Patent number: 11446182Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sealing an ear canal for retaining a solution in the ear canal. Adhesive earplugs are provided through which the solution can be delivered, and which, following delivery, retain the fluid in the ear canal. The systems and methods may also be useful for delivering an anesthetizing solution to the ear canal of a human patient and for maintaining the solution therein for use with an iontophoresis system for anesthetizing the tympanic membrane.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2019Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: TUSKER MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Rohit Girotra, Bernard H. Andreas, Alfredo Cantu, Nikhil Bhat, Mansour Saleki, Shrirang V. Ranade, Miranda Ray

Patent number: 10835272Abstract: A system for removing embolic material from an intravascular site is disclosed. The system includes an elongate, flexible tubular body, having a proximal end, a distal end, and a tubular side wall defining at least one lumen extending axially there through; an axial restraint carried by the side wall and exposed to the lumen; a rotatable core wire extendable through the lumen, the core wire having a distal end; a limit carried by the core wire, the limit having a bearing surface for rotatably engaging the restraint; and an agitator tip on the distal end of the core wire. The limit and the restraint are engageable to permit rotation of the core wire but limit distal advance of the tip relative to the tubular body.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Incept, LLCInventors: Yi Yang, Farhad Khosravi, Lex Philip Jansen, Ryan Taylor Krone, Miranda Ray, Carolyn Stone, Tiffany Tran Ngo

Patent number: 9808266Abstract: The apparatus includes a catheter having a combined infusion/aspiration lumen, a three lumen proximal portion and a two lumen distal portion. An infusion/aspiration valve located at the distal end of the catheter facilitates performing infusion and aspiration through the same lumen, which in turn reduces the number of lumens, and enables the combined infusion/aspiration lumen to be made larger without the need to increase the diameter of the catheter. Differing material properties in the proximal and distal portions of the catheter enable the proximal portion to be made stiffer for pushability, while the distal portion is more flexible to navigate tortuous vasculature and enable a greater amplitude agitator to be received within the catheter.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2016Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Miranda Ray, Jessica Clayton, Lawrence Go, Michael Thai, James Hanlon, Young Vo
