Abstract: A medical device delivery system comprises an elongate member having a main lumen configured to contain a main guidewire and at least one secondary lumen configured to releasably contain a secondary guidewire, the secondary lumen configured to release a first portion of the secondary guidewire when an implantable medical device is advanced along the main guidewire to a first longitudinal position proximate the first portion of the guidewire and configured to release a second portion of the guidewire when the implantable medical device is advanced along the main guidewire to a second longitudinal position proximate the second portion of the guidewire.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward a composite balloon comprising a layer of material having a porous microstructure (e.g., ePTFE or expanded polyethylene) and a thermoplastic polymeric layer useful for medical applications. The layers of the composite balloons become adhered through a stretch blow-molding process. Methods of making and using such composite balloons are also described amongst others.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward medical device deployment apparatuses, systems and methods. The apparatuses, systems and methods may include at least one constraining fiber arranged about a circumference of the medical device and a warp knit configured to separate to deploy the medical device to at least one intermediate constrained configuration and to a fully deployed configuration.

Abstract: Described embodiments are directed to a device for delivery of activatable compounds to a patients lumen, such as in transcatheter procedures. More specifically, described embodiments are directed toward delivery devices operable to deliver the activatable compounds and to activate the compounds by light. Such delivery devices include a balloon (14) having a treatment zone (16) for activatable compound delivery and/or activation and non-treatment zones (18) that block activatable compound delivery and/or activation for controlled delivery and activation of the activatable compounds.

Abstract: Described embodiments include a medical device having a frame including a plurality of strut elements arranged to form a tubular framework and a covering extending along a portion of the frame such that the frame and the covering define a sheath having a lumen extending therethrough.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Syngonium podophyllum named Angelwing having the characteristics of clumping habit, vigorous, full and compact growth habit, short nodes, lack of vining habit, long and narrow leaves with a slight sheen, ease of propagation, less inclination to damage at retail outlets, adaptability to various pot sizes, and its tolerance to lower light levels which make it adaptable to large scale use in interiorscape plantings.
