Publication number: 20230390528Abstract: A catheter stabilization and interrogation device includes a flexible substrate with a proximal portion, a distal portion spaced from the proximal portion, and an intermediate portion located, at least partially, between the proximal portion and the distal portion. The intermediate portion conforms to a patients body, and a bottom surface of the substrate has an adhesive to secure the device to a patient. A stabilizer secured to the proximal portion stabilizes the catheter relative to the patients vasculature and a receptacle located within and/or upon the distal portion receives an interacting element and positions the interacting element relative to the catheter. A monitoring device, constructed within at least the intermediate portion, monitors at least one event within the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2020Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: NP Medical Inc.Inventors: Todd Chelak, John Damarati

Publication number: 20220257919Abstract: A valving device includes a body with an inlet, an outlet and an internal fluid path extending from the inlet to the outlet. Within the internal fluid path, the valving device has a valve mechanism with an open mode that allows fluid flow through the valve mechanism between the inlet and outlet and closed mode that prevents fluid flow through the valve mechanism. The valve mechanism has a first surface facing the inlet and a second surface facing the outlet. The body at least partially defines a flow corral. The flow corral(s) is/are located distal to the valve mechanism and redirect fluid passing through the valving device back toward the second surface of the valve mechanism to flush the underside of the valve mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2019Publication date: August 18, 2022Applicant: NP Medical Inc.Inventor: John Damarati

Publication number: 20210196940Abstract: A method fluidly connects a male luer connector and a female luer connector. To that end, a housing having a first end and a second end is provided. The housing has a first opening nearer to the first end that is configured to receive the male luer connector. The housing also includes a second opening nearer to the second end that is configured to receive the female luer connector. The male luer connector is positioned into the first opening in a direction that is along a central axis of the housing. The female luer connector is positioned into the second opening in a direction that is transverse to a central axis of the housing. The method then advances the male luer connector into the opening of the female luer connector so as to form a fluid connection therebetween.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2019Publication date: July 1, 2021Inventor: John Damarati

Patent number: 10925761Abstract: A stent loading and deployment device includes an outer elongate tubular member having opposed proximal and distal ends and an inner elongate tubular member having opposed proximal and distal ends and slidably disposed within the outer tubular member. When the distal ends of the outer tubular member and the inner tubular member are axially aligned, a stent deployment region is defined there in between. The device further includes a stent loading member having opposed proximal and distal ends and slidably disposed between the outer tubular member and the inner tubular member. The distal end of the stent loading member is slidable to a distal position past the distal end of the outer tubular member for receiving a stent and is further slidable toward the proximal end of the outer tubular member to a location past the stent deployment region for disengagement of a stent from the stent loading member.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: F.

Patent number: 9579524Abstract: A flexible, multi-lumen brachytherapy device includes a plurality of loose lumens extend through a hub towards a single point of attachment at a distal rigid section. Because the lumens are attached at only a single distal location, the lumens are free to move axially and rotatably, thereby increasing the overall flexibility of the device to thereby decrease intermittent device movement while increasing patient comfort. A novel keyed stylet can be selectively inserted to increase the rigidity of the device as needed. The ability to dynamically modify the rigidity of the brachytherapy device provides a comprehensive brachytherapy solution that satisfies concerns of the patient, the surgeon and the radiologists.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2009Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Hologic, Inc.Inventor: John Damarati

Patent number: 9265634Abstract: A braided stent having an integral retrieval and/or repositioning loop includes a plurality of wires having first and second ends interbraided in a braided pattern to form a tubular stent having opposed atraumatic first and second open ends with each open end having a circumference. The first and second wires ends are disposed at the second stent open end and the wires are looped at the second stent open end so that none of the first or second wires ends are exposed at the circumference of second stent open end. The at least of two of said wires are formed into a repositioning and/or retrieval loop having an elongated portion circumferentially disposed at the first opposed open end. The reposition and/or retrieval loop also includes two sections which run adjacent to each other prior to crossing to permit grabbing of both sections simultaneously by a practitioner.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2006Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Peter Brady, Richard Crawford, Kathryn Portale, Paul Norton, John Damarati, Tim Lysaght
