Patent number: 11857287Abstract: A surgical drape is configured for covering a patient and an ultrasonography probe during surgical treatment of the patient. The surgical drape may include a first portion that includes a canopy portion. The canopy portion can be sized and shaped to at least partially cover a mechanical arm coupled to the ultrasonography probe and a proximal portion of the ultrasonography probe, and the canopy portion can be configured to move with the proximal portion of the ultrasonography probe when the ultrasonography probe is supported by the mechanical arm. A second portion can be coupled to the first portion, in which the second portion is sized and shaped to cover at least a portion of a torso of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2020Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: PROCEPT BioRobotics CorporationInventors: Nikolai Aljuri, Surag Mantri, Matt Sprinkel, James Badia, Nishey Wanchoo, Mark Baerenrodt, Kevin Staid

Patent number: 11129640Abstract: A cutting edge of a punch includes side segments and a central segment disposed between the side segments. When the punch head slides into a hollow blade, the central segment of the cutting edge meets the punch head before the side segments meet the punch head. The central segment starts cutting first, which can help avoid a dog-bone shaped hole when the punch is used on a blood vessel, such as the aorta.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2018Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: TC1 LLCInventors: John Duc Nguyen, Carine Hoarau, Steven H.

Patent number: 10772623Abstract: A coupling system includes an applicator tool and an attachment ring mounted on the applicator tool. Clips are contained within the applicator tool and are deployed through the attachment ring in order to anchor the attachment ring to biological tissue. When deployed, tips of the clips follow a curved trajectory through an annular cuff of the attachment ring and through the underlying tissue. The tips loop back out of the tissue and to a location where they are later trapped or clamped by the attachment ring. While the tips are trapped or clamped, the applicator tool cinches the clips by pulling rear segments of the clips. Thereafter, the applicator tool disconnects from the attachment ring which remains anchored to the tissue and serves as a coupling for a cannula. The cannula can have movable lock members that secure it to the attachment ring.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: TC1 LLCInventors: Carine Hoarau, Steven H. Reichenbach, J. Donald Hill, George Hsu, Andrew R. Miller, James Badia, Nina Boiadjieva, Shuo-Hsiu Chang, Philip Haarstad, Olga M. Stanescu, Stephen Kenneth Sundquist

Patent number: 9682180Abstract: A ventricular assist system and a method of implanting the system are disclosed. The system can have a pump, an inflow conduit, an outflow conduit, attachment ring, ring clamp, and a valvular structure. The attachment ring can be attached to the apex of the heart. The valvular structure can have a flexible, one-way valve in a rigid housing. The inflow conduit can be passed through the valvular structure and the attachment ring into a beating heart with minimal loss of blood. Devices such as slitting tool, coring knife, and/or C-clamp and use of the devices can form part of the system and method for implanting the ventricular assist device.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2010Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: THORATEC CORPORATIONInventors: Carine Hoarau, John Duc Nguyen, Steven H.

Patent number: 9326859Abstract: A delivery device for an annular implant that includes a balloon expansion mechanism and an annular implant having an adjustable dimension. The balloon expansion mechanism includes an inflation tube attached to a non-occluding balloon collar which is supported by trusses radially extending from a trocar. The annular implant further includes a flexible ring core, contiguous coiled spacers, and anchoring blocks. The flexible ring core is adjusted via a cinching mechanism. The anchoring blocks are spaced along the ring core by the contiguous coiled spacers, which keeps the distance between each pair of anchoring blocks equidistant as the ring core diameter is manipulated by the device user. The annular implant can also include gunbarrel elements housed in the trocar. Each gunbarrel element contains a gunbarrel pusher which drives an attachment element into the annular implant and annular tissue.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: John P. Cartledge, James Badia, James McCrea, Luis Baez, Peter Bentley
