Publication number: 20140371673Abstract: The invention relates to a balloon catheter with a catheter body (1) and with a balloon (2), wherein the balloon (2) is arranged along part of the length of the balloon catheter and can be expanded by delivery of a pressure medium through a delivery line (3). The balloon catheter is characterized in that the outside of the balloon (2) has a multiplicity of punctiform or groove-shaped depressions (4). These improve the application of forces to a vascular wall or stent surrounding the balloon (2). Moreover, in the case of balloons (2) coated with a medicament, the adherence of the medicament is strengthened.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2013Publication date: December 18, 2014Applicant: QUALIMED INNOVATIVE MEDIZINPRODUKTE GMBHInventor: Martina Maria Schmitt

Patent number: 7691142Abstract: A stent (1) is a vascular prosthesis for a constricted body vessel. The stent (1) includes a tubular support frame (2) of ring segments (3) arranged in axial succession and formed by struts (5, 6) which in initial state are joined continuously in a wave-like manner. Adjacent ring segments (3) are linked by differently long connectors (9, 10) with U-shaped compensating sections (11, 12). All connectors (9, 10) point in the same circumferential direction (U). Moreover, differently long connectors (9, 10) alternate in circumferential direction (U) as well as in longitudinal stent axis (L).Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2004Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Qualimed Innovative Medizinprodukte GmbHInventor: Thomas Nissl

Patent number: 7645297Abstract: Disclosed is a stent (1) representing a prosthesis for a constricted body vessel. The stent (1) includes a tubular support frame (2) composed of ring segments (3, 4, 5) which are sequentially arranged in axial direction and which are formed by segment struts (5, 6) that are continuously joined to one another in the initial state via transitions (8). Adjacent ring segments (3-5) are coupled to each other using tie bars (9, 10). In order to prevent notch stress in the segment struts (5, 6), the width thereof increases from midsection (16) in the direction of the transitions (8), wherein the segment struts (6, 7) are curved in a wave-like manner.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2005Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: Qualimed Innovative Medizinprodukte GmbHInventor: Thomas Nissl
