Patent number: 10888331Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of embolic coils. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for actively releasing an embolic coil from a delivery device into a body lumen of a patient. Delivery systems of the present disclosure may allow an embolic coil to be advanced external to the distal end of a delivery catheter without being automatically released, thereby allowing the embolic coil to be repositioned prior to deployment.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2016Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Gary Pederson, Katherine Routh, Ken Zhang, Jeffry Johnson, Devon Arnholt, Joel Eggert, James Rohl, Douglas Pagoria, John-Allen O'Brien, Frank Ryan, Conor O'Sullivan

Patent number: 10314571Abstract: Systems for tissue repair are described where an elongate tissue repair device may be introduced into a single incision to access the damaged tissue. A suture delivery assembly may be sized for insertion through a single incision and positioned into proximity with a damaged or ruptured tissue region. A first portion of the damaged tissue region may be positioned within or along a channel defined along the suture delivery assembly and one or more lengths of suture may be secured to the first portion via the device. A second portion of the damaged tissue region may be similarly positioned within or along the channel and one or more additional lengths of suture may be secured to the second portion via the device. The first and second portions may then be approximated and secured to one another via the sutures to facilitate healing of the damaged tissue region.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2016Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Howmedica Osteonics Corp.Inventors: James Rohl, Shannon M. Rush, Sheriese Rush, Michel Yoon, James McCrea, Shuo-Hsiu Chang

Patent number: 9668746Abstract: Adjustable allograft templates and methods of use are disclosed where a template for resecting a tissue region may generally comprise a template frame having a surface for contacting the tissue region and which defines an open area of tissue to be resected. A frame assembly along the template frame may be translatable relative to the template to adjust a size of the open area of tissue to be resected. One or more inner guidance slots may be defined along the frame such that the inner guidance slots are spaced relative to one another to define the tissue within the open area to be resected from a patient. Additionally, one or more outer guidance slots may also be defined along the frame and aligned adjacent to the inner guidance slots. The outer guidance slots may be spaced relative to one another to define the tissue to be resected from a donor.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2013Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Allotemplate, LLCInventors: Michael S.

Patent number: 8033202Abstract: A punch and die apparatus and a method and apparatus for punching a capacitor electrode layer. A method includes placing a capacitor material sheet between a punch and a die, the punch guided by a punch guide, there being no stripper plate between the punch guide and the die, and actuating the punch to punch an electrode layer out of the sheet. An apparatus includes a die having a die hole, a punch guide, and a punch located within the punch guide. The punch guide and the die have a fixed distance therebetween such that there is no compression on a work piece placed between the die and the punch before the punch contacts the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2003Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: James Rohl, Michael Rebrovich, Gregory J.

Publication number: 20070225771Abstract: A feedthrough assembly is disposable in an aperture of, for example, a power source encasement. In various examples, the feedthrough assembly comprises a ferrule, an insulator, a terminal conductor, and a sleeve. A portion of the terminal conductor extends through the ferrule thereby creating a portion internal to and a portion external to the encasement. The insulator is disposed within the ferrule and is sealably engaged with the terminal conductor portion extending through the ferrule. The sleeve is disposed over the internal portion of the terminal conductor and coupled thereto. In one example, the sleeve includes at least one notch on a sleeve first end or a sleeve second end, which may be used to weld or solder the sleeve to the terminal conductor. In another example, the sleeve includes a longitudinally extending void, which may be used to crimp the sleeve to the terminal conductor.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2006Publication date: September 27, 2007Inventors: Thomas Wegrzyn, Edward Maierhofer, James Rohl, Stephen VanDerlick, Benjamin Haasl
