Patent number: 11172937Abstract: Tissue compression devices having pressure indicators and methods of using the same. The tissue compression devices provide feedback to a user with respect to the pressure being applied to selected tissue at a selected location such as a radial artery to assist the user in applying the desired amount of pressure to the tissue (such as the pressure needed to achieve hemostasis at an access site). The pressure indication may be provided by a ring indicator that moves between two configurations (e.g., a concave configuration and a convex configuration), a bellow chamber in a housing, a bladder located below a bladder window, etc.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2018Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Inventors: Sanaz Saatchi, Joseph Berglund, Conor Flannery, Mark Hoff, Brian Joseph Mason, Yusuke Miyashita, Remy O'Leary Pieron, Justin Williams

Patent number: 10799248Abstract: Tissue compression devices having a tension limiting strap retainer and methods of using the same. The tissue compression devices described herein may include a strap retainer that is attached to a base by an elastic member that is configured to draw the strap retainer towards the base. The tissue compression devices described herein may also include a tension indicator that extends between the base of the tissue compression device and strap retainer. The tension indicator may be configured to limit the travel distance of the strap retainer away from the base in response to forces acting on the strap retainer. The tension indicator may also provide visual feedback to a user of the tension force in a strap to attach the tissue compression device to a patient.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2017Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Sanaz Saatchi, Conor Flannery, Mark Hoff, John Lai, Brian Joseph Mason, Yusuke Miyashita, Remy O'Leary Pieron

Publication number: 20180185617Abstract: A sheath introducer system including a sheath introducer defining a lumen therethrough and having a proximal valve housing in fluid communication with a distal tubular sheath, wherein a proximal end of the valve housing defines a proximal opening of the lumen of the sheath introducer. A gasket seated within the valve housing has a first surface, a second surface and an outer periphery extending between the first and second surfaces. A first slit is formed into the first surface having an inner surface defining a first gap. A second slit formed into the second surface having an inner surface defining a second gap. A notch extends into the first gap of the first slit forming a bump on the inner surface of the first slit, wherein the second slit intersects the first slit at the notch such that the notch prevents the first and second slits from being in fluid communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2018Publication date: July 5, 2018Inventors: Sanaz SAATCHI, Andrew MURPHY, Curtis YARRA

Patent number: 9955978Abstract: Tissue compression devices including a multi-chamber bladder that is retained within the tissue compression device, with the multi-chamber bladder being positioned in a bladder orifice in a base of a compression device body. The multi-chamber bladder includes at least one upper chamber located above the base and at least one lower chamber located below the base. The lower chamber is located between the base and a selected location on a patient when the compression device is positioned over selected tissue such as, e.g., a radial artery, as described herein.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2014Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Conor Flannery, Joseph Berglund, Mark Hoff, Brian Joseph Mason, Yusuke Miyashita, Remy O'Leary Pieron, Sanaz Saatchi

Publication number: 20150305751Abstract: Tissue compression devices with deflecting pressure elements and methods of using the same are described herein. The tissue compression devices include a pressure element and a retention structure attached to the pressure element. The retention structure may be configured to retain the intermediate portion of the pressure element over selected tissue in a selected location on a patient (such as, e.g., over a radial artery access site). Movement of first and second end portions of the pressure element towards each other along an actuation axis causes the intermediate portion of the pressure element to deflect away from the actuation axis towards the selected tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2014Publication date: October 29, 2015Applicant: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Mark Hoff, Gary Kelly, Sanaz Saatchi, Brian Joseph Mason, John W.
