Patent number: 10426936Abstract: An intravascular balloon catheter that may include, for example, a first elongate member having a proximal end, an opening at the distal end and a lumen therebetween, a balloon defining a cavity, the balloon having a proximal waist sealingly attached to the first elongate member proximal the distal end, a distal waist, and a tubular portion therebetween, a second elongate member having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen therebetween, the second elongate member disposed in the first elongate member and sealingly attached to the balloon distal waist, and a stopper attached to the second elongate member and disposed in the balloon cavity distal the distal end of the first elongate member, the stopper having an outer profile that prevents movement of the first elongate member thereover the first elongate member having an inner diameter at the distal end large enough to permit the passage of fluid therethrough over the second elongate member.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2016Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Dominick Godin, John Blix, Derek Wise, Richard C. Gunderson

Patent number: 8439961Abstract: A catheter system comprises a catheter comprising a distal portion, a proximal portion and an inner shaft. The inner shaft comprises a medical device receiving region for receiving and carrying a medical device. The retaining device is at least partially constructed of an electroactive polymer. The retaining device is located on or adjacent to the medical device receiving region. The electroactive polymer of the retaining device has an activated state and an inactivated state. The retaining device is capable of retaining a medical device to the catheter and releasing the medical device from the catheter by transitioning between the activated state and the inactivated state.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2006Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Karl A. Jagger, Tracee Eidenschink, Derek Sutermeister, Daniel Gregorich, Yousef Alkhatib, Matt Heidner, Adam Jennings, Richard C. Gunderson, John Blix, Timothy J. Mickley, Richard Olson, Jan Weber, Dominick Godin

Patent number: 7909844Abstract: A catheter comprises a first catheter shaft comprising a wall. The wall comprises at least one section of electroactive polymer having an actuated state and a non-actuated state and defines a first lumen. In the actuated state the first lumen haves a first diameter and in the non-actuated state the first lumen haves a second diameter, the first diameter being different than the second diameter.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2006Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Yousef Alkhatib, Matt Heidner, Tracee Eidenschink, Angela Kornkven Volk, John Blix, Dominick Godin, Derek Sutermeister
