Publication number: 20130292365Abstract: A color coding is applied to medical guide wires by coloring portions of the guide wire to distinguish similar guide wires and guide wire portions from a particular manufacturer. The metallic elongate core can be colored using various methods such as electrochemical processes, sputtering, electroplating, and laser inducing microstructures to alter the surface characteristics of the elongate metallic core. Alternatively, the outer layer of the guide wire can be color coded by using non-standard colors or by introducing a colored band on the guide wire.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2013Publication date: November 7, 2013Inventors: Wayne E. Cornish, Travis R. Yribarren, Carl P. Frick, Jessica M. Saenz, Emmanuel C. Biagtan, Pablito Buan, David H. Burkett, John J. Nelson, Robert J. Peralta, Michelle E. Alexander, Arthur R. Tyre, John A. Simpson

Patent number: 8308753Abstract: A locking component for locking a medical device onto a guide wire. Such medical devices include, for example, an embolic filter assembly used to capture embolic material that may be created and released into a patient's vasculature during a stenting or angioplasty procedure. The embolic filter assembly tracks along the guide wire, and is delivered to a treatment site where it is locked in place and deployed. The locking component enables the filter assembly to lock onto any standard guide wire, and does not require a modified guide wire that has a specially-designed fitting or stop to accomplish the locking function.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2010Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.Inventors: Douglas H. Gesswein, David K. Wrolstad, David H. Burkett, Robert C. Esselstein, Kathern J. Lind, Pablito Buan, Robert C. Hazelden, Thomas Tokarchik, III, Ryan Grandfield, Aaron Baldwin, Wayne E.

Patent number: 6612998Abstract: An intracorporeal device such as a guide wire with an elongated core having a radiopaque and optionally MRI-compatible markers embedded in a polymer sleeve disposed on a distal section of the elongated core is disclosed. The marker sleeve may be secured to a tapered portion of the distal core section or a constant diameter portion of the distal core section. Individual markers may be formed by radiopaque ribbons, bands, or strips, or may be in the form of a helical coil.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2001Date of Patent: September 2, 2003Assignee: Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.Inventors: Brandon Gosiengfiao, Douglas Gesswein, Wayne Cornish, Sharon Y.
