  • Patent number: 11969333
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the intravascular treatment of clot material within a blood vessel of a human patient are disclosed herein. A method in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, positioning a distal portion of a catheter proximate to the clot material within the blood vessel. The method can further include coupling a pressure source to the catheter via a tubing subsystem including a valve or other fluid control device and, while the valve is closed, activating the pressure source to charge a vacuum. The valve can then be opened to apply the vacuum to the catheter to thereby aspirate at least a portion of the clot material from the blood vessel and into the catheter.

  • Patent number: 11960507
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for identifying ancestor objects in hierarchical data configured for processing with a query, the query having an associated abstract syntax tree. The abstract syntax tree may be processed so as to generate an augmented abstract syntax tree which includes parent identifiers configured to identify the parent nodes of the query. In this way, a need to pre-parse the data may be alleviated. Instead, the identification of a parent node of a query may be encoded into the abstract syntax tree of the query.

  • Patent number: 11950789
    Abstract: A cleaning module for cleaning bone stock used in surgical procedures. The cleaning module includes a shell. The shell defines a void space to receive the bone stock. A cutter is rotating mounted in the void space. A shaving tube, also able to rotate, is coaxially disposed about the cutter. The cutter and shaving tube have complementary edges. A drive assembly rotates the cutter and shaving tube at different speeds, at different times or in different directions relative to the cutter. As a result of the rotation of the cutter and shaving tube soft tissue adhering to the bone stock is cut away from the bone stock by the relative rotating of the cutting edges of the cutter and shaving tube.

  • Publication number: 20240082540
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are catheters having multiple coil layers, and associated systems and methods. In some embodiments, a catheter includes an inner liner, a plurality of wires over the inner liner, and an outer sheath over the wires. The wires are coiled about a longitudinal axis of the catheter in a first direction to form a first coil layer over the inner liner, and the wires are coiled about the longitudinal axis in a second direction, opposite the first direction, over the first coil layer to form a second coil layer over the first coil layer. The wires each include a continuous/self-terminating end portion wherein the wire switches from the first direction to the second direction and transitions from the inner coil layer to the outer coil layer.

  • Publication number: 20240074771
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the intravascular treatment of clot material within a blood vessel of a human patient are disclosed herein. A method in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, engaging an interventional device of a catheter system with clot material in a blood vessel and withdrawing the interventional device and the portion of the clot material through a guide catheter. In some embodiments, the catheter system can include an attachment/valve member coupled to a proximal portion of the guide catheter, and the method can include unsealing the attachment/valve member to facilitate withdrawing the interventional device through the attachment/valve member without significant retention of clot material within the attachment/valve member. The method can further include resealing and aspirating the guide catheter before advancing another interventional device to the clot material to again engage and remove clot material from the blood vessel.

  • Publication number: 20230409399
    Abstract: A uniform resource identifier (URI) shortening service, such as a URL shortening service, creates the shortened URI along with “synopsis” data relating to the human understandable content of the resource, such as the text and images in a typical web site. Later, when users use the shortened URI to retrieve the resource, if the synopsis data for the resource has changed too much relative to the synopsis data as created at the earlier time of the URI shortening, then the requesting users are given some type of notification or warning that the content of the resource has changed. This can save the end users from wasting time retrieving and reviewing a resource that is no longer of interest due to the changes in the content.

  • Publication number: 20230310751
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are clot treatment systems with filtering syringes, and associated devices and methods. The filtering syringe can be coupled to a catheter subsystem insertable within a patient. The filtering syringe can aspirate material (e.g., clot material, blood, etc.) from a patient via the catheter subsystem. The filtering syringe can include a plunger assembly, and the plunger assembly can include one or more filters. Each of the filters can be configured to (i) allow at least a first portion of aspirated material (e.g., blood) to pass through at least one of the filters, and (ii) prevent at least a second portion of the aspirated material (e.g., clot material) from passing through at least one of the filters. In some embodiments, the filtering syringe is fluidly coupled to a filtered material subsystem that can fluidly couple the filtering syringe to the patient or another suitable fluid outflow location.

  • Publication number: 20230312321
    Abstract: A container filling valve may include a shuttle and a drive sleeve that are magnetically coupled. Movement of the drive sleeve may move the shuttle from a position in which the filling valve is closed to a position in which the filling valve is open. A container handling arm may include a distal end configured to hold a container and a proximal end that includes a load cell. A low flow setpoint system may be configured to arrest closing of a filling valve when that filling valve is partially closed. A pressure control system may be configured to maintain a desired pressure in a reservoir or in a flow path from that reservoir. A product recirculation system may be configured to adjust flow rate in the product recirculation system.

  • Publication number: 20230241302
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are aspiration catheters having grooved inner surfaces for removing clot material from the vasculature of a patient, and associated systems and methods. In some embodiments, an aspiration catheter can include a proximal terminus, a distal terminus, and an inner surface defining a lumen. The inner surface includes at least one groove formed therein and that extends from the distal terminus at least partially toward the proximal terminus. When clot material is aspirated through the aspiration catheter, the at least one groove can provide a leak path past the clot material to improve the ingestion of the clot material through the catheter and inhibit clogging.
