Patent number: 12262881Abstract: A medical device that includes a sheath, a tool within the sheath and movable relative to the sheath, and a handle including a rotation assembly configured to rotate the tool relative to the sheath in response to rotation of the rotation assembly relative to a portion of the handle. The rotation assembly rotates the tool relative to the sheath at predefined angular intervals and inhibits movement at each of the predefined angular intervals.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2023Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Katrina Hansen, Robb M.

Publication number: 20250040981Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to the field of medical devices. In particular, the present disclosure relates to an electrosurgical surgical tip that includes a conductive and low-profile cutting surface to provide high current density radiofrequency energy with minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissues. For example, an electrosurgical tip of the present disclosure may include a ring of conductive material sputter-coated around a distal opening of a non-conductive base component and a strip of conductive material sputter-coated along a longitudinal axis of the non-conductive base component.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2024Publication date: February 6, 2025Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Mayo, Matthew P. Jones, Raymond Gessler, Asha D'Cunha, Serena Scott, Katrina Hansen, Jeffery T. Lersch

Publication number: 20240216058Abstract: A medical device that includes a handle, a sheath extending from the handle, and a tool within the sheath and movable relative to the sheath. The handle includes an inner body and an outer body disposed over the inner body. The outer body is movable relative to the inner body. The handle includes a first actuator secured to the tool. The first actuator has an actuated state permitting movement of the tool relative to the sheath in response to moving the outer body relative to the inner body. The handle includes a second actuator secured to the sheath. The second actuator has an actuated state permitting movement of the sheath relative to the tool in response to moving the second actuator relative to the outer body. An unactuated state of the first actuator and an unactuated state of the second actuator prevents movement of the tool relative to the sheath.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2024Publication date: July 4, 2024Applicant: Boston Scientific Medical Device LimitedInventors: Katrina HANSEN, John B. GOLDEN, Bernadette DURR, Gregory HUGHES, David CALLAGHAN, Balaji Aswatha NARAYANA, Subodh MOREY, Junaid SHAIKH

Publication number: 20210186607Abstract: A device a catheter includes a lumen extending therethrough, the catheter being sized and shaped to extend through an endoscopic shaft to a target tissue within a living body. The device also includes a puncturing device sized and shaped to extend through the lumen of the catheter and distally out a distal end of the catheter. The device further includes at least one of the catheter and the puncturing device including an electrode formed thereon. The electrode is energizable from a handle of the device so that, when the puncturing device is extended distally out the distal end of the catheter. The electrode may be energized as the device punctures the target tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2020Publication date: June 24, 2021Inventors: Serena SCOTT, Christopher A.

Publication number: 20210128873Abstract: A device may include a catheter and a support tube. The catheter includes a lumen extending therethrough. The catheter is sized and shaped to extend through an endoscopic shaft to a target tissue within a living body. The lumen is sized and shaped for receiving a puncturing device therethrough. The catheter includes a first catheter portion distal to a second catheter portion. The first and second catheter portions are formed from different materials. The first catheter portion has a flexible curved distal end. The tube is fixed about an outer surface of a proximal end of the first catheter portion and an outer surface of a distal end of the second catheter portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2020Publication date: May 6, 2021Inventors: Serena SCOTT, Katrina HANSEN, David Shlomo Rafael ELLIS-RECH, David CALLAGHAN, Anthony Frank TASSONI, JR., Gene Thomas STORBECK
