  • Publication number: 20250134477
    Abstract: A method of generating images of a specimen that includes triggering a source of electromagnetic radiation to emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation along an axis through a tissue specimen and towards an imaging detector, generating at least one image with the received beam at the imaging detector, and superimposing, into or adjacent the at least one image by a system controller, a set of graphical indications that convey portions of a patient's body from which respective portions of the specimen were assumed to have been excised.

  • Patent number: 11957357
    Abstract: Vascular expandable devices and associated methods are disclosed herein. An expandable vascular device can include a generally tubular sidewall formed of a plurality of braided strands. The device can have a compressed state for delivery in which the device has a compressed state diameter of 0.027 inches or less. The device can have an expanded state in which the device has an expanded state diameter. A full expansion distance of the device corresponds to a longitudinal unconstrained distance at which the distal end of the expandable device attains the expanded state diameter. The full expansion distance can be 20 mm or less.

  • Patent number: 11759342
    Abstract: Vascular expandable devices and associated methods are disclosed herein. An expandable vascular device can be implantable across an aneurysm in a blood vessel of a patient. The device can include a generally tubular structure formed of a plurality of braided metallic elements. The device can have a compressed state with a compressed state diameter of 0.027 inches or less and an expanded state with an expanded state diameter of 1.75 mm or more. Each of the plurality of metallic strands can have an oxide layer having a thickness of about 400 angstroms or less. The tubular structure can be configured to self-expand from the compressed state to the expanded state.

  • Patent number: 11623067
    Abstract: In some examples, a catheter comprises an inner liner, an outer jacket, and a structural support member positioned between at least a portion of the inner liner and the outer jacket. The inner liner, the outer jacket, and the structural support member define a catheter body that comprises a proximal portion having a first outer diameter, a distal portion having a second outer diameter less than the first outer diameter, the distal portion including a distal end of the catheter body, and a medial portion positioned between the proximal portion and the distal portion, the medial portion tapering from the first outer diameter to the second outer diameter.

  • Patent number: 10398874
    Abstract: In some examples, an outer jacket of a catheter body comprises a first section that decreases in durometer along a length of the first section in a direction towards a distal end of the catheter body, and a second section more distal than the first section and including the distal end of the catheter body, the second section having a higher durometer than a distal portion of the first section. The second section of the outer jacket and the inner liner define a distal opening of the catheter body that is configured to resist geometric deformation when the distal end of the catheter body is engaged with a guidewire.
