Patent number: 11471187Abstract: An invaginating device includes an inner elongate member and an outer flexible tube with invaginated axial ends. The outer flexible tube is: disposed at a first axial end of the inner elongate member; concentric with the inner elongate member; sized to provide a radial gap there between; sealably connected at the axial ends of the outer flexible tube to the inner elongate member, with the axial spacing between such sealed axial ends being less than the axial length of the outer tube; and extendable to protrude from the first axial end of the inner elongate member and retractable to reduce such protrusion from the first axial end of the inner elongate member. Fluid contained within the radial gap defined between the inner elongate member and the outer flexible tube is either pressurized or a non-compressible fluid.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2018Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Strait Access Technologies Holdings (Pty) Ltd.Inventors: Peter Paul Zilla, Braden Sydney Clive Van Breda, Deon Bezuidenhout

Publication number: 20220249264Abstract: An inflatable dilatation device includes: (i) a tubular frame including a first frame member that zigzags circumferentially; and (ii) an elongate inflatable first balloon. The elongate inflatable first balloon: (i) is secured to the first frame member; and (ii) zigzags along the first frame member, such that inflation of the first balloon causes the first balloon and the first frame member circumferentially to expand in unison from a contracted condition to an expanded condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2020Publication date: August 11, 2022Applicant: Tevar (PTY) LTDInventors: Braden Sydney Clive VAN BREDA, Preyen Agasthian PERUMALL, Reno Kochaeppen CHACKO, Fadi Nkoma FAKIH, Roman GOTTARDI, Peter ZILLA, Deon BEZUIDENHOUT

Patent number: 11304835Abstract: The invention provides an inflatable insertion device capable of being percutaneously introduced into a patient's body. The insertion device comprises an inflatable element having a distal end and a proximal end and which is operable between a collapsed condition and an inflated condition by introducing an inflating fluid therein. An elongate member extends internally of the inflatable element from its distal end. The internal member is capable of being withdrawn towards the proximal end of the inflatable element to result in the distal end of the element being withdrawn towards the proximal end internally of the element. The invention further provides a locating device comprising a catheter having a catheter tube fitted with one or more inflatable insertion devices at a distal end thereof.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2017Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Strait Access Technologies Holdings (PTY)Inventors: Giuseppe Geldenhuys, Fourie Gildenhuys, Braden Sydney Clive Van Breda, Kenneth Stuart Park, Carl Nick Van Zyl, Jandré De Villiers, Peter Paul Zilla, Deon Bezuidenhout

Patent number: 11033388Abstract: The invention provides a non-occlusive dilation and deployment catheter device which includes a catheter having a distal end configured for entering a patient and a proximal end for manipulating the device. A distender is provided at or near the distal end which is movable between a collapsed configuration which enables introduction and removal thereof to and from an operative site in a vessel or other hollow organ of a patient, and an expanded configuration in which the distender assumes a radially expanded condition and defines a flow path therethrough. The distender includes a substantially tubular, radially expandable frame having a plurality of spaced apertures and at least one inflatable tube threaded through the apertures and shaped to extend in a spiral when inflated. The distender is movable to the expanded configuration by inflating the tube, and movable to the collapsed configuration from the expanded configuration by deflating the tube.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2016Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Strait Access Technologies Holdings (PTY) LtdInventors: Thomas Gerhardt, Peter Rudi Haw, Jeremy Douglas Jarman, Giuseppe Geldenhuys, Kenneth Stuart Park, Braden Sydney Clive Van Breda, Edward Charles Mudge, Deon Bezuidenhout, Peter Paul Zilla

Patent number: 10792149Abstract: An expandable stent comprises a cylindrical wall made up of lattice members connected to each other, at least one first arm and at least one second arm. The first arm comprises: a first non-linear member that is connected at each of its axial ends to a lattice member at respective first junctions; a second non-linear member connected at each axial end to a lattice member; and at least one bridge member extending between the first member and the second member. The second arm comprises: a first non-linear member that is connected at each of its axial ends to a lattice member; a second non-linear member connected at each axial end to a lattice member; and at least one bridge member extending between the first member and the second member. The second member of the first arm is generally U-shaped, extending from its axial ends towards: (i) a first axial end of the stent; and (ii) towards the bridge of the first arm.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2017Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Strait Access Technologies Holdings (Pty) LtdInventors: Grant Leigh Nelson, Kenneth Stuart Park, Braden Sydney Clive Van Breda, Deon Bezuidenhout, Peter Zilla, Harish Appa
