  • Patent number: 7873249
    Abstract: A fiber optic cable includes an optical fiber, a strength layer surrounding the optical fiber, and a jacket assembly surrounding the strength layer. The jacket assembly includes a foam. A method for manufacturing a fiber optic cable includes mixing a base material, a chemical foaming agent and a shrinkage reduction material into a mixture in an extruder. The mixture is heated so that the base material and the chemical foaming agent form a foam with shrinkage reduction material embedded into the foam. An optical fiber and strength layer are fed into a crosshead. The mixture is extruded around the optical fiber and the strength layer to form a jacket assembly.

  • Publication number: 20100058581
    Abstract: A preparation tool includes a base with first and second ends and first and second major sides. A first cable insertion opening extends from the first end toward the second end. A first slot in the first major side communicates with the first opening for receiving a jacket cutting tool. A second insertion opening extends from the first end toward the second end. A second slot in the first major side communicates with the second opening for receiving a marking tool. A third cable insertion opening extends from the first end toward the second end and forms a stop surface therein. A recess formed in the first major side and in the second end defines a platform. A cable channel extends from the third insertion opening across the platform to the second end. Two pins project from the platform on opposite sides of the channel. The base includes a stationary portion and a pivotal portion. The pins are located on the stationary portion. The movable portion defines the second end of the base.

  • Publication number: 20090099592
    Abstract: Described herein are various implant delivery systems and methods of use. The systems can include an implantable medical device mated to a pusher wire via a detachable link. The user can detach the detachable link by rotating the pusher wire. For example, the detachable link can include first and second interlocking members, where the first interlocking member including a male mating surface and the second interlocking member including a female mating surface. The first and second body members can be mechanically interlocked, for example, with a pin and a slot.

  • Publication number: 20080221654
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are various systems and methods for delivering implantable devices, such as, for example detachable embolic coils. The systems can include an embolic coil mated to a pusher wire via a detachable link comprising first and second engaging members and an expandable member or a sleeve. The expandable member or sleeve can reduce relative movement between the engaging members to inhibit premature detachment and/or jamming of the detachable link as the embolic coil is delivered through a catheter.
