Patents by Inventor Kimberly Ringenberger

Kimberly Ringenberger has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Delivery device with an expandable positioner for positioning a prosthesis
    Patent number: 10932932
    Abstract: A prosthesis delivery device having a cannula with an expandable positioning device disposed at the proximal end thereof is disclosed. A prosthesis is retained on the cannula distal of the expandable device. Expansion of the expandable device retains and centers the delivery device and the prosthesis carried thereon in the vessel and allows repositioning of the prosthesis without contacting the proximal end of the prosthesis with the vessel walls prior to deployment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 20, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 2, 2021

  • Stent graft with fenestration
    Patent number: 10213326
    Abstract: An endovascular prosthesis and method of constructing a prosthesis device for implantation into the lumen of a body vessel. The endovascular prosthesis includes a fenestration in the device surrounded by an inner edge, and the inner edge further surrounded by an outer edge of larger diameter. A shaped protrusion of semi-rigid graft material spans the distance between the inner edge and the outer edge connecting the two edges. The shape protrusion has a surface area larger than the plane of the tubular body between the edges and therefore will have excess material. This excess material allows the inner edge and the fenestration to move within the circumference of the outer edge. The shaped protrusion may also form a semi-rigid dome.
