Publication number: 20140318355Abstract: Mechanisms and methods for forming a tubular braid are described. The mechanism for braiding includes a disc, a mandrel, a plurality of catch mechanisms, a plurality of actuators, and a computer program. The disc defines a plane and a circumferential edge. The mandrel extends from a center of the disc and is adapted to hold a plurality of filaments extending radially from the mandrel toward the circumferential edge of the disc. The plurality of catch mechanisms are positioned circumferentially around the edge of the disc and are adapted to engage a filament. The plurality of actuators are configured to move relative to one another and are adapted to move the plurality of catch mechanisms in a substantially radial direction relative to the circumferential edge of the disc.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2014Publication date: October 30, 2014Applicant: SEQUENT MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: PHILIPPE MARCHAND, John Nolting, Darrin J.

Publication number: 20140318354Abstract: A braiding machine and methods of braiding are described. The braiding machine includes first and second annular members having inclined surfaces, the second annular member being concentric with the first annular member. The inclined surfaces are inclined at a non-zero angle formed between an axis of the outer ring and a horizontal axis that lies perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the mandrel. Each of the annular members has a plurality of tubular guide wires slideably mounted thereon and a plurality of wires extend from the mandrel through each of the tubular wire guides. One of the first and second annular members rotates circumferentially relative to the other. The first plurality of tubular wire guides slides radially inward so as to align with the second annular member, and the second plurality of tubular wire guides slides radially outward so as to align with the first annular member.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2014Publication date: October 30, 2014Applicant: SEQUENT MEDICAL INC.Inventors: JAMES M THOMPSON, BRIAN J COX, ROBERT ROSENBLUTH, PHILIPPE MARCHAND, JOHN NOLTING, DARRIN J KENT, TAN Q DINH, HUNG P TRAN, JAMES A MILBURN

Patent number: 8833224Abstract: Devices and methods for forming a tubular braid comprising a plurality of filaments. The method for braiding includes the step of loading a plurality of filaments on a mandrel and extending the filaments radially from the mandrel, the plurality of filaments have a first subset and a second subset. Tension is applied to the plurality of filaments using a weight attached to each filament. The first subset of the plurality of filaments is engaged, moved circumferentially relative to the second subset, and then released. The second subset of filaments is then engaged and moved circumferentially relative to the first subset of filaments, such that a tubular braid of filaments is formed.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2013Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Sequent Medical, Inc.Inventors: James M Thompson, Brian J Cox, Robert Rosenbluth, Philippe Q Marchand, John Nolting, Darrin J Kent, Tan Q Dinh, Hung P Tran, James A Milburn
