  • Publication number: 20240001078
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a delivery catheter for implanting a leadless biostimulator. The delivery catheter includes a shaft and a tubular body having a lumen and an atraumatic end. The atraumatic end includes at least one of a braided, woven or mesh construction configured to facilitate the atraumatic end changing diameter. When a distal portion of the shaft is coupled to a proximal region of the leadless biostimulator, at least one of distally displacing the tubular body relative to the shaft or proximally displacing the shaft relative to the tubular body causes the leadless biostimulator to be received in the volume of the atraumatic end and the atraumatic end to encompass the leadless biostimulator. Conversely, at least one of proximally displacing the tubular body relative to the shaft or distally displacing the shaft relative to the tubular body causes the leadless biostimulator to exit the volume of the atraumatic end.

  • Publication number: 20220395266
    Abstract: Described herein is a medical device including a frame having proximal and distal ends. The frame includes a proximal disc at the proximal end, a distal disc at the distal end, and a connecting segment extending between the proximal end and the distal end and connecting the proximal and distal discs. Each of the proximal and distal discs includes a respective plurality of lobes. Each lobe is defined by a peripheral strut. The medical device also includes at least one patch. The at least one patch is coupled to at least one of the proximal and distal discs of the frame.

  • Patent number: 11259788
    Abstract: A medical device is provided in which one or both ends of the device encourage the formation of tissue across substantially the entire area of the respective end that is exposed to the blood flow for reducing the risk of a thrombotic embolism. The medical device further includes stabilizing wires configured to engage tissue at a target site when the medical device is in an expanded configuration and to at least partially retract into the medical device when the medical device is in a collapsed configuration.
