Patent number: 11554006Abstract: A removable blood clot filter includes a number of locator members and anchor members disposed radially and extending angularly downward from a hub. The locator members include a number of linear portions having distinct axes configured to place a tip portion approximately parallel to the walls of a blood vessel when implanted to apply sufficient force to the vessel walls to position the filter near the vessel centerline. The anchor members each include a hook configured to penetrate the vessel wall to prevent longitudinal movement due to blood flow. The hooks may have a cross section sized to allow for a larger radius of curvature under strain so that the filter can be removed without damaging the vessel wall.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: C. R. Bard Inc.Inventors: Robert M. Carr, Jr., Andrzej J. Chanduszko, John D. McDermott, John A. Kaufman

Patent number: 10449066Abstract: A stent including a plurality of curved sections and a connector. The curved sections surround a longitudinal axis to define a tube portion and are distributed along the longitudinal axis to form a helix. The connector includes a bioresorbable material and is positioned between two adjacent curved sections. The stent has a spring constant that changes to a different spring constant after exposure to biological material.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: C.R. Bard, Inc.Inventors: John D. McDermott, Khoi Q. Ta

Patent number: 10172702Abstract: A vascular graft with trim lines is described, the trim lines providing a guide for precision shaping of the cuff. The trim lines may be printed or otherwise disposed on a surface of the cuff or included on a template designed for disposition over the cuff. The trim lines may also be disposed on a side of a pocket into which the cuff is positioned for trimming. Also described is an apparatus and method for precise trimming of a vascular graft.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: C. R. Bard, Inc.Inventors: Hans Scholz, John D. McDermott, Robert M. Carr, Debra A. Bebb
