Patent number: 11964116Abstract: A system for controlling a hemostasis valve includes a hemostasis valve having a body portion having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The hemostasis value further includes at least one valve positioned in the proximal end of the body portion and an engagement member operatively coupled to the at least one valve. The system further includes a first drive member coupled to the engagement member and a controller coupled to the first drive member. The controller is configured to control the first drive member to impart movement to the engagement member to open and close the at least one valve.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Corindus, Inc.Inventors: Peter Falb, Adam Young, Kevin Bagley, Erin-Anne Lemieux, Christopher Labak, Steven J. Blacker, Michael Atlas

Patent number: 11801366Abstract: A robotic catheter system includes a base and a robotic mechanism having a longitudinal axis and being movable relative to the base along the longitudinal axis. A flexible track is releasably secured to the base and includes an outer surface having a longitudinal opening slit extending therethrough to an inner channel. A rigid guide has a non-linear portion fixed relative to the robotic mechanism. A portion of the flexible track moves along the non-linear portion of the rigid guide away from the longitudinal axis when the robotic mechanism moves along the longitudinal axis.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Corindus, Inc.Inventors: Peter Falb, Adam Young, Kevin Bagley, Erin-Anne Lemieux, Christopher Labak, Steven J.

Publication number: 20220087699Abstract: A surgical handpiece nosecone having an end overmold portion and/or an internal overmold portion. The end overmold portion is located at an end of the nosecone and compressed between the surgical handpiece housing and nosecone. The internal overmold portion is positioned radially about the nosecone on the inner surface to provide a fluid tight seal that prevents ingress of irrigation fluid into the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2021Publication date: March 24, 2022Inventors: Robert A. Ketelhohn, Daniel J. Cotter, Prakash Manandhar, John Bertorelli, Saurav V. Gupta, Erin-Anne A. Lemieux

Patent number: 10098590Abstract: The table for performing breast biopsies is characterized by features that enhance patient comfort and facilitate performance of the biopsy. An opening in the table allowing the breast to extend below the table top is formed in a removable insert. An area of the insert includes padding. An alternate insert, having a different diameter opening may be selected based on patient breast size. Another insert having an asymmetrical opening may accommodate the patient's arm when it is desirable to position both the arm and breast of the patient below the table top. The table top is contoured such that symmetrical distal end sections are elevated relative to a central section to support the patient in multiple positions. A removable pad may be placed over the insert. An end portion for padding the hip of the patient is thicker than an end portion for padding the head/neck of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2017Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: HOLOGIC INC.Inventors: Kenneth F. DeFreitas, Ian Shaw, Kathy Pickett, Aaron Fand, Agnes Mercurio, Linda Volpe, Kelly Farmer, Darrin Manke, Erin-Anne A. Lemieux, Christopher Paul Loughnane, Christopher Labak
