Patent number: 11883069Abstract: A medical device may include a shaft extending between a proximal end and a distal end. The shaft may include a lumen therein. The medical device may include a handle coupled to the proximal end of the shaft and may include a mode selector. The mode selector may be adapted to transition between a first mode and a second mode of the medical device. The medical device may further include a compressed fluid source. In the first mode, the compressed fluid source may be fluidly coupled with the shaft so as to impart a negative pressure in at least a portion of the lumen. In the second mode, the compressed fluid source may be fluidly coupled with the shaft so as to impart a positive pressure in the at least a portion of the lumen.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Establishment Labs S.A.Inventors: Juan José Chacón Quirós, Rudy A. Mazzocchi, Roberto De Mezerville, John Hancock, Nathalia Araujo, Matthew Solar, Nicholas Lewin

Patent number: 8535242Abstract: A method of manufacturing a guidewire having a discrete length. The method includes the steps of feeding a first end of a corewire into an extrusion device, gripping the first end of the corewire with a gripping apparatus, and extruding a first extrusion material onto an outer surface of the corewire while the gripping apparatus pulls the corewire through the extrusion device to form an extrusion jacket on the outer surface of the corewire. The corewire has a predetermined length corresponding to a length of the guidewire.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2007Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Solar, Richard Acevedo, Eric Welch, Scott Jones

Patent number: 7896215Abstract: Described is a full-thickness resection system which includes a control unit coupled to a proximal end of a flexible endoscope. The control unit remains outside of a body when the stapling head is in an operative position within a body lumen. The control unit includes (i) an anvil actuator coupled to an anvil in the stapling head, actuation of the anvil actuator moves the anvil axially relative to a stapling mechanism in the stapling head to compress a folded full-thickness portion of lumenal tissue between the anvil and the stapling mechanism. In addition, the control unit includes (ii) a stapler actuator coupled to the stapling mechanism in the stapling head, actuation of the stapler actuator causing the stapling mechanism to drive staples through the folded lumenal tissue against the anvil.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2009Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Ronald D. Adams, Roy H. Sullivan, III, George A. Nunez, Lauren O. Main, Peter K. Kratsch, Jurgen A. Kortenbach, Matthew Solar, Gerhard F. Buess, Marc O. Schurr
