  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSAPICAL ACCESS AND CLOSURE
    Publication number: 20140100604
    Abstract: Embodiments are described for creating and closing tissue access ports, such as transapical access ports, which involve placement of an introducer across the subject tissue structure, and deployment of a controllable port closure device assembly configured to remain in place with a ratcheting mechanism, and to hold the tissue surrounding the previous access port location closed against a sealing disc with proximal and distal strut assemblies, after the introducer has been removed.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 21, 2012
    Publication date: April 10, 2014
    Applicant: Entourage Medical Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Frank Litvack, John F. Shanley, Alan E. Shluzas, Stephen H. Diaz, Gary Steese-Bradley

  • Implantable medical device with openings for delivery of beneficial agents with combination release kinetics
    Publication number: 20060229713
    Abstract: A method and system for delivering drug includes a first set of holes filled with a first formulation of the drug and a second set of holes filled with a second formulation of the same drug. This dual formulation or dual release kinetic system allows the creation of specifically tailored release kinetics by summation of multiple release kinetics.
