476244Abstract: A system for delivering at least one medical device to a desired location for treatment, and then selectively deploy it in position, includes an improved handle having a first and second independently movable actuator for moving an outer sheath. A locking mechanism may be provided that resists inadvertent or accidental movement or retraction of the stent delivery system components during packaging, sterilization, shipping, storage, handling and preparation of the stent delivery system.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2004Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignee: Cordis CorporationInventors: Jon Buzzard, Frederick Feller, III

Patent number: 7381216Abstract: Methods for delivering at least one medical device to a desired location for treatment, and then selectively deploy it in position, include an improved handle. One of the possible features of the handle may be to selectively hold the delivery system components at any desired configuration during deployment and positioning of the medical device. Another possible feature of the handle may be more than one mode of operation, in which the deployment of the medical device can selectively proceed at more than one speed. Yet another possible feature of the handle may be a locking mechanism that resists inadvertent or accidental movement or retraction of the stent delivery system components during packaging, sterilization, shipping, storage, handling and preparation of the stent delivery system.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2004Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Cordi CorporationInventors: Jon Buzzard, Frederick Feller, III

Publication number: 20070106364Abstract: An intraluminal medical device delivery system that distributes forces more uniformly across an intraluminal medical device during loading and delivery of the device to an intended treatment site. A support member provided on an inner member of a catheter delivery system helps to more uniformly distribute forces across the device by crimping the device over the support member so as to place the support member in a mechanically compressed state during delivery of the device to the intended treatment site. The support member is preferably comprised of a material having a modulus of elasticity that increases when the material is compressed. The mechanical nature of the support member provides increased stability to the device during loading and delivery thereof without providing heat or other preformed or additional mechanical members to the support member. Repositioning of the device is available due to the stability of the device when mounted on the support member.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2005Publication date: May 10, 2007Inventors: Jon Buzzard, Bruce Hoo, Karen Jackson, Francisco Valdes, Christopher Widenhouse

Patent number: 5534836Abstract: A deactivator for use in an electronic article surveillance system has a housing having a first receptacle containing a deactivator for deactivating a theft-deterrent marker carried on an object such as a compact disk case, an audio cassette case or a video cassette case. The first receptacle is made up of a base, a first wall and a second wall, the walls being spaced apart such that an object carrying the theft-deterrent marker can be placed between the walls. The first wall is slidable relative to the second wall. The housing also has a second receptacle with a deactivator for deactivating a theft-deterrent marker carried on a generally rectangular object such as an audio cassette box having a top and a bottom, first and second sides and first and second ends, the marker being carried by one of the sides or one of the ends. The device comprises a housing having a receptacle comprising first, second and third walls arranged so as to form three sides of a box.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 1994Date of Patent: July 9, 1996Assignee: Sensormatic Electronics CorporationInventors: Howard M.
