  • Publication number: 20230321741
    Abstract: The disclosure includes a heat-staking device comprising a base, an upright arm coupled to the base, and a head vertically movable along the upright arm. In some embodiments, the head includes a main head unit, a quill coupled to the main head unit, an insulating tip holder coupled to the quill and configured to removably retain a thermal-installation tip, and a handle configured to cause vertical motion of the insulating tip holder. The quill may also include a soldering iron configured to heat the thermal-installation tip. In some embodiments, the heat-staking device is configured to swap out thermal-installation tips while the thermal-installation tips are still hot.

  • Publication number: 20230085616
    Abstract: This disclosure is related to devices and related methods for isolating a treatment region in a human body from fluid pressure. In various embodiments, an implantable device for isolating a treatment region in a human body from fluid pressure comprises a first elongated segment, and a second elongated segment, and one or more branch segments in fluid communication with one of the first elongated segment and the second elongated segment. The elongated segments have a combined cross section that is substantially conformable to an intraluminal cross section of a body lumen into which they are implanted. A method of installing an implantable medical device into the body of a patient comprises deploying a first elongated segment, deploying a second elongated segment, and deploying one or more branch segments in a target region of a vasculature.

  • Publication number: 20180168836
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward a steerable endovascular graft delivery device including an anti-cannulation member. The delivery device generally includes a guide wire extension element, a steering wire, and a membrane. The steering wire is operable to deflect a distal end of the guide wire extension element, and the membrane is operable to prevent cannulation of the gap that is formed between the guide wire extension element and the steering wire when the distal end of the guide wire extension element is deflected.
