Publication number: 20130184727Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a vessel support system and a method of vessel harvesting. The system can include a cutting device, a catheter adapted to be inserted into a section of the vessel in order to support the vessel as the cutting device is advanced over the vessel, and a cannula adapted to be coupled to the vessel and adapted to receive the catheter as the catheter is inserted into the section of the vessel. The method can include orienting a cutting device coaxially with the cannula and the catheter and advancing the cutting device over the cannula, the catheter, and the section of the vessel in order to core out the section of the vessel and a portion of the surrounding tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2007Publication date: July 18, 2013Applicant: SCOTTSDALE MEDICAL DEVICES, INC.Inventors: Cynthia T.

Publication number: 20100305594Abstract: A percutaneous harvesting device for the harvesting of tubular body members from a body is disclosed. The percutaneous harvesting device includes an endovascular guide for sufficiently straightening the tubular vessel to be removed and a perivascular cutting tool that is inserted over the endovascular guide. The cutting tool is advanced along the length of the tubular body member to be removed and it cuts body tissue (wherein the tubular body member is positioned inside the body tissue) as it is advanced. The body tissue is thus dissected from the body and can then be extracted percutaneously and rapidly from the body by pulling the endovascular guide, and the tubular body member and surrounding body tissue, from the body.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2010Publication date: December 2, 2010Applicant: SCOTTSDALE MEDICAL DEVICES, INC.Inventor: John C.

Patent number: 7831297Abstract: A device for gripping a guide wire includes a body portion having an opening therethrough, and has an open position and a closed position. When the device is in the open position the guide wire may be passed through the opening. When the device is in the closed position the guide wire is gripped at more than one location thereby allowing force or torque to be applied to the guide wire. A device according to the invention may optionally, or instead, include (a) a snout to act as a guide wire director, (b) a structure, such as an opening, configured to receive an end of a guide wire package, (c) a structure for securing a body member to the device, and/or (d) a mechanism for advancing or retracting a guide wire. If the device includes one of these optional features, it need not be designed to grip a guide wire at two or more locations.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2003Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: Scottsdale Medical Devices, Inc.Inventors: John C. Opie, Stephen J. Joyce
