Patent number: 11497639Abstract: There is described an endovascular prosthesis delivery device. The subject endovascular prosthesis delivery device comprises a combination of a delivery frame element and a hub insert element that are secured to one another by a first retention element. At a distal portion of the delivery frame element, there is a prosthesis attachment zone for coupling to an endovascular prosthesis. When it is desired to deploy the endovascular prosthesis, the first retention element is broken in a manner to allow relative movement between the hub insert element and the delivery frame element. A pull wire assembly is secured with respect to the hub insert element and comprises a pull wire which is coupled to the endovascular prosthesis in the prosthesis attachment zone of the delivery frame element.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Inventors: Eric Soun-Sang Fung, Jonathan G.

Patent number: 10278840Abstract: There is disclosed a novel endovascular prosthesis that has an improved rotational range of proper placement of the prosthesis with respect to the opening of the aneurysm and provides improved flexibility with respect to longitudinal positioning of the device in the artery. This provides the clinician with a significant advantage over the prior art devices described above. The present elongate endovascular prosthesis comprises a first expandable portion expandable from a first, unexpanded state to a second, expanded state to urge the first expandable portion against the wall of the vascular lumen such as an artery. The endovascular prosthesis further comprises a retractable leaf portion attached to the first expandable portion; the retractable leaf portion serves to facilitate stasis and thrombotic occlusion of the aneurysm. The retractable leaf portion comprises at least one spine portion and a plurality of rib portions attached to the spine portion.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2013Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Evasc Neurovascular Limited PartnershipInventors: Jonathan G.

Patent number: 7056473Abstract: A sample testing apparatus (100) for use in measuring an analyte in a sample (105) is disclosed. The apparatus includes a sample well (104) for receiving the sample. A solid analyte binding agent (160) is disposed in the sample well. The apparatus further includes a mixing device (156) for mixing the sample with the solid analyte binding agent and a valve (129). The valve is configurable between a closed position for impeding flow of the sample from the sample well and an open position for releasing the sample from the sample well. The apparatus additionally includes a membrane (118) for receiving the sample once released from the sample well, the membrane having a capture reagent (164) adapted to interact with at least one of the analyte, the analyte binding agent, or a complex thereof, to aid in determining the amount of the analyte in the sample.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2004Date of Patent: June 6, 2006Assignee: Response Biomedical Corp.Inventors: Paul C.
