Patent number: 11583311Abstract: The use of stepped cannulas, wherein a step structure creates a backstop to reduce backflow along the cannula body, is known for convection enhanced delivery of agents to the brain and other structures within an animal. Described herein are novel and improved stepped cannula designs wherein the length of the cannula segment between the step and the dispensing outlet is variable and can be controllably adjusted inside the patient during delivery. This advantageously allows the operator to place the cannula step at the optimal position and deliver agents at one or more positions within the target structure.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2020Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAInventor: Krystof Bankiewicz

Patent number: 9576108Abstract: A method for planning an infusion of a medical substance into a target region acquires non-patient-specific anatomical data from an atlas in the form of target region geometry information describing target and off-target regions for which an infusion of the medical substance is intended and regions to be avoided, respectively. Target coverage information is derived describing a minimum dose of the medical substance to be infused into the target region and describing a maximum dose of the medical substance to be applied to the off-target region. Relationship information describes a relationship between a physical parameter of an infusion setup and a selected spatial distribution of the medical substance. Infusion setup information for the infusion is determined that describes a planned infusion setup and is based on the relationship information and information related to the target and off-target regions.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2012Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Brainlab AGInventors: Kathryn H. Rosenbluth, Jan Felix Eschermann, Joseph Doyle, Krystof Bankiewicz, Stephan Mittermeyer
