Publication number: 20110040371Abstract: The invention is in the field of mechanical devices. It relates to a device and methods for supporting the wall of a lumen. In particular, the invention relates to a device and method for supporting the wall of a human or animal body lumen, the device comprising a coiled body which can be inserted into a lumen and expand therein. The device may advantageously be used for treating arterial and vascular diseases, in particular coronary conditions and cardiovascular diseases. The device may also advantageously be used for the localized delivery of drugs. In particular, the invention provides a device for supporting the wall of a lumen comprising a coiled structure (10) defining an inner core (20) wherein the inner core comprises a support wire (30) comprising a shape memory material, wherein the shape memory material is programmed to make the coiled structure (10) assume a macro-coiled structure (40) upon an appropriate trigger.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2009Publication date: February 17, 2011Applicant: HANSSEN INVESTMENT & CONSULTANCY B.V.Inventors: Johannes Hendrikus Leonardus Hanssen, Petrus Antonius Besselink

Publication number: 20020049408Abstract: A balloon for use in surgical procedures, such as angioplasty. The balloon is configured as a balloon catheter with an axial series of segmented chambers, each connected to a tubular core that is adapted to a transport a pressurizable fluid source. The chambers are made of an elastically expandable material that inflates in response to the introduction of a pressurized fluid source. Each chamber includes a body lumen inner wall engaging surface and a pair of generally opposed flanges. Flexibly compliant links are disposed between adjacent chambers. These links may be integral with the flanges, or may constitute a separate hinge that couples the chambers at least to the central core. As the balloon is routed through a body lumen, curvature in the lumen is mimicked by the balloon, as it is able to flexibly conform to the shape of the lumen path by preferential bending at the flexibly compliant links.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2001Publication date: April 25, 2002Inventors: Wilfried Franciscus Marcellinus Van Moorlegem, Petrus Antonius Besselink

Patent number: 6293573Abstract: The invention relates to a linear sliding connection (1; 14; 18; 21; 29; 33) between two structural parts (2, 3, 9, 10; 3, 38, 39, 40, 2, 3, 10, 25). Said structural parts can slide back and forth in relation to each other with a damping effect in at least one of the two directions of movement. The invention is characterised by a mechanical friction damping element with a wire basket (4) which acts as a friction or clamping element. Said wire basket (4) encompasses the first (2, 3; 3, 38) of the two moveable structural parts concentrically on a longitudinal section in such a way that it rests on the outer surface of said first structural part, with one axial end (first basket end 4a) fixed on the second structural part (9, 10; 39, 40; 25, 10) and the other axial end (second basket end 4b) positioned on said second structural part in such a way that it is axially slideable in a longitudinal direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1999Date of Patent: September 25, 2001Assignee: Otto Bock Orthopaedische Industrie Besitz-und Verwaltungs-KommanditgesellschaftInventors: Bernardus Johannes Maria Olde-Heuvel, Petrus Antonius Besselink

Patent number: 5791899Abstract: A bone anchoring assembly and method for attaching a body part to a patient's bone which includes a bone anchor that is implantable in bone having an opening leading to a cavity formed therein. A coupling member with at least one portion made of a shape memory material having a transformation temperature range is disclosed. The coupling member is movable through the opening and in and out of the cavity at temperatures below the transformation temperature range. With it in the cavity and at temperatures above the transformation temperature range, the coupling member is locked within the bone anchor. The coupling member is attachable to the body part.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1996Date of Patent: August 11, 1998Assignee: Memory Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Rohit Chaman Lal Sachdeva, Petrus Antonius Besselink
