Publication number: 20220054132Abstract: The invention provides devices, systems and methods for tissue approximation and repair at treatment sites. The devices, systems and methods of the invention will find use in a variety of therapeutic procedures, including endovascular, minimally-invasive, and open surgical procedures, and can be used in various anatomical regions, including the abdomen, thorax, cardiovascular system, heart, intestinal tract, stomach, urinary tract, bladder, lung, and other organs, vessels, and tissues. The invention is particularly useful in those procedures requiring minimally-invasive or endovascular access to remote tissue locations, where the instruments utilized must negotiate long, narrow, and tortuous pathways to the treatment site. In addition, many of the devices and systems of the invention are adapted to be reversible and removable from the patient at any point without interference with or trauma to internal tissues.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2021Publication date: February 24, 2022Applicant: EVALVE, INC.Inventors: Theodore W. Ketai, Jacob Greenberg, Daniel Hale, Tanmay Mishra, Gabriel Gonzales, Raghuveer Basude, Michael Hong

Publication number: 20140094889Abstract: An implantable therapy lead employs electrical conductors configured to enhance the abrasion resistance of the lead. Specifically, conductors are configured to create a surface contact area with walls of a wall lumen of a tubular body that is greater than would otherwise be possible with traditional conductors that have a circular transverse cross-section. As a result, the abrasion pressure of the conductors against the lumen walls is decreased for the conductors disclosed herein as compared to that of traditional conductors.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2012Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicant: PACESETTER, INC.Inventors: Tyler Strang, Daniel Hale, Michael Childers, Xiaoyi Min, Wenbo Hou, Phong D.
