Publication number: 20220211269Abstract: Methods and devices for implanting an intra-ocular pressure sensor within an eye of a patient are provided herein. Methods include penetrating a conjunctiva and sclera with a distal tip of a fluid-filled syringe and positioning the pressure sensor within a vitreous body of the eye by injecting the sensor device through the distal tip. The sensor device may be stabilized by one or more anchoring members engaged with the sclera so that the pressure sensor of the sensor device remains within the vitreous body. Methods further include advancing a sensor device having a distal penetrating tip through at least a portion of the sclera to position the sensor within the vitreous body and extracting of the sensor devices described herein by proximally retracting the sensor device using an extraction feature of the sensor device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2021Publication date: July 7, 2022Applicant: InjectSense, Inc.Inventors: Ariel Cao, Enrique Malaret

Patent number: 7758634Abstract: A bifurcated stent includes a first stent section and a second stent section. The first stent section is balloon expandable, has an unexpanded configuration, an expanded configuration, and a tubular wall defining a secondary opening. The secondary stent section is self-expanding and an end of the secondary stent section is engaged to a portion of the tubular wall of the primary stent section defining the secondary opening. The secondary stent section has an unexpanded configuration with a first length and an expanded configuration with a second length where the first length is less than the second length. The secondary stent section is expanded to the expanded configuration after the primary stent section is expanded to the expanded configuration. The secondary stent section forms a portion of the tubular wall of the primary stent section in the unexpanded configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2007Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Gregory G.

Patent number: 6695877Abstract: A bifurcated stent comprises a first stent section and a second stent section. Each stent section is expandable from a predeployed state to a deployed state independently from one another. The second stent section having an end engaged to a receiving region of the first stent section. In the deployed state the first stent section defines a primary flow path and the second stent section defines a secondary flow path in fluid communication with the first flow path. At least a portion of one or both the first stent section and second stent section is constructed from a wire member.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2002Date of Patent: February 24, 2004Assignee: SciMed Life SystemsInventors: Gregory G.

Publication number: 20030050676Abstract: In general, the invention is directed to techniques for using a magnet to suspend a function of an implanted device, and to verify that the function has been suspended. A suspension device emits a magnetic field to suspend a function of a device implanted in a body, receives a signal that the function has been suspended, and outputs an indicator that the function has been suspended. In this manner, an operator can proceed having confidence that the suspension of the function was completed, and did not fail due to inappropriate placement of the magnet, slippage, or any other of a number of reasons.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2001Publication date: March 13, 2003Inventors: Mark Hubelbank, Enrique Malaret, Bruce D. Gunderson, Walter H. Olson, James H. Ericksen, Kevin T. Ousdigian, Bradley A. Stone, Vincent W. Kapral
