Patent number: 11426293Abstract: A medical having a proximal and a distal end, that is preformed to assume a superimposed structure at an implantation site but can be made to take on a volume-reduced form making it possible to introduce it by means of a micro-catheter and a guide wire arranged at the proximal end, with the implant in its superimposed structure assuming the form of a longitudinally open tube and having a mesh structure of interconnected strings or filaments. The implant has a tapering structure at its proximal end where the strings or filaments converge at a connection point.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: USSC MEDICAL GMBHInventors: Hans Henkes, Achim Flesser, Ronald Kontek, Jürgen Speder, Ralph Bodenburg

Patent number: 8348825Abstract: A brachytherapy apparatus includes a distal support member and a proximal support member movable relative to the distal support member. The apparatus includes a plurality of elongate treatment members having distal first locations coupled to the distal support member, proximal second locations coupled to the proximal support member, and pathways between the proximal second locations and the distal first locations adapted to receive one or more radiation sources. Each of the treatment members is movable between a generally straight configuration and a curvilinear configuration. An expandable member encloses and provides a spatial volume for the plurality of the treatment members and is adjustable between a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2009Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignees: Varian Medical Systems UK Limited, Varian Medical Systems Haan GmbHInventors: Andy Partridge, Ralph Bodenburg, E. Ishmael Parsai, John J. Feldmeier

Publication number: 20090254111Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the implantation of occlusion helixes (3) into body cavities or blood vessels, in particular aneurysms (12), with at least one occlusion helix (3) comprising a plurality of windings and being movably arranged in longitudinal direction within a catheter (1), and one securing means (9) passing at least partially through the lumen of the occlusion helix (3), with said securing means (9) being fixed in its end areas inside the occlusion helix (3) and consisting of at least two wires with each of the wires having a diameter of less than 0.02 mm. The use of a plurality of wires of relatively small diameter for the securing means (9) enables high flexibility and at the same time high tensile strength properties to be attained. In this way, two opposed characteristics can be achieved which at first glance appear to be mutually exclusive.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2006Publication date: October 8, 2009Inventors: Hermann Monstadt, Ralph Bodenburg
