Darragh McDermott 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).

  • Connector assembly for an electrical stimulation system and methods of making and using
    Patent number: 11612755
    Abstract: A connector and lead (or other elongated body) can produce a tactile sensation that indicates alignment between connector contacts of the connector and the terminals on the lead (or other elongated body). For example, a terminal or retention sleeve of the lead (or other elongated body) may include an indented circumferential groove that interacts with a connector contact or retention contact of the connector to produce the tactile sensation. As another example, one or more terminals or spacers may have a larger diameter than adjacent spacers or terminals to interact with a connector contact to produce the tactile sensation.

  • RF ABLATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS USING A REMOTE OR IN-LINE CONTROLLER
    Publication number: 20220202484
    Abstract: A RF ablation system includes a RF electrode coupleable to a RF generator for delivering RF energy from the RF generator to patient tissue for ablation, the RF electrode including an electrode hub, an electrode shaft extending from the electrode hub, and a cable extending from the electrode hub. The RF ablation system also includes an in-line controller coupleable to the RF generator for controlling the delivering of the RF energy from the RF generator along the RF electrode, wherein the in-line controller is configured for placement nearer the electrode hub than the RF generator and includes at least one actuator for controlling the delivering of the RF energy.
