Publication number: 20230329730Abstract: The present invention is directed to a manually actuated aspiration device, aspiration system and a method of use to enable and facilitate en bloc removal of undesirable intravascular material, including, but not limited to, thrombus, embolus, or vegetation through a working lumen of a suction cannula during minimally invasive percutaneous procedures. The aspiration device includes valves oriented in opposite direction to control the fluid flow through the aspiration system and into a waste collection component. Alternatively, the aspiration system further comprises a filter that removes undesirable intravascular material prior to reinfusing blood into a patient's vasculature.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: AngioDynamics, Inc.Inventors: Seth COTE, Kevin SWIFT, James CULHANE, James MITCHELL

Publication number: 20230073475Abstract: Documents, such as those that may or will be the subject of a litigation, may be managed by automatically determining that a document, such as an email or other communication, is privileged or producible such that superfluous documents may be removed to improve data storage and reduce the burden on storage, processing, and communication resources. Additionally, documents such as emails may comprise attached or embedded documents (e.g., attachments) which may be similarly or independently classified from their associated email. After determining privilege, such as via metadata associated with a sender/receiver of an email, similarly categorized documents may be grouped for presentation and/or storage. The documents may be indexed, such as by entries within a production log, to further facilitate accurate production and management of non-privileged documents, as well as, the exclusion of privileged documents. Documents not required for production may be indexed and/or purged from storage.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2022Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: Theodore Daniel Culhane, Daniel James Culhane, Brendan Haskins

Publication number: 20220105333Abstract: A medical device comprises a flexible member that can be adhesively attached to a housing of the medical device, allowing implantation of the medical device into a body through an incision of reduced size. The flexible member can be attached to the housing either before or after implantation into the body. The flexible member comprises suture locations, including a permeable membrane or a suture hole, for suturing the medical device to tissue of the body. The suture holes can be filled with a substance penetrable by a suture needle, to minimize tissue ingrowth before or after suturing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2021Publication date: April 7, 2022Applicant: ANGIODYNAMICS, INC.Inventors: George BOURNE, James CULHANE

Patent number: 11045647Abstract: A system and method for PEMF tissue engineering enhances musculoskeletal tissue stimulation by monitoring treatment for compliance with treatment regimens. A PEMF device includes sensors that detect attributes indicating whether the PEMF device is in use. The PEMF device also includes communication devices that connect it with other devices. The data obtained from the sensors may be used to determine a level of compliance in use of the tissue engineering device with a prescribed treatment regimen for the patient. The data is transferred via a paired UE to a remote server. The remote server stores the data in a database and periodically generates compliance reports. The compliance reports are shared with subscribing access devices including the prescribing physician. The UE pairing with the PEMF device maintains a treatment calendar and dynamically modifies reminders based on current treatment status. The treatment regimen may be updated and sent to the PEMF device.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: ORTHOFIX INC.Inventors: James T. Ryaby, Mamak Monica Keramat, Lesley Allen Bowling, Bobby Don Harris, James Sterling Denton, Philip Hartley Garman, Jeffrey James Culhane, Jonelle Matilda Juricek

Patent number: 10997878Abstract: A tile holder that can be attached to or integrated with a storage device. The tile holder may hold, for example, alphabet tiles. The tile holder may be used in settings where labelling is required. The tile holder may be constructed from a rigid material, such as wood, metal or a semi-flexible or flexible material, such as rubber or plastic. The tile holder may be a face plate that optionally couples to a space block. The tile holder may comprise an internal channel having at least one modified or beveled edge or surface.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2020Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Inventor: Jeffrey James Culhane
