  • Patent number: 11944768
    Abstract: A method of using a catheter assembly for inserting in a fluid filled space in a body includes providing a main body having a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is positioned within the fluid filled space. The second end portion is adjusted to extend outwardly from the fluid filled space when the first end portion is positioned within the fluid filled space. A catheter tip is connected to the second end portion of the main body. The catheter tip includes a housing having a cavity defined therein and a rotating element positioned within the fluid filled space. The rotating element is rotated within the cavity of the housing to impart movement of the first end portion of the main body within the fluid filled space.

  • Publication number: 20220008201
    Abstract: Devices for anchoring catheter systems, such as an atrioventricular heart valve regurgitation reduction system with a coapting element or spacer positioned within the atrioventricular valve leaflets. The spacer may be anchored above the atrioventricular valve with a rail that extends up into the subclavian vein, with tethers that attach to anchors around the annulus, or with a tether that connects to a stent expanded within an adjacent blood flow passage. The spacer may also be anchored below the atrioventricular valve with a rail that terminates in a tissue anchor within the ventricle, with tethers that attach to anchors around ventricle, or with a tether that connects to a stent expanded within an adjacent blood flow passage. The spacer may also be stabilized by a harness extending across the valve annulus or may be self-anchoring with an array of struts that extend into contact with the surrounding tissue.

  • Patent number: 9387374
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a set of golf club heads is disclosed. The set includes golf club heads with peripheral weights. The dimensions and configuration of at least the peripheral weights are changed from club-to-club along the set so that the center of gravity rises from the long irons to the short irons. By raising the center of gravity from the long irons to the short irons, a golfer will see a peak trajectory height along a line for each club head that is substantially more consistent along that line throughout the set than prior art clubs provide.
