Patent number: 11311373Abstract: Ophthalmic systems and methods of changing an optical power of an ophthalmic system are described. In an example, the ophthalmic system includes an accommodating intraocular device shaped to be implantable in an eye and an extraocular device separate from the accommodating intraocular device shaped to be removably mountable to a portion of the eye outside a bulb of the eye, such as an underlid portion of the eye. In an example, the method includes wirelessly transmitting power from a power source of an extraocular device removably mounted outside a bulb of an eye to an accommodating intraocular device implanted in the eye.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Christian Gutierrez, Brooke Basinger, Patricia Johnson, Stein Kuiper, Kedar Shah, Georges Goetz, Shishira Nagesh, Chelsea Gordon

Patent number: 10973663Abstract: Distal tips for use with delivery catheters are disclosed that are configured to maintain complete engagement between the distal tip and a distal opening of a sheath component of the delivery catheter so as to prevent separation therebetween and/or to prevent fish-mouthing of a distal leading edge of the sheath component during in vivo use. Distal tips so configured realize one or more of the objectives of safer tracking of the delivery catheter through the vasculature, safe crossing of the delivery catheter through structural components of the vasculature and heart, such as through native valves, and safe removal of the delivery catheter post deployment.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2016Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: MEDTRONIC, INC.Inventors: Susheel Deshmukh, Siyan Som, Adam Shipley, Matthew Spurchise, Stephen Peter, Shishira Nagesh

Patent number: 10154921Abstract: A delivery system for delivering a medical device through a vasculature can include a capsule for housing the medical device during delivery and a marker band rotatably fixed to the capsule. The marker band can include a band portion and a single indicator protruding from the band portion. The indicator can allow the rotational orientation of the marker band to be determined while the medical device is in the vasculature, the rotational orientation being around a central axis of the vasculature. A delivery system for delivering a medical device through a vasculature includes a capsule for housing the medical device during delivery and a marker band attached to a proximal end of the capsule. The marker band can include a base portion and a protrusion that can be configured to extend from the base portion towards a distal end of the capsule. Related methods are also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2016Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Medtronic Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Glenn Stante, Shishira Nagesh, Billy Tam

The top portion of the housing defines a first and second nozzle, and the bottom portion of the housing defines an opening. A diaphragm has an open position and a closed position, and the diaphragm is disposed between the top portion of the housing and the bottom portion of the housing. A first fluid flow path between the first nozzle and the second nozzle is defined by the housing and the diaphragm, when the diaphragm is in the closed position. A second fluid flow path between the opening and the first nozzle is defined by the housing and the diaphragm, when the diaphragm is in the closed position. Such a valve can be used for a number of purposes including hemodialysis procedures.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2014Publication date: April 2, 2015Inventors: Yuan-Ping Li, Sherri Jane Hall, Kelvin Hong, Shishira Nagesh, Mary Katherine O'Grady, Thomas Reifsnyder, Thora Thorgilsdottir, Clifford R.

Publication number: 20140128792Abstract: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a device and method for hemodialysis including a needle access port having a housing defining a septum, wherein the septum is configured for needle access. Generally, the needle access port will have three septa for communication with valves configured to be anastomosed to a large-diameter blood vessel. The valves are in fluid communication with a flow of blood through the large-diameter blood vessel. The device also includes an elongate tube having a first and a second elongate lumen, wherein a first end of the tube is coupled to the needle access port and a second end of the tube is coupled to the valve. The device can be cleaned by injecting a cleaning fluid into a first septum of the needle access port and extracting it though the second septum of the needle access port.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2013Publication date: May 8, 2014Applicant: THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITYInventors: Yuan-Ping Li, Sherri Jane Hall, Kelvin Hong, Shishira Nagesh, Mary Katherine O'Grady, Thomas Reifsnyder, Thora Thorgilsdottir, Clifford R.
