  • Patent number: 11938280
    Abstract: 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: Grant

  • Patent number: 11771458
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11366872
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20210205015
    Abstract: 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.
