Patent number: 11812990Abstract: Medical systems, devices and methods for creation of autologous tissue valves within a mammalian body are disclosed. One example of a device for creating a valve flap from a vessel wall includes an elongate tubular structure having a proximal portion and a distal portion and a longitudinal axis; a first lumen having a first exit port located on the distal portion of the elongate tubular structure; a second lumen having a second exit port located on the distal portion of the elongate tubular structure; a recessed distal surface on the distal portion of the elongate tubular structure, wherein the recessed distal surface is located distally to the first exit port; and an open trough on the recessed distal surface extending longitudinally from the first exit port.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2020Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: INTERVENE, INC.Inventors: Fletcher T. Wilson, Douglas Sutton, Christopher Scott Jones, Benjamin K. Cline, Mariel Fabro

Publication number: 20200205837Abstract: Described herein are passive nasal respiratory devices, in particular, passive nasal respiratory devices configured to achieve positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in a subject wearing the device. PEEP devices may have a threshold pressure for opening during expiration. These devices may include a flap valve that opens on inhalation nested with a spring valve that opens when exhalation pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold. The device may be configured to be comfortably worn by a sleeping subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2020Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventors: Benjamin K. CLINE, Ronald G. FRENCH, Frank W. WANG, Rajiv DOSHI, Ryan K. PIERCE
