Publication number: 20140235361Abstract: Torque shafts and other related systems and methods are described herein. The torque shafts are both flexible and capable of transmitting torque. The torque shafts are useful for procedures that require torque and pushability to drive or deploy a device. The flexibility and pushability of the torque shafts enable them to curve along a tortuous path, and the torque transferring capability of the shafts enable them to transmit torque along the shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2013Publication date: August 21, 2014Inventors: David C.

Publication number: 20070293919Abstract: A heat exchange fluid supply system for supplying a heat exchange fluid to an intravascular heat exchange catheter includes a disposable cassette having a bulkhead and an external heat exchanger, and which is configured to operate in combination with a reusable master control unit. The bulkhead includes a reservoir section and a pump section. The reservoir section is provided with a means to monitor the amount of heat exchange fluid that is in the system. The bulkhead provides the mechanism for priming the system with heat exchange fluid from an external source and for circulating fluid to the catheter in a closed circuit. The pump section is configured to allow for pumping of heat exchange fluid at a constant pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2007Publication date: December 20, 2007Applicant: RADIANT MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Timothy Machold, Nicole Bloom, Alex Roth, Dave Scott, Jose Alejandro, Edward Oliver

Publication number: 20070233161Abstract: Devices and methods for tissue acquisition and fixation, or gastroplasty, are described. Generally, the devices of the system may be advanced in a minimally invasive manner within a patient's body to create one or more plications within the hollow body organ. A tissue treatment device attached to a distal end of a flexible elongated member and has a cartridge member opposite an anvil member. The cartridge member and the anvil member are movable between a closed position and an open position relative to one another, and the cartridge member is re-loadable with a removable staple cartridge to form multiple plications within the organ with the same tissue treatment device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2007Publication date: October 4, 2007Applicant: SATIETY, INC.Inventors: Gary Weller, Alex Roth, Christopher Julian, James Gannoe, Andrew Hancock, Craig Gerbi, Crystine Lee

Publication number: 20070203552Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for temperature modification of a patient, or selected regions thereof, including an induced state of hypothermia. The temperature modification is accomplished using an in-dwelling heat exchange catheter within which a fluid heat exchange medium circulates. A heat exchange cassette of any one of several disclosed variations is attached to the circulatory conduits of the catheter, the heat exchange cassette being sized to engage a cavity within one of various described re-usable control units. The control units include a heater/cooler device, a user input device, and a processor connected to receive input from various sensors around the body and the system. The heater/cooler device may be thermoelectric to enable both heating and 15? cooling based on polarity. A temperature control scheme for ramping the body temperature up or down without overshoot is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2007Publication date: August 30, 2007Applicant: RADIANT MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: TIMOTHY MACHOLD, WADE KELLER, ALEX ROTH, NICOLE BLOOM
