Publication number: 20240123123Abstract: A tubing component, and methods of forming, for a particulate material delivery assembly including a particulate delivery device to deliver a mixed particulate solution to a patient. The tubing component includes a material including a material density, and a determined thickness sufficient to shield a delivery line connector of a particulate delivery device from at least 90% of a radiation dose. The delivery line connector is configured to receive the mixed particulate solution from the particulate delivery device of the particulate material delivery assembly, and the determined thickness of the tubing component is calculated based on the material density to achieve shielding of the delivery line connector by the material of at least 90% of the radiation dose. The tubing component includes an integral wall of the delivery line connector, an outer sleeve configured to be removably disposed about the delivery line connector, or combinations thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2021Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: BARD PERIPHERAL VASCULAR, INC.Inventors: Brandon David Simmons, Christopher Dean Drobik, Amanda Kingman, Casey Tyler Hebert, Mark Nicholas Wright

Patent number: 11896258Abstract: An apparatus for cutting a wall of a vessel, such as scoring or slicing a lesion associated therewith. A catheter (10) includes a shaft (12) having a distal portion supporting a housing (20) including a first lateral passage (20a). A cutter (22) is adapted for moving from a retracted position within the housing (20) to a deployed position for at least partially projecting from the passage (20a). A expandable actuator (24) within the housing (20), such as an inflatable balloon (26), actuates the cutter (22) to move from the retracted position fully within the housing (20) to the deployed position at least partially projecting from the housing (20). More than one cutter (22?) may be provided, which cutters (22?) may be simultaneously actuated by the same actuator (26?).Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: C.R.

Publication number: 20230240739Abstract: A medical device for treating coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease or varicose veins includes an elongated support and a heat expandable element of muscle polymer carried on that elongated support. The medical device may also include a heating element. When activated, the heating element produces heat that causes the muscle polymer to expand into a position in closer proximity to the tissue to be treated.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2020Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Katherine Huffer, Brandon Simmons, Mark Nicholas Wright, Ronda Allard, Casey Hebert

Publication number: 20230201533Abstract: A device for introduction into a body vessel includes a shaft (105), a balloon (115) positioned at the distal end of the shaft (105), and at least one longitudinal scoring wire (135) to score a vascular lesion attached to the distal end of the shaft (105), disposed over the balloon (115). The shaft (105) includes a support (119), such as a wire or tube having one or more spirally cut portions (119A, 119B), which improves pushability and trackability, thereby allowing for use with an external guidewire in a “short rapid exchange” (SRX) format. The balloon (115) expands when fluid is delivered to the balloon (115) through the inflation lumen. This expansion pushes the scoring wire and guidewire against the vascular lesion.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2020Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Katherine Huffer, Mark Nicholas Wright
