  • TISSUE DISPLACEMENT TOOLS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20190021746
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for bone cavity preparation. Formed broaching members may be supported inside a bone by a rotator. The broaching members may be bowed out inside the bone to create a cavity having a shape determined by the broaching members and bone anatomy.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 24, 2018
    Publication date: January 24, 2019

  • Steerable device having a corewire within a tube and combination with a functional medical component
    Patent number: 8092483
    Abstract: An integrated guiding device has a tube and a corewire within the tube and a torque coupler. The torque coupler can couple the rotational motion of the tube with the rotational motion of the corewire. The wire can be moved longitudinally at least some amount relative to the tube. The device can further comprise a functional medical structure, such as an embolism protection structure. The device can be used in medical procedures, such as less invasive procedures within the cardiovascular system. Improved fiber based embolism protection devices comprise fiber bundles that are twisted prior to delivery.
