Patent number: 8347880Abstract: A flexible pneumostoma management device maintains the patency of a pneumostoma while controlling the flow of material through the pneumostoma. The pneumostoma management device includes a pneumostoma vent having a tube which enters the pneumostoma to allow gases to escape the lung, a flange and a filter/valve to control flow of materials through the tube. The flange is a thin flexible patch which conforms and attaches to the chest of the patient. The flange secures the tube in position in the pneumostoma. The device has features to control secretions from the pneumostoma. The secretion management features include, ridges, pores, absorbent materials, and combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2009Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Potaero, Inc.Inventors: Don Tanaka, Joshua P.

Publication number: 20090205645Abstract: A method for maintaining the patency of a pneumostoma while controlling the flow of material through the pneumostoma. A pneumostoma management system includes a two-part pneumostoma management device and associated insertion and removal tools. The pneumostoma management device includes a pneumostoma vent and a chest mount for positioning and securing the vent into a pneumostoma. To use the system, the chest is first cleaned and the chest mount secured to the chest adjacent the pneumostoma. The pneumostoma vent is then inserted into the pneumostoma through an aperture in the chest mount until it is engaged and secured by a coupling of the chest mount. The pneumostoma vent may be replaced periodically such as daily. The chest mount may be changed less frequently such as weekly.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2009Publication date: August 20, 2009Applicant: Portaero, Inc.Inventors: Don Tanaka, Joshua P.

Patent number: 5100429Abstract: An uncured or partially cured, collagen-based material is delivered to a selected site in a blood vessel and is crosslinked in the blood vessel by laser energy or other suitable energy to form an endovascular stent. The collagen-based material can be delivered to the blood vessel as a coating on an inflatable balloon mounted on the distal end of a catheter. The collagen-based material can also be delivered to the blood vessel in liquid form and forced through a porous balloon to form a tubular configuration. The collagen-based material is preferably crosslinked by laser radiation carried through an optical fiber to a diffusing tip located within the balloon. In another embodiment, an endovascular stent is formed by rolling a flexible sheet of biologically-compatible material onto an outside surface of an inflatable balloon.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1989Date of Patent: March 31, 1992Assignee: C. R. Bard, Inc.Inventors: Edward L. Sinofsky, Gary L. Boseck, Edward I. McNamara
