  • Delivery and retrieval manifold for a distal protection filter
    Patent number: 7722638
    Abstract: Devices and methods for delivery or retrieval of a distal protection device. A distal protection assembly may comprise an outer sheath, an inner shaft disposed within a lumen of the outer sheath, a distal protection device disposed at a distal end of the inner shaft; and a manifold coupled to a proximal end of the outer sheath that is adapted for moving the outer sheath relative to the inner shaft.

  • Manifold and Valve Seal for Use with a Medical Device
    Publication number: 20090204078
    Abstract: Disclosed is a manifold including a housing having multiple ports and multiple bores networking the ports. An actuatable valve, such as a slidable valve, including one or more bores may be positioned in the housing such that the valve is actuatable between a first position and a second position. Actuation of the valve may selectively establish a desired fluid pathway through the manifold. One or more seals may be interposed between the valve and the housing. The seal includes at least a first sealing element, a second sealing element, and a land extending between the sealing elements. The sealing elements are configured to provide a fluid tight seal between the housing and the valve when the valve is in either the first or second position, and the land is configured to provide a fluid tight seal between the housing and the valve when the valve is in an intermediate position.

  • Manifold system for a medical device
    Patent number: 7172572
    Abstract: A number of devices are illustrated for providing a manifold that can simply and selectively couple a number of different therapeutic and diagnostic elements to a catheter or other medical device. Some examples include devices having sliding actuators, rotary actuators, button actuators, or combinations thereof, for easily changing the valve scheme and fluid pathways within a manifold.
