Publication number: 20240091491Abstract: The present invention relates to an inner support catheter comprising an elongated catheter body with a distal region having a constrained linear shape and an unconstrained shape. The distal region includes a distal first section and a proximal second section that forms a major curve with the proximal second section in the unconstrained shape. In the unconstrained shape, the proximal second section lies substantially in a first reference plane, while the distal first section is positioned at least partially outside of the first reference plane. This configuration may allow for improved maneuverability and flexibility of the inner support catheter during medical procedures.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: MicroVention, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Davis, Bryan Kan, Joseph Gulachenski

Patent number: 10647000Abstract: A self-cleaning apparatus for sorting a mixture of materials is disclosed that comprises a material sorter and a gantry positioning system elevated above the material sorter. The gantry positioning system includes a longitudinal travel rail with a longitudinal travel rail carriage, a traverse travel rail with a transverse travel rail carriage connected to the longitudinal travel rail carriage running perpendicular to the longitudinal travel rail, and a vertical travel rail connected to the vertical travel rail carriage running perpendicular to the traverse travel rail. A cutter and, optionally, a picker, are connected to the vertical travel rail. The gantry positioning system can move the cutter and picker various directions to dislodge and remove material that may have accumulated on the sorter. Instead of a gantry positioning system, the apparatus may have a multi-axis arm.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2019Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: CP Manufacturing, Inc.Inventor: Nicholas Davis
