Mark J. Paulsen 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).

  • Medical electrical lead and reinforced silicone elastomer compositions used therein
    Patent number: 6040369
    Abstract: A medical electrical lead and a reinforced silicone elastomer used therein. The silicone elastomer used therein is preferably made from a novel silica reinforced polysiloxane material, which after vulcanization by cross-linking exhibits improved mechanical properties. The medical electrical lead features a an electrode at a distal end thereof, a connector at a proximal end thereof and an elongated electrical conductor extending between the electrode and the connector, the conductor in electrical contact with the electrode at a distal end and in electrical contact with the connector at a proximal end, the conductor comprised of a plurality of wires or wire bundles wound in a multifilar coil configuration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 2, 1999
    Date of Patent: March 21, 2000
    Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.
    Inventors: Mark J. Paulsen, Jennifer P. Miller, Michael J. Ebert
