Publication number: 20230181344Abstract: Stent delivery systems and methods for making and using stent delivery systems are disclosed. An example stent delivery system may include an inner member having a stent receiving region. A stent may be disposed along the stent receiving region. The system may also include a deployment sheath axially slidable relative to the inner member. The deployment sheath may have a proximal end region. A rack may be coupled to the proximal end region of the deployment sheath. An outer shaft may be disposed along at least a portion of the deployment sheath. The deployment sheath may be rotatable relative to the inner member, the outer shaft or both.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: BRADY SCOTT LOGAN, JASON T. ANDERSON, PAUL MICHAEL GOUDREAU, ANDREW NATHANIEL SMITH, IAN THOMAS FORTE, TYLER LORNE HEBIG, ROWAN OLUND HETTEL, RYAN DALE HENDRICKSON

Patent number: 10952629Abstract: A catheter includes a proximal shaft and a distal shaft having differing diameters; often, the distal shaft will have a smaller diameter than the proximal shaft. A coupling joins the distal shaft to the proximal shaft. For example, a proximal portion of the distal shaft can be inserted into the coupling through its distal end, while the proximal portion of the coupling can be inserted into the proximal shaft through its distal end. To provide an atraumatic transition from the distal shaft to the proximal shaft, coupling can taper towards its distal end, for example by using a dome- or frustoconical-shape for the distal portion of the coupling. The exterior of the coupling can be ribbed to facilitate bonding to the proximal shaft. The distal shaft can be formed into at least a partial loop having a fixed or variable radius of curvature.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2020Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: Linda Kay Nemec, Neil David Hawkinson, Ryan Dale Hendrickson, Matthew Lee Knochenmus
