Abstract: An example catheter tube includes an inner conduit and a reinforcement structure. The reinforcement structure includes a coiled wire surrounding the inner conduit and a braided wire assembly surrounding the coiled wire. The reinforcement structure is configured to cause the inner conduit to resist radial deformation as a medical device is moved through the inner conduit. An example medical intervention system includes the example catheter and an example medical device that can be deployed and implanted using the catheter. An example method of performing a medical intervention includes moving the medical device through the inner conduit of the catheter tube, and, while the medical device is moving through the inner conduit, causing the inner conduit to resist radial deformation with the reinforcement structure of the catheter tube.

Abstract: A stent device includes a single wire forming a braided body that extends between a proximal end and a distal end. The wire is formed of drawn filled tube (DFT). The braided body has a braid density in a range of 15 programmable picks per inch (PPI) to 34 PPI. The stent device is configured for implantation in a cerebral dural venous sinus and, when implanted, is configured to generate a chronic outward force sufficient to change blood flow within the cerebral dural venous sinus from pulsatile flow or turbulent flow to laminar flow.

Abstract: An audio detection system includes a mouthpiece configured to detect vibrations occurring at a subject's head, generate a signal based on the vibrations, and transmit the signal. The audio detection system also includes a signal processing module configured to receive the signal from the mouthpiece as an audio input signal, generate an output signal based on the audio input signal, and transmit the output signal. A method of detecting an abnormal condition experienced by a subject includes detecting vibrations within the subject's head at a mouthpiece positioned within the subject's mouth, generating a signal based on the vibrations at the mouthpiece, transmitting the signal from the mouthpiece to a signal processing module, receiving the signal as an audio input signal at the signal processing module, generating an output signal based on the audio input signal at the signal processing module, and transmitting the output signal.

Abstract: New devices use baffles and multiple diameters to treat and prevent ringing in the ears by altering pressure gradients in subject sinuses/vessels. Novel braided stents with variable radial force based upon wires added and woven allows 7-11 cm therapies, for example, to resolve pulsatile tinnitus in patients under conscious sedation.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of making barrel stents/flow diverters and braided stents, which artisans may use to resolve tinnitus, inter alia.
