Publication number: 20210113718Abstract: A method for generating microbubbles may include providing a syringe having a barrel defining an interior volume, a plunger, a tip and a check valve assembly. The check valve assembly may have an inlet port; a check valve that is configured to open when the plunger is drawn back by a user; and a nozzle in fluid communication with the interior volume and, when the check valve is open, in fluid communication with the inlet port. The method may include drawing liquid into the interior volume; removing a seal from the inlet port and drawing gas adjacent the inlet ports into the interior volume to form microbubbles in the liquid already drawn in; coupling the tip to an intravenous line associated with a patient undergoing a bubble study; and depressing the plunger to force the liquid and the formed microbubbles into the intravenous line.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2020Publication date: April 22, 2021Applicant: Agitated Solutions Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Arcand, Carl Lance Boling, Morgan Clyburn, Micah J. Eimer, Jennifer Chmura

Publication number: 20200138405Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes releasably attaching an image capture assembly to a distal portion of a TEE device. Next, the TEE device coupled to the image capture assembly is inserted into an oral cavity of the patient. With the image capture assembly releasably attached to the distal portion of the TEE device, image data of an esophagus of the patient captured by the image capture assembly is displayed. While viewing the display of image data, the TEE device coupled to the image capture assembly can be moved within the esophagus. With both the TEE device and the image capture assembly disposed within the esophagus, the image capture assembly is detached from the TEE device. With the image capture assembly detached from the TEE device, and with the TEE device disposed at least in part within the esophagus, the image capture assembly is removed from the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2019Publication date: May 7, 2020Applicant: Visura Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David B.

Patent number: 8882762Abstract: A transmural ablation device is provided to achieve endocardial and epicardial ablation at the same site but directed from the inner and outer surfaces of the heart to create a transmural lesion. By ablating from both sides of the heart tissue, it is possible to increase the depth of the lesion created and to increase the likelihood of a transmural lesion. Embodiments pertain to techniques to align the endocardial and epicardial ablation elements and techniques to position and move the endocardial and epicardial ablation elements along a predefined linear, curvilinear, or circular path. The ability to bring the epicardial and endocardial elements more closely or firmly with the underlying tissue is important in creating optimal lesions. Magnetic force attracts the epicardial and endocardial elements.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2010Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: Paul J Wang, Amin Al-Ahmad, William Francis Johnston, Kai Ihnken, Kaartiga Sivanesan, Morgan Clyburn, Kathleen Lee Kang, Lauren Shui Sum Chan, Robert C Robbins, Friedrich B.

Publication number: 20140048977Abstract: A method and apparatus for molding a medical device utilizes a rigid outer stiffener and a flexible inner mold that nests with the outer stiffener. The medical device can be a stimulating apparatus used to deliver electrical stimulation to a peripheral, central or autonomic neural structure. More specifically, the medical device can be a neurostimulator apparatus designed to delivery electrical stimulation to the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) to treat primary headaches, such as migraines, cluster headaches and/or many other neurological disorders, such as atypical facial pain and/or trigeminal neuralgias.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2013Publication date: February 20, 2014Applicant: AUTONOMIC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Ryan Powell, Carl Lance Boling, Jennifer Teng, Morgan Clyburn
