Patent number: 11969189Abstract: A medical device system may include an elongate shaft having a lumen extending from a proximal end to a distal end, a proximal release wire, and a distal release wire. The proximal release wire may extend distally from a proximal end configured to remain outside the body to a distal end and may be slidably disposed within the lumen of the elongate shaft. The proximal release wire may include a distal stopper coupled to the distal end thereof. The distal release wire may extend distally from a proximal end to a distal end and may be slidably disposed within the lumen of the elongate shaft. The proximal end of the distal release wire may be slidably coupled to the distal end of the proximal release wire. The distal release wire may be configured to releasably attach a medical device to the distal end of the elongate shaft.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2020Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Ramon Libarnes, Timothy A. Ostroot, Nicholas Lee Tassoni, Eric Douglas Nygaard

Patent number: 11938047Abstract: A stent delivery device is provided that includes an inner member defining a distal tip and a stent holding region, and an outer tubular member slidingly disposed over the inner member and configured to engage the distal tip. Seal members may be disposed on one or more of an outer surface of the inner member, the distal tip, and the outer tubular member. The seal members define a liquid-tight sealed chamber surrounding the stent holding region.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Laura E. Christakis, Colby Harris, Gerald Fredrickson, Ramon Libarnes

Patent number: 11918752Abstract: A method of manufacturing an elongate shaft for delivery of a medical device may include disposing a polymeric sheath having a lumen extending therethrough over a mandrel; sliding a proximal portion of the polymeric sheath into a lumen of a metallic tubular member; placing a polymeric tubular member over the distal portion of the polymeric sheath and a distal portion of the metallic tubular member; fixedly attaching a proximal coupler to a distal end of a longitudinal support filament; inserting a proximal end of the longitudinal support filament between the polymeric sheath and the polymeric tubular member to position the longitudinal support filament alongside the distal portion of the metallic tubular member and a distal portion of the polymeric sheath; and reflowing the polymeric tubular member to secure the longitudinal support filament relative to the polymeric sheath and the metallic tubular member.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Nicholas Lee Tassoni, Ramon Libarnes, Cory Ross Stenberg
