Patent number: 7766216Abstract: Braze and electrode wire assemblies, e.g., used with an implantable microstimulator, include a wire welded in the through-hole of an electrode, which electrode is brazed to a ceramic case that is brazed to a metal ring that is welded to a metal can. The braze joints are step or similar joints that self-center the case, provide lateral support during braze assembly, and provide increased surface area that prevents braze material from exuding from the joints. The end of the ceramic case that is brazed to the metal ring need not be specially machined. The shell has a reference electrode on one end and an active electrode on the other, and is externally coated on selected areas with conductive and non-conductive materials.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2006Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Boston Scientific Neuromodulation CorporationInventor: Jay Daulton

Publication number: 20070276461Abstract: Delivery catheters and systems are adapted for delivering multiple discreet prostheses in body lumens. An exemplary delivery catheter comprises a sheath, a pusher for moving the prostheses relative to the sheath, and a valve member for selectively retaining the prostheses in the sheath. For balloon expandable stents, an elongated shaft and an expandable member are slidably disposed in the sheath, and the prostheses are positionable on the expandable member for deployment in the body lumen. The valve member allows a selected number of prostheses to be deployed from the sheath while retaining other prostheses within the sheath.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2007Publication date: November 29, 2007Applicant: Xtent, Inc.Inventors: Bernard ANDREAS, Matthew McDONALD, Jay DAULTON, Andrew Leopold, Philip Leopold, Matt Maulding, Andrew Black

Publication number: 20070265637Abstract: Apparatus and methods for delivering stents or stent segments to body lumens include one or more tubular prostheses carried at the distal end of a catheter shaft, a sheath slidably disposed over the prostheses, and a guidewire tube extending from within the sheath to the exterior of the sheath through an exit port in a sidewall thereof. A guidewire extends slidably through the guidewire tube. The sheath can be moved relative to the catheter shaft and the guidewire tube to expose the prostheses for deployment. Mechanisms are described for measuring the distance that the sheath is moved relative to the catheter shaft and/or the guidewire tube, or for counting the number of stents exposed and/or deployed by operation of the device. These mechanisms include optical counting mechanisms, inductive, resistive, and/or magnetic resonating counters, electrical contact counters, and mechanical counters.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2007Publication date: November 15, 2007Applicant: Xtent, Inc.Inventors: Bernard Andreas, Matthew McDonald, Jay Daulton, Chris Kilgus, Andrew Leopold, Philip Leopold, Matt Maulding
