  • Publication number: 20240237997
    Abstract: The present technology relates to systems and methods for delivering a dilator sheath to a target location within a patient. The dilator sheath can include a guidewire lumen configured to receive a guidewire. Embodiments are provided in which an interference fit between the guidewire and the guidewire lumen facilitate steering of the dilator sheath in at least one direction. Methods of delivering the dilator sheath are provided. Methods of delivering a medical device with the dilator sheath are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240238002
    Abstract: The present technology relates to systems and methods for removing a thrombus from a blood vessel of a patient. In some embodiments, the present technology is directed to systems including an elongated catheter having a distal portion configured to be positioned within the blood vessel of the patient, a proximal portion configured to be external to the patient, and a lumen extending therebetween. The system can also include a fluid delivery mechanism coupled with a fluid lumen and configured to apply fluid to at least partially fragment the thrombus, and an aspiration mechanism fluidly coupled to an aspiration lumen and configured to aspirate the fragmented thrombus.

  • Publication number: 20150218328
    Abstract: The use of a certain copolymer is described for reducing the gas-permeability of rubber material. A rubber material provided with a barrier material in the form of the copolymer is also described. The copolymer can be produced via ring-opening metathesis polymerization of a) one first olefin monomer selected from the group consisting of cyclic olefin monomers having at least one endocyclic C—C double bond, where no tertiary carbon atom bearing a hydrogen atom is present in alpha-position to the double bond, and b) one second olefin monomer selected from the group consisting of cyclic olefin monomers having one endocyclic C—C double bond, where a tertiary carbon atom bearing a hydrogen atom is present in at least one alpha-position to the double bond, where the copolymer has been oxidized at least to some extent, where the amount of polycyclic olefin monomers used to produce the copolymer with at least two C—C double bonds is zero or less than 1 mol %, based on the entirety of the monomers.

  • Patent number: 8790753
    Abstract: A rubber material is described, modified with a barrier material in the form of a copolymer which can be produced via ring-opening metathesis polymerization of a) at least one olefin monomer selected from the group consisting of monocyclic olefin monomers having one or two endocyclic C—C double bonds and bicyclic olefin monomers having one endocyclic C—C double bond and b) at least one polycyclic olefin monomer having at least two C—C double bonds. The barrier material can be used to reduce the gas permeability of the rubber material.

  • Publication number: 20120149840
    Abstract: Polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturdated monomer in an aqueous medium can produce an aqueous polymer dispersion. The polymerization is in the presence of a dispersant and a metal-carbene complex. The polymerization can also optionally be in the presence of a dispersant, an organic solvent with low solubility in water, or both. The aqueous polymer dispersion resulting from the process can be used to make a polymer powder.

  • Publication number: 20120058332
    Abstract: A barrier coating is described, where a polymer layer of thickness at least 1 ?m is applied on a supportive substrate, selected from polymer foils, paper, and paperboard, and the polymer layer has been formed from a copolymer which can be produced via ring-opening metathesis polymerization of (a) olefin monomers, selected from monocyclic olefin monomers having 1 or 2 endocyclic C—C double bonds and bicyclic olefin monomers having an endocyclic C—C double bond, and (b) polycyclic olefin monomers having at least two C—C double bonds, e.g. a copolymer of cyclooctene and dicyclopentadiene.
