  • Variable-stiffness imaging window and production method thereof
    Patent number: 11147535
    Abstract: An imaging window of an imaging catheter includes a first imaging window section and a second imaging window section. The first imaging window section has a finite length and is formed from a first material having a flexural modulus. The second imaging window section has a finite length and is formed from a second material having a flexural modulus. The flexural modulus of the first material is different than the flexural modulus of the second material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 10, 2016
    Date of Patent: October 19, 2021
    Assignee: ACIST Medical Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert Zelenka, Ruth E. Beeby
  • Catheter sheath and methods thereof
    Patent number: 10905851
    Abstract: A catheter a first sheath having a proximal end and a distal end, and a length extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The first sheath being devoid of any bonds between the proximal end and the distal end, and a flexural modulus of the first sheath varying along the length. A method of making a catheter having more than one flexural modulus.
