Publication number: 20230263996Abstract: Catheter steering handles that are ergonomically designed to enable an operator to reduce hand fatigue. Various ergonomic aspects of the disclosed steering handles include geometries that more naturally conform to the palm of the hand and that enable the hand to be held in a natural, low stress posture during operation of the steering handle. In another aspect of the disclosure, the catheter steering handle is configured so that the operator can release or partially release the grip on the handle, thereby enabling the operator to relax and flex the hand, thereby reducing fatigue.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Applicant: IPG PHOTONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Gregory ALTSHULER, Ilya YAROSLAVSKY, Dmitri BOUTOUSSOV, Viktoriya ANDREEVA, Olivier TRAXER, Michael BARENBOYM, Isaac OSTROVSKY, Anastasiya KOVALENKO

Publication number: 20220142463Abstract: Steering handles with manifolds that enable an operator to configure an endoscopic system in situ for a variety of tasks, including irrigation, aspiration, or both. In addition, the disclosed endoscopic systems facilitate rapid reconfiguration of the location of a laser fiber optic within a catheter assembly. The laser fiber optic, for example, can be removed from an irrigation channel of the endoscopic system and reinserted in the aspiration channel during a laser lithotripsy procedure. In some embodiments, the removal and reinsertion can be performed in situ, without removing the catheter from the patient or the treated organ. These aspects of the disclosed system reduce the time required to perform laser lithotripsy procedures, with less trauma to the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2020Publication date: May 12, 2022Applicant: IPG PHOTONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Gregory ALTSHULER, Ilya YAROSLAVSKY, Dmitri BOUTOUSSOV, Viktoriya ANDREEVA, Olivier TRAXER, Michael BARENBOYM, Isaac OSTROVSKY, Anastasiya KOVALENKO

Patent number: 10561407Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to apparatuses, devices, and methods for secure connections between tubular structures. In one implementation, a first tube constructed of nitinol may have windows formed on an end thereof. A second tube constructed of stainless steel tube may be inserted within the first tube, and the windows may be filled with adhesive or solder. The adhesive or solder may bond with the first tube, forming connection pins which secure the tubes together. In some embodiments, the connected tubes may form an endoscopic needle. The nitinol portion of the needle may be sufficiently flexible for positioning within the bending section of an endoscope without deformation. The stainless steel portion of the needle may render the needle significantly less expensive than prior needles constructed solely of nitinol.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: HOYA CORPORATIONInventors: Christopher Kadamus, Robb Morse Gavalis, Azadeh Khanicheh, Isaac Ostrovsky, Hrishikesh Vishvas Deo, James S.
