  • Percutaneous Nephrostomy System
    Publication number: 20210085917
    Abstract: A percutaneous nephrostomy catheter system includes a nephrostomy catheter lumen, an extension tubing and a collection bag. The extension tubing is inserted into the nephrostomy catheter lumen. The collection bag is fluidly coupled to the extension tubing. A percutaneous nephrostomy catheter system also includes a catheter hub which employs a Luer valve in order to facilitate nephrostomy care so that when the percutaneous nephrostomy system is in place urine flows from the renal pelvis into the nephrostomy catheter lumen, the extension tubing and the collection bag. The Luer valve employs a scalloped Luer-style male connector which, when screwed into the catheter hub allows flow.

  • Tissue anchors, systems and methods, and devices
    Patent number: 9358111
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for securing tissue including the annulus of a mitral valve. The systems, devices and methods may employ catheter based techniques and devices to plicate tissue and perform an annuloplasty. One of the methods includes positioning at least two discrete, flat first anchor elements along a first side of a tissue of the mitral valve annulus in stacked relationship and at least two other discrete, flat first anchor elements along the second side of the tissue of the mitral valve annulus in stacked relationship.

  • Intra-aortic renal delivery catheter
    Patent number: 7563247
    Abstract: A renal flow system and method direct fluid into renal arteries from a location within the aorta. A renal flow assembly has a tapered tube that is adjustable between a radially collapsed condition for delivery to the location through a delivery sheath and a radially expanded condition that divides aortic flow into exterior and interior paths. The tube's wall is made from a sheet of flexible material, such as PTFE or ePTFE. Two, nickel-titanium rings radially support the tube's ends and are connected by a longitudinal spine support. A fluid delivery assembly injects drug to flow along the exterior flow path and the tubular wall directs the agent into the renal artery ostium. The tube's taper has localized shape for circumferential agent mixing to infuse both kidneys' renals. The flow assembly allows an interventional device, e.g. delivery catheter, to advance across the location while directing blood into the renals and perfusing downstream circulation.
