Patent number: 10850064Abstract: An introducer sheath (300) includes a body (305) extending between a leading end (304) and a trailing end (302) and including a plurality of rectangular segments (310) extending from the leading end to the trailing end. The segments are joined to one another along longitudinal edges to form a tubular structure with a lumen (308) therethrough, the segments being joined at vertices (314). The body has a collapsed condition with a first cross-section and is configured to transition from the collapsed condition to an expanded condition with a second cross-section when an apparatus is passed through the lumen, the second cross-section having a maximum dimension larger than a maximum dimension of the first cross-section.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2016Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: Steven N. Willard, John Jason Buysman, Brett A. Hillukka

Patent number: 10034705Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to electrode assemblies, and specifically to struts comprising electrode assemblies and electrodes contained on the struts. The electrode assembly struts are constructed to have a low profile and to have superior strength over the length of the strut such that an electrode assembly including the strut is highly resistant to radial compression. The electrodes included on the low profile, high strength strut also is designed to have a reduced profile such that electrode assemblies including the strut and electrode can easily be used with 6 French and smaller guide catheter assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2014Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: John Jason Buysman, Ryan Kenneth Buesseler, Qingshan Ye, Victor Yevgenyevich Kotov, Gregory James Dakin, Russ Terwey, Janson Lee Ayer
