  • Apparatus for stripping fibrin from a catheter
    Patent number: 7037313
    Abstract: An apparatus for the removal of build-up about an implanted catheter having an interior surface, an exterior surface and an open free end positioned within an individual's vascular system. The apparatus includes a delivery assembly storing a stripping coil. The delivery assembly includes a guide structure for guiding the stripping coil through the catheter to the free end of the catheter. The stripping coil is formed of a shape memory or super-elastic material, wherein the stripping coil is preformed to assume a shape wrapping about the outer surface of the catheter in a manner providing for the stripping of build-up from the outer surface of the catheter when the stripping coil is moved relative to the catheter.

  • Intra vascular snare and method of forming the same
    Patent number: 6458145
    Abstract: The intravascular snare is formed with a central shaft which is attached to the proximal ends of a plurality of loops. The loops are connected together at joinder points spaced from both the distal and proximal ends of the loops to maintain the relative geometry of the loops in both an expanded and compressed condition. The loops include a material which provides radiopacity.
