Patent number: 10966763Abstract: A device for delivering a material to an orthopedic target site is disclosed. The device can be used to deliver bone cement to an intra-vertebral site. The device can have a pusher rod within a tube. The tube can be loaded with the bone cement distal to the pusher rod. The pusher rod can have varying rigidity along the length of the pusher rod. The tube and pusher rod can navigate tortuous pathways from a percutaneous or transcutaneous insertion en route to the target site or to improve extracorporeal ergonomics. Methods for using the same are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: LOMA VISTA MEDICAL, , INC.Inventors: Alexander Q. Tilson, Mark C. Scheeff

Patent number: 10799348Abstract: An inflatable structure for use in biological lumens and methods of making and using the same are disclosed. The structure can have an inflatable balloon formed into a plurality of cells encircled by a shell. A strap can extend between the cells. The shell can have proximal and distal tapered necks, longitudinally-oriented flutes, and apertures at the proximal and distal ends of the shell. The shell can include a reinforcement having tapered sections over the necks and strips extending between the tapered sections. A semi-compliant or compliant balloon can be placed around the outside of the inflatable structure.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2013Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: LOMA VISTA MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Alexander Q. Tilson, Paul J. Dreyer, Mitchell C. Barham, Mark C. Scheeff, Charles S. Love, Garrett J. Gomes, Jonathan Kurniawan, Cameron S. Moore

Publication number: 20200178763Abstract: A rigidizing overtube includes an elongate flexible tube, one or more mounting elements attached to the flexible tube, and a plurality of engagers connected to the one or more mounting elements. The rigidizing overtube has a flexible configuration in which the plurality of engagers are configured to move relative to other engagers to accommodate bending of the flexible tube. The rigidizing overtube also has a rigid configuration in which the plurality of engagers are fixed relative to other engagers to prevent the flexible tube from bending.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2018Publication date: June 11, 2020Applicant: NEPTUNE MEDICAL INC.Inventors: Alexander Q. TILSON, Garrett J. GOMES, Stephen J. MORRIS, Eugene F. DUVAL, Adam S. WIGGINTON, Mark C. SCHEEFF
