Patent number: 12137972Abstract: An ablation probe comprising an elongate body extending a length along a longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end, the first end extending into a housing and the second end comprising an ablation probe tip configured for insertion into a biopsy tract in a patient. In example forms, the elongate body of the ablation probe can be inserted into a patient through an existing trocar needle or biopsy access cannula following completion of a biopsy. In other example forms, the elongate body of the ablation probe defines a lumen. In one example form, the lumen contains a wire for heating the ablation probe tip, which may be composed of graphite, a resistive metal, or another electrically-resistive material. In another example form, the lumen additionally contains a thermocouple or other temperature sensor for monitoring the temperature of the ablation probe tip.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2021Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: TRACELESS BIOPSY, LLCInventors: Charles Gilliland, Kirk Charles, Brian Vanhiel

Publication number: 20240225686Abstract: Disclosed herein is a rotary embolectomy device. The device includes a rotatable bit which contacts a blood clot within a cannula, thereby disintegrating the clot. The clot can be removed by means of suction, complete disintegration, or a collecting basket.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2023Publication date: July 11, 2024Inventors: Charles GILLILAND, Duc DAO, Kurt HICKMAN, Tanvi RAO, Melissa VALDMAN

Publication number: 20240198049Abstract: A drainage catheter system comprising a catheter having an elongate body \configured for insertion into an organ or cavity of a patient and a hub configured for coupling with a longitudinal shearing device and the first end of the catheter and movable over the elongate body of the catheter. A locking stay suture extends through the elongate body of the catheter. The length of the elongate body of the catheter can be adjusted by sliding the hub coupled to the longitudinal shearing device along the longitudinal axis of the catheter, and then creating a longitudinal cut in the catheter through which the proximal end of the locking stay suture can be removed and secured, thereby enabling the excess catheter tubing to be removed by cutting and allowing the base to rest flush against the patient's body.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2024Publication date: June 20, 2024Inventors: Charles GILLILAND, Baylee Brooke HEARD, Ann Marie STRINGER, Asia Pauline HERNANDEZ, Elizabeth Kaleigh JOHNSTON

Patent number: 11366872Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for digital navigation menus with dynamic content placement. Example methods may include determining a first request for a first user interface from a user device, determining a user identifier associated with the first request, and determining user interaction history data using the user identifier. Example methods may include determining a first selectable option for presentation in a first position at the first user interface using the user interaction history, determining a second selectable option for presentation in a second position at the first user interface, generating the first user interface, and sending the first user interface to the user device.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Kanwar Kabir Singh Bedi, Mintoo Kakati, Christopher Keating, Timothy Whalin, Sean Janis, Charles Gilliland
