Patent number: 8900176Abstract: An indwelling catheter device and a method of treatment using the indwelling catheter device are provided. The indwelling catheter device includes an elongate shaft having a proximal portion, a distal portion, a first lumen extending longitudinally therethrough and an inflation lumen extending at least partially through the shaft. The distal portion of the shaft includes a first opening connected to the first lumen. The catheter device further includes a balloon operably connected to an outer surface of the shaft proximal to the first opening wherein the balloon at least partially surrounds the shaft. The inflation lumen is connected to the balloon for selective inflation and deflation of the balloon for disrupting migration of the occluding material and inhibiting the material from occluding the first opening when the catheter device is indwelling.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2010Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Cook Medical Technologies LLCInventor: Frances Kristen Bailey

Patent number: 8366761Abstract: A medical device delivery system has a tubular member defining a passageway and an inner member slideably disposed within the passageway. An expandable intraluminal medical device is disposed on a chamber of the inner member, and an evertable sleeve is attached to the inner member proximal to the chamber and to an inner surface of the tubular member. Relative movement between the tubular and outer members moves the evertable sleeve from a first position substantially overlying the expandable intraluminal medical device to a second position substantially proximal to the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2012Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Cook Medical Technologies LLCInventors: Ram H. Paul, Brian C. Case, Brian P. Feng, Frances Kristen Bailey

Patent number: 7798999Abstract: An adjustable length catheter device, a kit and a method of providing the adjustable length catheter device to a patient are provided. The catheter device includes an elongate shaft having a proximal portion, a distal portion, a first lumen and a second lumen extending at least partially therethrough. The catheter device further includes a manifold operably connected to the shaft. The manifold is configured to longitudinally move along the shaft towards the distal portion for separating the proximal portion of the shaft into a first proximal shaft portion including the first lumen and a second proximal shaft portion including the second lumen.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2007Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Cook IncorporatedInventors: Frances Kristen Bailey, Jessica L. Burke, Grant T. Hoffman, Ram H. Paul, Jr.

Patent number: 7678144Abstract: The invention relates to a prosthetic valve for regulating fluid flow through a body lumen. The valve includes a frame and a valve member comprising at least one semi-rigid leaflet and at least one flexible leaflet. The at least one semi-rigid leaflet comprises a first portion and a second portion, the first portion attached to the frame and the second portion free of the frame. The at least one semi-rigid leaflet is slanted in a retrograde direction from the second portion to the first portion. The at least one flexible leaflet comprises a first portion and a second portion, the first portion attached to the frame and the second portion free of the frame. The at least one flexible leaflet is slanted in a retrograde direction from the first portion to the second portion when at rest.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2008Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Cook IncorporatedInventors: Frances Kristen Bailey, Brian C. Case, Ram H. Paul, Jr.
