Patent number: 11957334Abstract: Devices, systems and/or methods for repairing soft tissue adjacent a repair site. In one embodiment, a repair device includes a plate member and an anchor. The plate member having a periphery, the plate member configured to be positioned along an outer surface of the soft tissue. The anchor includes a base and six legs extending from the base, the six legs extending from the base being moveable to a curled configuration such that the six legs wrap around separate portions of the periphery of the plate member with the soft tissue therebetween. In this manner, the repair device may be anchored to the soft tissue.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: CoNextions, Inc.Inventors: Richard J. Linder, Erik N. Kubiak, Roy M. Taylor, Zackery K Evans, Tyler J. Cole, Scott D. Miles, Kent F. Beck

Patent number: 11944531Abstract: Devices, systems and/or methods for repairing soft tissue adjacent a soft tissue repair site. In one embodiment, a repair device configured to couple to soft tissue is provided. The repair device includes a capture portion and an anchor portion. The capture portion configured to extend with radial portions. The anchor portion includes a base with multiple legs extending therefrom. The multiple legs are configured to move from a linear position to a formed position such that, in the formed position, the multiple legs couple to structure of the capture portion.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2018Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: CONEXTIONS, INC.Inventors: Erik N. Kubiak, Roy M. Taylor, Zackery K. Evans, Cody L. Gehrke, Daniel K. Smith, Richard J. Linder, Scott D. Miles, Tyler J. Cole

Patent number: 9259349Abstract: A kit of parts comprises a system and instructions for use for controlling patient temperature which uses a central venous line catheter having a heat exchange element. The central venous line catheter is provided with one or more lumens for providing access to the central blood supply of the patient, and with additional lumens for communicating heat exchange fluid to the heat exchange element. Heat exchange fluid temperature is controlled through a feed back loop in which patient temperature is sensed and used to control a temperature control unit comprising a heating device and/or a cooling device in heat exchange relationship with the heat exchange fluid. A tubing set transports the heat exchange fluid between the central venous line and the temperature control unit, with a pump serving to circulate the fluid in a closed fluid circuit in the system.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2014Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Zoll Circulation, Inc.Inventors: Blair D. Walker, Scott M. Evans, David P. Balding, Peter Barker

Patent number: 8888729Abstract: A catheter is adapted to exchange heat with a body fluid, such as blood, flowing in a body conduit, such as a blood vessel. The catheter includes a shaft with a heat exchange region disposed at its distal end. This region may include hollow fibers which are adapted to receive a remotely cooled heat exchange fluid preferably flowing in a direction counter to that of the body fluid. The hollow fibers enhance the surface area of contact, as well as the mixing of both the heat exchange fluid and the body fluid. The catheter can be positioned to produce hypothermia in a selective area of the body or alternatively positioned to systemically cool the entire body system.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2013Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Zoll Circulation, Inc.Inventors: Wayne A. Noda, Mike L. Jones, Scott M. Evans, Blair D. Walker, William J. Worthen, Yves Pierre Gobin
