Patent number: 11607261Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices allow intravascular or percutaneous mapping, orientation and/or ablation, in bodily cavities or lumens. A device includes elongate members, moveable between an unexpanded configuration and an expanded or fanned configuration. The elongate members form a stack in the unexpanded configuration to fit through a catheter sheath. The elongate members follow respective arcuate or curvilinear paths as advanced from the sheath into the bent or coiled stack configuration, adopting volute, scroll or rho shapes, and may be nested. The elongated members are fanned or radially spaced circumferentially with respect to one another into the expanded or fanned configuration. Transducer elements carried by elongate members sense various physiological characteristics of or proximate tissue, and/or may apply energy to or proximate tissue. The elongate members are rotatable in groups or as a group in the expanded configuration. The device is retractable.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2019Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: KARDIUM INC.Inventors: Fernando Lopes, Saar Moisa, Jorge Jaramillo, Douglas Goertzen, Peter Hawes, Ashkan Sardari, Aldo Antonio Salvestro

Patent number: 11033191Abstract: A medical system may include a shaft member and a structure physically coupled to the shaft member. A portion of the shaft member may be sized to be delivered through a bodily opening leading to a bodily cavity. The structure may include at least two flexible couplings, each flexible coupling extending transversely from an intermediate portion of a respective one of at least two elongate members of the structure. The flexible coupling extending transversely from the intermediate portion of a first one of the at least two elongate members forms at least a part of a first closed loop arranged to receive a portion of the flexible coupling of a second one of the at least two elongate members therethrough to limit a spacing between the intermediate portions of the first and the second ones of the at least two elongate members.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2020Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: KARDIUM INC.Inventors: Aldo Antonio Salvestro, John Andrew Funk, Kelly Wilson Watkinson, Saar Moisa
