  • Publication number: 20250017588
    Abstract: Medical systems for depositing fibrin on a medical device ex vivo are disclosed herein. According to some embodiments, the present technology includes a medical system comprising a vascular implant and a package defining a reservoir configured to receive the vascular implant and a volume of blood. The package can include an electrode disposed within the reservoir. The medical system can further include a current generator configured to be electrically coupled to the electrode. Activation of the current generator while the vascular implant and blood are present in the reservoir can cause current to flow through the blood and vascular implant, thereby applying an electrical charge to the vascular implant.

  • Patent number: 11883610
    Abstract: In some examples, a catheter includes an expandable member configured to expand radially outward from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration. The expandable member is configured to be expanded and contracted in a controlled manner, e.g., in response to user actuation or automatically under the control of control circuitry of a device. For example, in some examples, control circuitry of a device can be configured to control the expandable member to expand and contract according to a predetermined expansion frequency or according to an expansion frequency determined based on a cardiac cycle of a patient.
