Patent number: 11938280Abstract: A drainage catheter system comprising a catheter having an elongate body \configured for insertion into an organ or cavity of a patient and a hub configured for coupling with a longitudinal shearing device and the first end of the catheter and movable over the elongate body of the catheter. A locking stay suture extends through the elongate body of the catheter. The length of the elongate body of the catheter can be adjusted by sliding the hub coupled to the longitudinal shearing device along the longitudinal axis of the catheter, and then creating a longitudinal cut in the catheter through which the proximal end of the locking stay suture can be removed and secured, thereby enabling the excess catheter tubing to be removed by cutting and allowing the base to rest flush against the patient's body.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2019Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Traceless Biopsy, LLCInventors: Charles Gilliland, Baylee Brooke Heard, Ann Marie Stringer, Asia Pauline Hernandez, Elizabeth Kaleigh Johnston

Publication number: 20210205015Abstract: An ablation probe comprising an elongate body extending a length along a longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end, the first end extending into a housing and the second end comprising an ablation probe tip configured for insertion into a biopsy tract in a patient. In example forms, the elongate body of the ablation probe can be inserted into a patient through an existing trocar needle or biopsy access cannula following completion of a biopsy. In other example forms, the elongate body of the ablation probe defines a lumen. In one example form, the lumen contains a wire for heating the ablation probe tip, which may be composed of graphite, a resistive metal, or another electrically-resistive material. In another example form, the lumen additionally contains a thermocouple or other temperature sensor for monitoring the temperature of the ablation probe tip.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2021Publication date: July 8, 2021Applicant: TRACELESS BIOPSY, LLCInventors: Charles GILLILAND, Parth PATEL, Corey MARPLE, Carolyn DARRELL, Kelly IN, Sumi MARION, Kirk CHARLES, Brian VANHIEL
