Patent number: 11944331Abstract: A medical device may include an elongated body, a balloon positioned at a distal portion of the elongated body, and one or more pressure-wave emitters positioned along a central longitudinal axis of the elongated body within the balloon. The one or more pressure-wave emitters may be configured to propagate pressure waves radially outward through the fluid to fragment a calcified lesion at the target treatment site. The at least one of the one or more pressure-wave emitters may comprise an electronic emitter including a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode may be arranged to define a spark gap between the first electrode and the second electrode, and the second electrode may comprise a portion of a hypotube.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: FastWave Medical Inc.Inventors: Edward Anderson, Randy Beyreis, Scott Nelson, JiChao Sun, Brady Hatcher, Ae-Suk Pauling, Daryl Kiefer, Dannah Dean, Curtis Goreham-Voss, Parker Hagen, Tristan Tieso, Lauren Eno

Patent number: 5876420Abstract: An improved medical instrument with a releasable lock interposed between the handles of the medical instrument to hold the jaws in closed position to grip an object. The lock has at least one flexible finger and a plurality of movable sleeves that allow one hand operation to selectively lock and release the jaws without substantial lateral displacement of the object. A plurality of locking stops is provided so that the jaws may be held closed at a variety to tensions, to accommodate a variety of objects.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 1997Date of Patent: March 2, 1999Assignee: InnomedicaInventors: Thomas J. Noll, Daryl Kiefer, Michael C. Chappuis, Robert C. Collins
