Abstract: Systems and methods for manufacturing elongate medical devices including internal components embedded between multiple jacket layers. The system including a heating cartridge, a heating element, a filament handling system, a substrate handling system, and a controller to feed and melt each of the filaments for forming the multiple jacket layers. The system may include a single heating cartridge adapted to make multiple passes to form a first and second jacket or multiple heating cartridges that sequentially form a first and second jacket.

Abstract: Systems and methods for manufacturing an elongate medical device including various surface features. The system including a heating cartridge, a heating element, a filament handling system, a substrate handling system, a controller, and one or more additional components adapted to form the surface features on the medical device. The heating element melts a filament material within the heating cartridge to form a jacket of the medical device and the one or more additional components engages the outer surface of the jacket to create surface features.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a catheter design tool and methods thereof for selecting or designing an optimal catheter profile for a particular patient or group of patients. For example, the tool includes a data set (e.g., input into the system) pertaining to a plurality of anatomy parameters and a plurality of catheter parameters to determine one or more catheter profiles that allow the best implant efficacy for a particular patient or group of patients. Specifically, the tool evaluates the efficacy of a particular catheter profile for use with a particular patient, the most optimal catheter profile from a plurality of catheter profiles for use with a particular patient, and/or the most optimal catheter profile from a plurality of catheter profiles for use with a group of patients.

Abstract: An example catheter includes a handle assembly having a control member, an elongate body, a pull wire, and at least one radiopaque marker. The elongate body defines a lumen configured to receive a medical electrical lead including at least one electrode array. The elongate body includes a proximal portion coupled to the handle assembly and a distal portion that includes an articulating segment and a preformed curve segment. The at least one radiopaque marker is positioned on the distal portion. The pull wire extends from the control member and is anchored to the elongate body distal to the articulating segment such that actuation of the control member controllably bends the articulating segment in a first curve in a first geometric plane. The preformed curve segment defines a second curve in a second geometric plane different from the first geometric plane.

Abstract: A device for axial and rotational locking of a dual catheter system and methods of the same. The system includes an outer catheter and an inner catheter adapted to be inserted into the outer catheter. The outer catheter extends along a catheter axis and includes an outer catheter shaft and an outer catheter hub. The inner catheter includes an inner catheter shaft and an inner catheter hub. The system also includes an intermediate hub located between the inner and outer catheters. The intermediate hub includes a deformable component positioned around at least a portion of the inner catheter. The deformable component is adapted to be inserted into the outer catheter hub such that the inner catheter is restricted, rotationally about and axially along the catheter axis, relative to the outer catheter.

Abstract: Implantable apparatus includes two or more alignable marker elements, and systems and methods for manufacturing such implantable apparatus, and methods to utilize such implantable apparatus. For example, the implantable apparatus may include a first alignable marker element and a second alignable marker element that may be used to ensure proper alignment with a target site.
