Publication number: 20230277208Abstract: An endoluminal punch and introducer sheath are described wherein the endoluminal punch comprises a guidewire lumen through which a user is capable of placing a guidewire. The endoluminal punch system further comprises a mechanism affixed to the hub which is capable of controlling the axial positioning of the guidewire relative to the endoluminal punch distal end. The control mechanism can be released so that the endoluminal punch can be removed from a patient while retaining the guidewire in place within the patient. The endoluminal punch introducer, including a sheath and dilator, can comprise energy emitting electrodes or transducers for cutting larger size holes in stubborn (friable, scarred, or fibrotic) tissue. In other embodiments, the endoluminal punch can comprise a guidewire or stylet, wherein the guidewire or stylet is capable of emitting energy to cut through tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: Indian Wells Medical, Inc.Inventors: Jay Alan Lenker, James Alexander Carroll, Eugene Michael Breznock, Donald J. Kolehmainen, Peter van der Sluis
