Publication number: 20240102560Abstract: A valve may have a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The valve may include a valve stem having a lumen extending from a first opening at a proximal portion of the valve stem to a second opening at a distal end of the valve stem. A plurality of seals may be positioned relative to the valve stem. The valve stem and seals may be configured so that a fluid entering the inlet is prevented from flowing to the outlet in a first position of the valve stem and relative to the inlet and the outlet. The valve stem and the seals may be configured so that a fluid entering the inlet flows to the outlet in a second position of the valve stem relative to the inlet and the outlet, the second position being more distal than the first position relative to the inlet and the outlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Larry STANTON, Allyn JENSRUD, James SCUTTI, Colby HARRIS, Robb GAVALIS

Patent number: 11324930Abstract: According to one aspect, a guidewire assembly for positioning within a body of a patient may include a guidewire shaft having a proximal section and a distal section. The distal section may be configured to move within the body of a patient when the guidewire assembly is in a first operating state. The distal section may be configured to expand radially outward when the guidewire assembly is in a second operating state to engage an interior surface of the body and inhibit movement of the guidewire shaft.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2019Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Peter Dayton, Kevin James McElwee, Paul Smith, Dane Seddon, James Scutti

Patent number: 8795329Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for occluding or closing a patent foramen ovale of a patient (PFO). The invention includes a catheter carrying an energy delivery element. The catheter introduces the energy delivery element into the patent foramen ovale of a patient's heart. Once appropriately positioned, the energy delivery element applies energy, such as radiofrequency energy, to the tissues surrounding the patent foramen ovale. The application of energy causes the tissues to join together, occluding the patent foramen ovale. The energy delivery element may be removable or permanently implanted in the patent foramen ovale.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2010Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc.Inventors: Sean Forde, James Scutti, David J. Callaghan, Erik Glaser, Carol A. Devellian, Steve W Opolski
