Patent number: 10806906Abstract: A catheter insertion device with a housing and an interior space. An access needle and a guide wire supported by and moveable relative to the access needle. A restraining element attached to a handle to limit the motion of the guide wire relative to the access needle. A catheter insertion device with a housing and an interior space. An access needle and a guide wire channel attached to the access needle. A guide wire supported by the guide wire channel. A handle attached to the guide wire to move the guide wire relative to the guide wire support channel. A method of introducing a catheter into a vessel by inserting a guide wire substantially contained within a housing into a vessel. Next, advance a catheter over the guide wire and into the vessel. Next, withdraw the guide wire out of the vessel and completely into the housing.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2014Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Vascular Pathways, Inc.Inventors: Jessica Ash Warring, Amir Belson, Winfield Scott Fisher

Patent number: 8579988Abstract: Apparatus for delivering a medical device to a location in a patient's body includes an elongate catheter body having a proximal end and a distal end, a pod coupled with the distal end of the catheter body and adapted to house the medical device during delivery to the location and to open to release the medical device, and at least one distal actuator coupled with at least one of the pod and the medical device. The distal actuator is adapted to promote opening of the pod. A method involves advancing a pod at the distal end of an elongate catheter to the location within the body and activating an actuator coupled with the pod and/or the medical device to cause the pod to open. Opening the pod releases the medical device.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2011Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: BAROnova, Inc.Inventors: Daniel R. Burnett, Gregory W. Hall, Jordan T. Bajor, Winfield Scott Fisher, Tibor Laszlo Hites
