Publication number: 20240139470Abstract: The disclosure describes a reinforced catheter system, such as a wire, that includes an inner layer having an inner lumen configured to allow an object to slideably move within the inner lumen. The catheter system may include a reinforcement structure, having an outer coating, such as a polymer. The reinforcement structure may be coupled over the inner layer to thereby at least partially encapsulate the inner layer. The catheter system may include an outer surface coupled over the reinforcement structure and the inner layer to thereby encapsulate both the inner layer and the reinforcement structure. The outer coating of the reinforcement structure may be re-flowed to thereby bond the inner layer to the outer surface to thereby create a reinforced homogeneous structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Brady Hatcher, Randy Beyreis, Brett Allyn Williams

Patent number: 11918285Abstract: A medical device may include an elongated body having a distal elongated body portion and a central longitudinal axis. The medical device may include a balloon positioned along the distal elongated body portion. The balloon may be configured to receive a fluid to inflate the balloon such that an exterior balloon surface contacts a calcified lesion within a patient's vasculature. The medical device may include one or more pressure wave emitters positioned along the central longitudinal axis of the elongated body. The one or more pressure wave emitters may be configured to propagate at least one pressure wave through the fluid to fragment the calcified lesion. At least one pressure wave emitter may include an optical fiber configured to transmit laser energy into the balloon. The laser energy may be configured to create a cavitation bubble in the fluid.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Fast Wave Medical Inc.Inventors: JiChao Sun, Parker Hagen, Dannah Dean, Lauren Eno, Brady Hatcher, Curtis Goreham-Voss, Tristan Tieso, Edward Anderson, Scott Nelson, Dean Irwin, Bryan Goh, Charles Anthony Plowe, Randy Beyreis
