Patent number: 9005225Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a device for facilitating treatment via a vascular wall defining a vascular lumen containing an occlusion therein. The device includes an intravascular device including a shaft having a distal end and a proximal end. The device includes a handle assembly fixed about the proximal end of the shaft, the handle assembly including a first portion. Rotation of the first portion in a first direction about a longitudinal axis of the shaft causes rotation of the shaft in the first direction when a torque applied by the first portion to the shaft is below a first maximum torque. Further rotation of the first portion in the first direction about a longitudinal axis of the shaft does not cause rotation of the shaft in the first direction when the torque applied by the first portion to the shaft is equal to or above the first maximum torque.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2014Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Bridgepoint Medical, Inc.Inventors: David Bryan Robinson, Chad John Kugler, Matthew Jonathan Olson, Ross Arlen Olson, Peter Alan Jacobs

Patent number: 8337425Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for treating diseases and disorders effecting the cardiovascular system of the human body are disclosed. An exemplary blood vessel in accordance with this disclosure comprises a shaft, tip member fixed to the shaft, and a probe extending beyond a distal surface of the tip member. In some useful embodiments, the tip member is relatively atraumatic and the probe is shaped so as to be more likely to produce trauma than the tip member.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2009Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Bridgepoint Medical, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Jonathan Olson, Chad John Kugler, Ross Arlen Olson, David Bryan Robinson, Peter Alan Jacobs

Patent number: 8172863Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a device for facilitating treatment via a vascular wall defining a vascular lumen containing an occlusion therein. The device includes an intravascular device including a shaft having a distal end and a proximal end. The device further includes a handle assembly fixed about the proximal end of the shaft, the handle assembly including a first portion. Further rotation of the first portion in a first direction about a longitudinal axis of the shaft causes rotation of the shaft in the first direction when a torque applied by the first portion to the shaft is below a first maximum torque. Still further, rotation of the first portion in the first direction about a longitudinal axis of the shaft does not cause rotation of the shaft in the first direction when the torque applied by the first portion to the shaft is equal to or above the first maximum torque.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2009Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Bridgepoint Medical, Inc.Inventors: David Bryan Robinson, Chad John Kugler, Matthew Jonathan Olson, Ross Arlen Olson, Peter Alan Jacobs
