Marlene Kay Truesdale 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).

  • TUNED RF ENERGY AND ELECTRICAL TISSUE CHARACTERIZATION FOR SELECTIVE TREATMENT OF TARGET TISSUES
    Publication number: 20220323145
    Abstract: A catheter and catheter system can use energy tailored for remodeling and/or removal of target material along a body lumen, often of atherosclerotic material of a blood vessel of a patient. An elongate flexible catheter body with a radially expandable structure may have a plurality of electrodes or other electrosurgical energy delivery surfaces to radially engage atherosclerotic material when the structure expands. An atherosclerotic material detector system may measure and/or characterize the atherosclerotic material and its location, optionally using impedance monitoring.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 26, 2022
    Publication date: October 13, 2022
    Inventors: Corbett W. Stone, Michael F. Hoey, Thomas A. Steinke, Raphael M. Michel, Arthur G. Blanck, Marlene Kay Truesdale, Bret Herscher
