Patents by Inventor Daniel Keith Tomaschko

Daniel Keith Tomaschko has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Balloon cones and waists thinning methodology
    Patent number: 8357177
    Abstract: Medical balloons and balloon preforms are made by methods which include the step of selectively removing material from the proximal and/or distal ends of a segment. In the case of a thermoplastic material characterized by one or more glass transition temperatures, the segment may optionally be maintained at a temperature below the glass transition temperature of the segment during the material removal step.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 10, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 22, 2013
    Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.
    Inventors: Daniel Keith Tomaschko, Daniel James Horn, Xiao Kang Zhang, Nao Pao Lee
  • Balloon catheter tip design
    Patent number: 8303537
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to distal tip designs for catheter, wherein distal tip material is positioned about an inner shaft. The distal tip material may also be used as a tie layer for thermally bonding two incompatible materials together, such as a waist portion of a balloon to the inner shaft.
    Type: Grant
