Publication number: 20250143742Abstract: Rotational atherectomy devices and systems can remove or reduce stenotic lesions in blood vessels by rotating one or more abrasive elements within the vessel. The abrasive elements are attached to a distal portion of an elongate flexible drive shaft that extends from a handle assembly that includes a driver for rotating the drive shaft. In particular implementations, individual abrasive elements are attached to the drive shaft at differing radial angles in comparison to each other (e.g., configured in a helical array). The centers of mass of the abrasive elements can define a path that spirals around the drive shaft in a direction that is opposite to the wind direction of filars of the drive shaft, and opposite to the direction of rotation. In some embodiments, a concentric abrasive tip member is affixed to and extends distally from a distal-most end of the drive shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Paul Joseph Robinson, Cassandra Ann Piippo Svendsen, Albert Selden Benjamin, Charles Anthony Plowe

Publication number: 20250144353Abstract: A medical circuit incorporates a medical tube and a connector. The medical circuit transports gases to and/or from a patient via a patient interface. The connector has a plurality of rigid components at least partially surrounded by an overmold. The medical tube has a first elongate member and a second elongate member. The first elongate member is substantially hollow. A vent can be coupled to the first elongate members such that it maintains gaseous communication with the lumen. The vent may provide a pathway between the lumen and the atmosphere, such that gases may move into and/or out of the lumen during cleaning. The vent may also provide a barrier to liquid and/or substance ingress into the first elongate member during cleaning of the medical circuit. The medical circuit can be reusable.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Paul Joseph MOODY, Sven Andreas MUNKELT, Katie FYFE, Telge Nishan Chaturanga PEIRIS, Kevin Blake POWELL, Bhavna PRENTICE
