Patent number: 10639181Abstract: A system for delivering an implant including a handle, a trigger, an actuation assembly, and a catheter assembly. The actuation assembly is configured to displace the outer tubular member in the proximal direction and to separately move the inner shaft member distally upon deployment of the trigger from the first position to the second position, and move the inner shaft member proximally with no displacement of the outer tubular member upon return of the trigger from the second position to the first position. The catheter assembly includes an outer tubular member, an inner shaft member, and a pusher assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: ABBOTT CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Daniel H. Shumer, Ronald G. Earles, Nianjiong J. Bei, Barbara Stamberg, Daniel Simon, Maria Del Rosario Nava, Michael L. Green, Matthew J. Gillick

Publication number: 20180193605Abstract: Catheter assembly for delivering an implant including an outer tubular member, an inner shaft member, and a pusher assembly. The outer tubular member defines an outer tubular member lumen and includes an inner layer, a reinforcement layer, a middle layer, and an outer layer. The inner shaft member is disposed at least partially within the outer tubular member lumen. The inner shaft member includes a proximal inner shaft portion and a distal inner shaft portion, the distal inner shaft portion having a distal end portion. The pusher assembly is coupled to the distal end portion of the distal inner shaft portion. The inner shaft member is configured to move distally and proximally relative the outer tubular member between an initial position and a deployed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2017Publication date: July 12, 2018Applicant: ABBOTT CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Daniel H.

Publication number: 20080140003Abstract: A method of using a balloon catheter to perform a medical procedure at a treatment site in a patient's body lumen and to recover an expanded device, such as an embolic protection device, which is adjacent to the treatment site in the body lumen. The inflated balloon is deflated and regroomed to a low profile configuration in the body lumen, and the balloon catheter is advanced distally from the treatment site to collapse the expanded device (e.g., embolic protection filter) within the balloon catheter. The balloon catheter has a recovery distal tip for collapsing an expanded device, and has a regrooming sheath member configured to slidably receive the deflated balloon therein to regroom the balloon.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2006Publication date: June 12, 2008Applicant: ADVANCED CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Nianjiong J. Bei, Danielle Laflash, Patrick C. Saxton
