Publication number: 20240041305Abstract: Several embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to medical visualization systems that comprise combinations of disposable and reusable components, such as catheters, functional handles, hubs, optical devices, etc. Other embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to features and aspects of an in-vivo visualization system that comprises an endoscope having a working channel through which a catheter having viewing capabilities is routed. the catheter may obtain viewing capabilities by being constructed as a vision catheter or by having a fiberscope or other viewing device selectively routed through one of its channels. The catheter is preferably of the steerable type so that the distal end of the catheter may be steered from its proximal end as it is advanced with the body. A suitable use for the in-vivo visualization system includes but is not limited to diagnosis and/or treatment of the duodenum, and particularly the biliary tree.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: John O. McWEENEY, Michael S. H. CHU, Jozef SLANDA, Benjamin E. MORRIS, David W. ROBERTSON, David I. FREED, James F. SCHUERMANN, John B. GOLDEN, Brian Keith WELLS, Jesse Leonard FARRIS, III, Oscar R.

Patent number: 10722252Abstract: Catheter devices, assemblies and related methods for percutaneous crossing of an occlusion in a blood vessel are disclosed. A catheter device can include a central catheter, two side tubes, and a distally-protruding, curved subintimal guidewire. The central catheter can define a central lumen that extends from a proximal end to a distal end of the central catheter. The lumen can be configured to receive a primary guidewire. The central catheter can also define at least one reentry aperture oriented transverse to the central lumen. The first and second side tubes can be coupled with the central catheter, extending along a longitudinal axis thereof, with the first side tube flanking an opposite side of the central catheter relative to the second side tube. The subintimal guidewire can extend from the first side tube, distally beyond the distal end of the central catheter, to the second side tube.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2018Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Teleflex Life Sciences LimitedInventors: Joshua Brenizer, Jesse Leonard Farris, III, Thomas Kouchoukos, Mark Wendle, Brandon VanHee, Dean Peterson, Steve Michael, Alexander Marine, Lyndon Carlson
