Abstract: Disclosed are manual thrombectomy devices having a plurality of elastic wires to form one or more cages and/or soft brushes connected to a lumen shaft along a longitudinal direction to easily detach thrombi from a vessel wall by manually rotating the lumen shaft right and left. And without any extra inflow tube, the manual thrombectomy device has an aspiration lumen and an inflow lumen in one body of the lumen shaft not only for preventing occurrence of a vacuum or a low pressure state in the blood vessel due to the thrombi aspiration during operation, but also for cleaning the vessel wall through outflow holes and for excreting the thrombi through aspiration holes.

Abstract: A general-purpose stone extractor is provided for removing gallstones, calculi or foreign bodies from the biliary tree, urinary tract, blood vessels and the like. The stone extractor is configured to enable catcher wires to be extracted and retracted from an outer sheath near to a stone by operating a push handle member, an elastic spring being installed between a proximal end of the outer sheath and the push handle member.

Abstract: A medical instrument for dislodging, capturing, and retrieving a foreign body from a wall of a vessel includes a vascular snare having a plurality of loops extending from a snare shaft and a grapple member.

Abstract: An apparatus for the removal of build-up about an implanted catheter having an interior surface, an exterior surface and an open free end positioned within an individual's vascular system. The apparatus includes a delivery assembly storing a stripping coil. The delivery assembly includes a guide structure for guiding the stripping coil through the catheter to the free end of the catheter. The stripping coil is formed of a shape memory or super-elastic material, wherein the stripping coil is preformed to assume a shape wrapping about the outer surface of the catheter in a manner providing for the stripping of build-up from the outer surface of the catheter when the stripping coil is moved relative to the catheter.

Abstract: A system and method for the simulation of discrete events. Events can be defined or mapped from Boolean logic, finite equations, lookup tables, emulation of processors, or may be algebraic in nature. An event-based simulation scheme with single-memory word representation of event models and timing is described. Event models are instantiated in parallel simulator engines (logic, behavioral, soft-emulation, memory, processor, interconnection, and/or any combination of these). A central scheduler minimizes computation time traditionally spent on sorting chronology and sequence of events as the events propagate through models and interconnections or links, with the scheduler interfaced to each engine via dedicated pipelined communications channels. The scheduler simultaneously serves pending events to simulation engines for evaluation and retrieves future events from these engines for sorting and resubmitting for further simulation.
