Publication number: 20170136220Abstract: Catheters for occluding, visualizing, irrigating, evacuating, and delivering agents to a treatment area are disclosed. The catheters comprise a catheter body comprising five lumens, first and second occlusion balloons coupled to the catheter body, an optional space-occupying balloon coupled to the catheter body and disposed between the first and second occlusion balloons, and an optional visualization means that enables visualization between the first and second occlusion balloons. Methods for using these catheters are also disclosed. A method comprises inflating the first and second occlusion balloons, inflating the space-occupying balloon, allowing fluid to exit via an evacuation lumen, optionally irrigating or aspirating to facilitate fluid exit via said lumen, and delivering an agent to a treatment area via the agent lumen.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2016Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventors: C.

Patent number: 9259212Abstract: Wound closure apparatus is provided having a force-transmitting surface operable to be placed in a proximal, external, wound-closing position on a patient, together with a force-exerting assembly operable to exert a wound-closing pressure against the patient's tissue. The force-transmitting surface is preferably three-dimensionally asymmetric to generate different forces along the length of the surface. The apparatus is especially designed for the closure of wounds attendant to endovascular interventions, e.g., a femoral artery puncture wound. The apparatus is positioned and operated so as to partially close the patient's artery upstream of the arteriotomy. The apparatus and methods hereof may also be used for the closure of wounds created during venous intervention procedures. A smaller wound closure apparatus is provided for the closure of brachial and radial wounds, and has a wrist or arm strap for securing the apparatus onto the wrist or bicep region of a patient.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Wound Care 360, LLCInventors: Charles Rex Teeslink, Griscom Bettle

Patent number: 8353929Abstract: Wound closure apparatus is provided including a body having an elongated, lowermost force-transmitting surface operable to be placed in a proximal, external, wound-closing position on a patient, together with a force-exerting assembly coupled with the body and operable to exert a downwardly directed force serving to generate wound-closing pressure against the patient's tissue. The force-transmitting surface is preferably three-dimensionally asymmetric so that forces of different magnitude are exerted at different locations along the length of the surface. The apparatus is especially designed for the closure of wounds attendant to endovascular interventions, e.g., a femoral artery puncture wound incident to percutaneous cardiac intervention (PCI), and is capable of quickly effecting wound closure with a time-to-ambulation (TTA) of approximately 60 minutes, and with a very low complication rate.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2012Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Wound Care 360, LLCInventors: Charles Rex Teeslink, Griscom Bettle

Publication number: 20110245868Abstract: A wound sealing system and method for closing a vascular access site. The method invisions suturing a single continuous Z-stitch into a skin area around a wound and wound tract while the catheter remains within the vessel; covering the wound and suture holes with a hemostatic powder; tightening and knotting the ends of the suture together in an X configuration, applying finger pressure against the hemostatic powder as the catheter is removed; and twisting the suture ends together to tension the Z-stitch, pulling the skin area into inversion. The wound sealing system includes a powder containment device (PCD) which surrounds wound and catheter and a suture twisting member configured with the PCD to tension the Z-stitch closing the wound and arresting blood flow. The hole in the PCD holds a quantity of the hemostatic agent sufficient to cover the wound and suture holes.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2010Publication date: October 6, 2011Applicant: BIOLIFE, L.L.C.Inventors: Rex Teeslink, Griscom Bettle, Talmadge Kelly Keene
