Publication number: 20220331089Abstract: A stent graft including (1) a stent having a wall having at least one opening, an outer surface, and an inner surface and (2) a covering of a composite material having a least one expanded fluoropolymer membrane and an elastomer is provided. The cover can be used to cover the outer and/or the inner surface of the stent. The expanded fluoropolymer membrane contains serpentine fibrils. In exemplary embodiments, the fluoropolymer is polytetrafluoroethylene. The composite material may be axially and/or circumferentially wrapped around the stent. The composite material is fold-free throughout its operating diameter range and exhibits a sharp increase in stiffness at a predetermined diameter. The stent graft can be designed to have a stop point in either a radial or axial direction. The stent graft can advantageously be implanted undersized with respect to a nominal diameter without having material infolding.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Edward H. Cully, Jeffrey B. Duncan, Ryan D. Kariniemi, Thomas E. Kariniemi, Jeffrey J. Kustusch, Jared S. Nelson

Publication number: 20220290275Abstract: A wire of a nickel-titanium alloy having a permanent set of less than 5% when 11% strain is applied to the wire is disclosed. The wire may be formed by applying a first heat treatment to the wire, the first heat treatment includes applying heat of a first temperature for a first period of time, applying a strain deformation to the wire to set a shape for the wire during the first heat treatment, and applying a second heat treatment to the wire. The second heat treatment includes applying heat of a second temperature different from the first temperature for a second period of time, and the second temperature is between 210° C. and 290° C. The wire may have a modulus of at least 53 GPa when 200 MPa of stress is applied to the wire, and the wire is bonded to a secondary component.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2020Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Debra K. Born, Parikshith K. Kumar, Kehinde A. Majolagbe, Jared S. Nelson, James D. Silverman

Publication number: 20220280759Abstract: Described embodiments are directed to a device for delivery of activatable compounds to a patients lumen, such as in transcatheter procedures. More specifically, described embodiments are directed toward delivery devices operable to deliver the activatable compounds and to activate the compounds by light. Such delivery devices include a balloon (14) having a treatment zone (16) for activatable compound delivery and/or activation and non-treatment zones (18) that block activatable compound delivery and/or activation for controlled delivery and activation of the activatable compounds.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2020Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: Merrill J. Birdno, Michael R. Broyles, Jeffrey J. Honer, Christopher Hyzin, Brandon C. Short, Jared S. Nelson
