Patent number: 11890085Abstract: According to one aspect, an implantable medical device may include an anchor assembly configured to anchor the medical device to a body lumen. The implantable medical device may also include a capsule. The capsule may include a pH sensor. The pH sensor may be configured to measure a pH of contents within the body lumen. The capsule may also include a power source, a controller, and an impedance sensor. The impedance sensor may be configured to measure an impedance within the body lumen.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: George W. Duval, Paul J. Smith, Michael Y. Ko

Patent number: 11457973Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to devices and methods for full thickness tissue resection of an organ (e.g., intestine). In some embodiments, a device includes a conduit, and a plurality of arms rotatably coupled to the conduit. Each of the plurality of arms is movable between a collapsed position and an expanded position, wherein the plurality of arms extends radially outward from the conduit in the expanded position. The device may further include an electrocautery wire coupled to each of the plurality of arms, the electrocautery wire positioned directly adjacent an exterior tissue wall when the plurality of arms is in the expanded position. The device may be advanced back in towards a lumen of the organ until a targeted section of tissue is cut by the electrocautery wire and removed.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2019Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Michael Y. Ko, John A. Hingston, Andrew Horowitz, Kevin Windheuser
