Patent number: 10898681Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to cannulating devices and methods for exchanging cannulating devices in an endoscopic procedure. In one implementation, an apparatus for endoscopic operations is described. The apparatus includes a cannulating device to be introduced through an internal lumen of an endoscope via a biopsy port. The cannulating device has an elongated body. The elongated body includes a guidewire lumen configured to receive a guidewire therein, and a slit extending over at least a portion of the length of the elongated body from a distal tip to a proximal position of the elongated body.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Hoya CorporationInventors: Azadeh Khanicheh, Isaac Ostrovsky, Almir Velagic, Michael Barenboym

Publication number: 20210015365Abstract: Optical sensors, systems, and methods are described, which may be used to provide or analyze information about a subject. The optical sensor may be placed in proximity to the subject and may include optical sources and optical detectors. The optical sources may irradiate the subject with optical signals and the optical detectors can detect signals from the subject. Analysis of the detected signals can yield information about the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2020Publication date: January 21, 2021Applicant: Invisio Medical, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Muehlemann, Catherine Pace, Karim Haroud, Stefan Troller, Azadeh Khanicheh, Michel Bruehwiler, Jeffery J.

Patent number: 10881838Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to apparatuses, systems, and methods for merging a balloon catheter onto a locked guidewire. In one implementation, a balloon catheter may include an inflatable balloon affixed thereto and a slit extending from a distal end of a guidewire lumen to a position proximal of the balloon. The slit may be widened by a working member of an adapter to allow passage of the locked guidewire into the guidewire lumen of the balloon catheter. The balloon catheter may be merged onto the guidewire via the slit and delivered to the desired treatment device without requiring the guidewire to be unlocked. Advantageously, access to at least one desired treatment site may be maintained with the guidewire during merging of the balloon catheter.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: HOYA CORPORATIONInventors: Azadeh Khanicheh, Isaac Ostrovsky, Almir Velagic, Michael Barenboym

Patent number: 10881831Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to apparatuses, systems, and methods for merging an endoscopic basket delivery catheter onto a fixed guidewire. In one implementation, a catheter may include a sheath having a saddle secured to a distal portion thereof. The sheath may constrain an endoscopic tool such as a basket therein, while the saddle may receive a portion of a guidewire. The saddle may include a slit extending along its longitudinal length. The slit may be widened by a working member of an adapter to allow passage of a locked guidewire into the guidewire lumen of the saddle. The catheter may be merged onto the guidewire via the slit and delivered to the desired treatment device without unlocking of the guidewire. Advantageously, access to at least one desired treatment site may be maintained with the guidewire during merging of the catheter.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: HOYA CORPORATIONInventors: Azadeh Khanicheh, Isaac Ostrovsky, Almir Velagic, Michael Barenboym

Patent number: 10674894Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for device exchange in an endoscopic procedure. In one implementation, a system for device exchange in an endoscopic procedure includes an elongated device having a slit extending from a distal end to a proximal end of the elongated device, a main block, and an adapter. The main block is configured to be affixed to a port of an endoscope. The main block includes a main channel for receiving a guidewire and the elongated device. The adapter can be engaged with the main block and configured to merge the guidewire into the elongated device. The adapter includes a working channel for receiving the elongated device and a working member raising from an inner wall of the working channel. When the elongated device passes through the working channel, the working member wedges open a portion of the slit of the elongated device such that a portion of the guidewire merges into the elongated device through the opened portion of the slit.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2017Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: HOYA CORPORATIONInventors: Azadeh Khanicheh, Isaac Ostrovsky, Michael Barenboym, Almir Velagic

Patent number: 10561407Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to apparatuses, devices, and methods for secure connections between tubular structures. In one implementation, a first tube constructed of nitinol may have windows formed on an end thereof. A second tube constructed of stainless steel tube may be inserted within the first tube, and the windows may be filled with adhesive or solder. The adhesive or solder may bond with the first tube, forming connection pins which secure the tubes together. In some embodiments, the connected tubes may form an endoscopic needle. The nitinol portion of the needle may be sufficiently flexible for positioning within the bending section of an endoscope without deformation. The stainless steel portion of the needle may render the needle significantly less expensive than prior needles constructed solely of nitinol.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: HOYA CORPORATIONInventors: Christopher Kadamus, Robb Morse Gavalis, Azadeh Khanicheh, Isaac Ostrovsky, Hrishikesh Vishvas Deo, James S. Pelletier

Patent number: 10524639Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure may include an endoscope floor stand. In accordance with one embodiment, an endoscope floor stand may include a base and an adjustable body. The body may include at least a first elongated structure having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is connected to the base. The body may also include at least a second elongated structure slideably moveable relative to the first elongated structure to adjust a height of the endoscope floor stand, and the second elongated structure may be suspended above the base. The stand may also include a ball joint, wherein at least a portion of the ball joint is configured to removably couple to an end of the body located opposite the base. The ball joint may also include a holder extending from the ball joint and dimensioned to receive an endoscope.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2015Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: HOYA CorporationInventors: Azadeh Khanicheh, Isaac Ostrovsky, Michael Barenboym, Hrishikesh Vishvas Deo
