Patent number: 11576710Abstract: A dispensing system includes a device having a body extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite proximal and distal ends. The body includes a proximal chamber, a distal chamber and a wall between the chambers. The body includes a first port in communication with the proximal chamber and a second port in communication with the distal chamber. A shaft is movably positioned within the body. The shaft extending through the wall and comprising a proximal plunger positioned within the proximal chamber and a distal plunger positioned within the distal chamber. Wherein pressure introduced through an opening in the proximal end moves the shaft such that the proximal plunger moves a material within the proximal chamber out of the first port and the distal plunger moves a material within the distal chamber out of the second port. Kits and methods of use are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2019Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: MEDTRONIC HOLDING COMPANY SARLInventors: Neil Sasaki, Amy L. Arthur, Samuel V.

Patent number: 11413080Abstract: A curved inflatable bone tamp includes an outer shaft defining a passageway. An inner shaft is positioned within the passageway. The inner shaft extends between opposite first and second end. The inner shaft defines a lumen. The inner shaft is curved between the first end and the second end. A first leg of a balloon is coupled to the outer shaft and a second leg of the balloon is coupled to the inner shaft such that a material can flow through the lumen and into the balloon to inflate the balloon. The balloon includes a wall having a variable thickness between the legs when the balloon is uninflated and a uniform thickness between the legs when the balloon is inflated. Kits, systems and methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: MEDTRONIC HOLDING COMPANY SÀRLInventors: Mojan Goshayeshgar, Samuel V. Bolosan

Patent number: 11045240Abstract: A delivery system is provided that includes a device having a body extending along a longitudinal axis between proximal and distal ends. The body includes a proximal chamber, a distal chamber and a wall between the chambers. The body includes a first port in communication with the proximal chamber and a second port in communication with the distal chamber. A shaft is movably positioned within the body.

Publication number: 20110190831Abstract: A balloon catheter can include an actively steerable element for adjusting the configuration of the balloon after placement at a target location. By coupling the actively steerable element to the balloon, any articulation of the actively steerable element will also re-configure the position of the balloon, thereby enabling greater control over procedures that make use of such a balloon catheter. The active steering capability can also enhance the material manipulation capabilities of the balloon catheter, and enable operations and actions that are not possible with a non-steerable balloon catheter.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2010Publication date: August 4, 2011Applicant: KYPHON SARLInventors: Masoumeh Mafi, Johanah M.
