Patent number: 11672765Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure provides microparticles that are configured to release a first drug over a first time period and to release a second drug over a second time period, wherein a lag period of substantially no drug release occurs between the first and second time periods. In other aspects, the present disclosure pertains to the use of such microparticles in delivery systems and methods of treatment. In another aspect, the present disclosure pertains to drug delivery systems that comprising a folded inflatable drug delivery balloon that comprises folds and microparticles positioned within the folds.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2020Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Javier Palomar-Moreno, Michelle Hannon, Phillip Bannister

Publication number: 20230043660Abstract: An ostial stent delivery device may include a first elongate shaft including a first lumen and extending along a central longitudinal axis, wherein the first elongate shaft includes a first inflatable balloon fixedly attached proximate a distal end of the first elongate shaft; and a second elongate shaft including a second lumen, the first elongate shaft being at least partially disposed within the second lumen. The second elongate shaft includes a second inflatable balloon fixedly attached proximate a distal end of the second elongate shaft. The second inflatable balloon is disposed at least partially proximal of the first inflatable balloon. The first inflatable balloon has a substantially cylindrical shape along a majority of its length in the deployed configuration. The second inflatable balloon has a substantially biconical shape having a central axis oriented parallel to the central longitudinal axis in the deployed configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Javier Palomar-Moreno, John Kilcooley, Michelle Hannon

Patent number: 10022519Abstract: An injection catheter system that includes (a) an actuator; (b) an outer needle comprising a sharp tip and a tubular body defining a lumen, and extending distally from the actuator; and (c) an inner needle at least partially disposed within the lumen and extending distally from the actuator, the inner needle having a distal tip configured such that at least a portion of the distal tip has a surface contour with an interstitial cavity adapted to receive a therapeutic gel. The system is configured such that (a) in a first position, the distal tip is fully disposed within the lumen to temporarily retain the therapeutic gel in the interstitial cavity and (b) in a second position, the outer needle is retracted proximally, exposing the interstitial cavity to deliver the therapeutic gel to a target area in a body.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2016Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Philip Bannister, Brenda Clarke, Gill Aoibheann, Michelle Hannon, Dwayne Noone, Fengnan Fang, Emma Jane Mooney, John Kilcooley, Javier Palomar-Moreno, Aiden Flanagan, Tim O'Connor
