Patent number: 8428747Abstract: A lead locking device has a lead insertion member having a proximal end and a distal end and has a lead engaging assembly. The lead insertion member defines a lumen extending along a longitudinal axis between the distal end and the proximal end of the lead engaging assembly. A mandrel disposed in the lumen of the lead engaging assembly extends along substantially the entire length of the lumen and protrudes beyond the most proximal end of the lead insertion member. The mandrel includes a distal portion in slidable contact with at least a portion of the lead engaging assembly. The lead engaging assembly has a first configuration while being inserted into a lumen of a lead and a second configuration while engaging the lead from within the lumen of the lead. The lead engaging member has at least two expansion jaws that, in the first configuration, define a substantially cylindrical body.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2004Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: The Spectranetics Corp.Inventors: Michael Sean Coe, Kenneth D. Harlan, Cesar Diaz, Thomas E. Plasket

Patent number: 7499756Abstract: A lead locking device has a lead engaging member with a mandrel extending along a lumen and attached to the distal end of the lead engaging member such that it extends beyond the proximal end of the lead engaging member. The lead locking device also has a loop handle attached to the proximal end of the mandrel. The lead engaging member has a first configuration which is narrower than a second configuration and is sufficiently long to extend along substantially the entire length of a lead to be removed from a patient's body. At the distal end, a spring coil is disposed around a tapered section of the mandrel to improve tracking of the lead locking device through the inner lumen of a pacing or defibrillator lead.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2005Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: SpectraneticsInventors: Wade A. Bowe, Kevin D. Taylor, Michael Sean Coe, Kenneth D. Harlan, Brian Kagarise, Thomas E. Plasket

Patent number: 7050692Abstract: A coupler for interfacing a light source, such as a laser, and a fiber optic cable is disclosed. The coupler includes a slide mount having a channel that is adapted to receive optical fibers. The channel extends from a proximal end of the slide mount to a distal end of the slide mount. The proximal end of the slide mount is adapted to fit into an aperture of the light source and the distal end of the slide mount is adapted to transmit light to the fiber optic cable. The coupler also includes a clamp that is mounted on the slide mount adjacent to its proximal end. The clamp covers at least a portion of the channel, thereby securing the optical fibers within the channel without the use of an adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2002Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: The Spectranetics CorporationInventors: Kenneth D. Harlan, Kenneth P. Grace, Robert Carver, Michael Sean Coe
