Patent number: 10085441Abstract: A method of cannulating vasculature includes inserting the vasculature through a first clamping surface of a cannula and rotating a second clamping surface of the cannula around the first clamping surface to move from an open position towards a closed position. Additionally, the method includes securing the vasculature between the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2015Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: LIFELINE SCIENTIFIC, INC.Inventors: Christopher P. Steinman, Jason A. Belton, Kirk C. Palmerton, Karl H. Beitzel, Rick W. Walker, David Pettinato, Matthew Copithorne, Brian Otts, James V. Guarrera

Patent number: 9629359Abstract: A cannula has a longitudinal base member having a first clamping end and a longitudinal arm member pivotally attached to the longitudinal base member and having a second clamping end, the cannula being in a closed position when the first and second clamping ends are brought together. A first clamp member is located at the first clamping end and has a first passage. A second clamp member is rotatably attached to the arm member at the second clamping end and has a second passage. The first and second passages form a combined passage when the clamp is in the closed position. The cannula may have a first locking member positioned on the arm member and a second locking member positioned on the base member. The first and second locking members interact with each other to lock the cannula in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2014Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: LIFELINE SCIENTIFIC, INC.Inventors: Christopher P. Steinman, Jason A. Belton, Kirk C. Palmerton, Karl H. Beitzel, Rick W. Walker, Matthew Copithorne, Brian Otts, James V. Guarrera

Patent number: 9259562Abstract: A cannula includes a first clamping surface on a closing portion of the cannula, a second clamping surface on a base of a cannula, a connecting structure that connects the closing portion and the base. The connecting structure may allow the closing portion to be rotated around the second clamping surface. The cannula may include a repeatably removable handle.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2012Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: LIFELINE SCIENTIFIC, INC.Inventors: Christopher P. Steinman, Jason A.
