Publication number: 20230015905Abstract: There is provided herein a process of integrating electrically conductive material into a surface layer of an electrically conductive polymer, comprising the steps of including an electrically conductive material in a polymerisation mixture capable of forming an electrically conductive polymer, such that the material is provided across an uppermost and/or a lowermost region of the polymerisation mixture; and subsequently polymerising the polymerisation mixture. Also provided is an electrically conductive polymer and a supercapacitor formed using the process.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2020Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Donald James Highgate, Brendan James Howlin, Winnie Tang

Publication number: 20220387053Abstract: Inverting tube apparatuses having an inverting tube (e.g., a knitted tube) that is configured to roll into an inversion support catheter and capture material from within a body lumen such as a blood vessel, in which the knitted tube is configured to prevent locking down onto the outside of the inversion support catheter. The inversion support catheter may include an expandable funnel at the distal end thereof having an interior profile that is adapted to capture and break apart hard material captured by the tractor so that it may be pulled into the inversion support catheter for removal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: STRYKER CORPORATIONInventors: Michael P. Wallace, Jayson Delos Santos, Skott E. Greenhalgh, Winnie Tang, Clifford Van

Patent number: 9320618Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for precisely placing and/or manipulating devices within the body by first positioning a guidewire or pullwire. The device to be positioned within the body is coupled to the proximal end of the guidewire, and the device is pulled into the body by pulling on the distal end of the guidewire that extends from the body. The device may be bimanually manipulated by pulling the guidewire distally, and an attachment to a device that extends proximally, allowing control of both the proximal and the distal ends. In this manner devices (and particularly implants such as innerspinous distracters, stimulating leads, and disc slings) may be positioned and/or manipulated within the body. Guidewire exchange systems, devices and methods are also described. A guidewire may be exchanged between different surgical devices and may be releaseably or permanently coupled.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2013Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Amendia, Inc.Inventors: Gregory P. Schmitz, Michael P. Wallace, Winnie Tang, Amie R. Borgstrom, Jeffery L. Bleich, Gregory B. Arcenio, Ronald Leguidleguid, Roy Leguidleguid, Jefferey Bleam
