Publication number: 20250090356Abstract: The present teachings provide a medical system for delivering and deploying a medical implant, and the method of using thereof. Specifically, one aspect of the present teachings provides a medical system having an implant with an engagement loop, and a delivery system having an engagement wire and an engagement mechanism. During implant delivery, the engagement wire engages the engagement loop of the implant. The engagement wire further interacts with the engagement mechanism in order to prevent unintended disengagement of the engagement loop from the engagement wire. The present teaching also provide an implant release mechanism that is configured to break away from the implant pusher shaft. Specially, one aspect of the present teaching provides that the implant release mechanism being of one unit with the implant pusher shaft. To release the implant, a clinician simply breaks away the implant release mechanism from the rest of the implant delivery system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Applicant: SHANGHAI WALLABY MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES CO., INC.Inventors: Earl BARDSLEY, Dean SCHAEFER, Jerome CHOE, Tan DINH, Luis CARDENAS, Chengcheng FENG, Cheng IAN, Paul DAO, Paul EHLINGER

Publication number: 20210353446Abstract: The present teachings provide a medical system for delivering and deploying a medical implant, and the method of using thereof. Specifically, one aspect of the present teachings provides a medical system having an implant with an engagement loop, and a delivery system having an engagement wire and an interface. During implant delivery, the engagement wire engages the engagement loop of the implant. The engagement wire further interacts with the interface in order to prevent unintended disengagement of the engagement loop from the engagement wire. Certain embodiment of the present teaching also includes an implant release control mechanism fixedly attaching to a proximal end of the engagement wire. During implant delivery, the implant release control mechanism attaches the proximal end of the delivery system. During implant deployment, the implant release control mechanism detaches the proximal end of the delivery system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Applicant: SHANGHAI WALLABY MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES CO., INC.Inventors: Earl BARDSLEY, Dean SCHAEFER, Jerome CHOE, Tan DINH, Luis CARDENAS, Mindy FENG, Cheng IAN, Paul DAO, Jonathan POLANSKY, J.
