Patent number: 11116509Abstract: A system and method for delivering an embolic device are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system and method may be directed to a combination of a catheter, coupler, and embolic device. The coupler is disposed inside of the catheter. The embolic device is coupled with a retaining mechanism at the proximal end. Until the embolic device is delivered to a certain location within an artery, the embolic device is engaged with the catheter by engaging the coupler with the retaining mechanism. The embolic device is further secured to the delivery catheter by securing the coupler with a securing mechanism formed on the catheter. When the delivery catheter reaches the desired location in the artery, the embolic device is released from the delivery catheter by simply pulling the coupler proximally such that the loop portion of the coupler first becomes disengaged from the locking window and then from the retaining mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2017Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Avantec Vascular CorporationInventors: Brett A Follmer, Ryan M Hoshino, Nicholas deBeer, Andrew Scott Huffmaster, Karl Sterling Halden

Patent number: 10517768Abstract: Devices, kits and methods described herein may be for wound healing, including the treatment, amelioration, or prevention of scars and/or keloids by applying and/or maintaining a pre-determined strain in an elastic skin treatment device that is then affixed to the skin surface using skin adhesives to transfer a generally planar force from the bandage to the skin surface. Applicators are used to apply and/or maintain the strains, and some of the applicators are further configured to provide at least some mechanical advantage to the user when exerting loads onto the skin treatment device.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2016Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Neodyne Biosciences, Inc.Inventors: John A. Zepeda, Jasper Jackson, William R. Beasley, Darren G. Doud, Brett A. Follmer
