Publication number: 20230210591Abstract: Temperature sensing catheters and systems that can be used during cardiac ablation procedures to measure and monitor temperatures, and the rate and spread of temperature changes in the heart. The temperature data can be used to calculate temperature gradients, which may be used to estimate if and when certain regions of heart may undergo injury due to thermal exposure. The temperature data can be used to limit or cut-off power delivery to an ablation catheter, or otherwise modify the ablation procedure, to prevent injury to certain regions of heart. In some cases, the temperature data is used to control aspects of the ablation in a feedback loop control scheme.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2021Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: Alexander MCLELLAN, Elli TUTUNGI, Matthew HALLAM, Vicki TUTUNGI

Publication number: 20230001136Abstract: A bi-directional perfusion cannula is provided that includes an elongate tube for insertion into an artery. The elongate tube has a first aperture at a distal end of the tube which is forward during insertion and configured so that blood can flow into the artery in the direction of insertion, an elbow formed in the elongate tube, and a second aperture formed in or slightly rearward of the elbow and configured for supplying blood into the artery in a second direction which is generally opposite to the insertion direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: Sorin Group Italia S.r.l.Inventors: Randall Moshinsky, James McMillan, Elli Tutungi

Patent number: 10653861Abstract: Elongate, steerable devices for insertion into a subject's body, including very narrow (small diameter) devices that may be configured as steerable catheters and guidewires for use in interventional cardiology and neuroradiology. Also described are methods of making and using these devices, and controllers for controlling these steerable devices. These steerable devices may have a bendable distal region, a plurality of tendons each attached to the distal bendable region and extending from the distal bendable region to a proximal handle region with a plurality of axial translation regions. The axial translation regions may be arranged along an outer surface of the proximal handle region and each axial translation region may be coupled to a tendon for bending the distal region. The axial translation regions may be elastically connected to each other, and configured to translate the tendon and thereby steer the distal bendable region.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2015Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Intellimedical Technologies Pty. Ltd.Inventors: Elli Tutungi, Brody C. Payne, Aubrey Almeida, Geoffrey William Rogers
