Publication number: 20120316638Abstract: In one embodiment, a delivery system for a medical device includes a flexible sheath defining a lumen having a distal end and a flexible shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion. A retention element and a pushing element, spaced proximally from the retention element, are disposed on the distal portion. The flexible shaft, retention element, and pushing element are disposable within the lumen. The flexible shaft is movable distally through the lumen between a stowed position and a deployed position and is movable proximally through the lumen between the deployed position and a partially deployed position with the retention element proximate to the distal end of the lumen. The retention element is configured to form with the medical device an interference fit with the flexible sheath when the flexible shaft is urged proximally from the retention position to engage the medical device with the flexible sheath.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2011Publication date: December 13, 2012Applicant: Surpass Medical Ltd.Inventors: Ygael Grad, Marc Litzenberg

Patent number: 7093527Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for making a braided intraluminal implant, by providing a mandrel having at least one small-diameter section joined at least at one end to a large-diameter section; interweaving a plurality of filaments to form a tubular braid enclosing at least a part of the small-diameter section and at least a part of the large-diameter section; and cutting the tubular braid to produce a tubular braid segment having outwardly flared ends at its opposite ends. One flared end is produced by the large-diameter section of the mandrel, and the opposite outwardly flared end may be produced either by another large-diameter section of the mandrel, or by cutting the tubular braid at a portion formed by the small-diameter section of the mandrel but at a location wherein the release of stresses in the filaments inherently produces an outward flaring of the braid at that end.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2004Date of Patent: August 22, 2006Assignee: Surpass Medical Ltd.Inventors: Avraham Rapaport, Boaz Nishri, Gilad Cibulski
