Patent number: 11642144Abstract: A medical retrieval tool including a sheath; and a basket device connected to the sheath. The basket device includes a shaft and a basket located at a distal end of the shaft. The shaft is movably located in the sheath. The basket includes a first basket cage section and a second basket cage section. The first basket cage section is located in front of the second basket cage section. The basket is configured to be extended from a distal end of the sheath in a plurality of deployment modes including a first deployment mode where the first basket cage section is deployed in a first fully expanded shape and the second basket cage section is located in the sheath; and a second deployment mode where both the first basket cage section and the second basket cage section are deployed out of the distal end of the sheath.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2019Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: Gyrus ACMI, Inc.Inventors: Shweta Bhola, Bruce W.

Patent number: 9936963Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a stone fragment suction device. An apparatus includes a steerable access sheath having a proximal end and a distal end, a tip at the distal end, and a suction conduit positioned within a central lumen of the steerable access sheath from the distal end to the proximal end, the steerable access sheath containing an outer lumen surrounding the central lumen with one or more channels therethrough, an outer circumference of the outer lumen and an outer circumference of the central lumen forming concentric circles, the steerable access sheath further including a radiopaque material at the distal end or along a length of the steerable access sheath to enable tracking with a remote fluoroscopic device.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2015Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Gyrus Acmi, Inc.Inventors: Kester J. Batchelor, Jyue Boon Lim, Kurt G. Shelton, Alexander Carroux, Koji Shimomura, Shweta Bhola, Christopher A. Cook

Publication number: 20080041676Abstract: Vibration suppression systems and methods for isolating payloads from vibrational forces are provided. A gas spring has a housing and a piston within the housing. The piston is mechanically isolated from the housing via a magneto-rheological (MR) fluid gasket. A payload is coupled to the piston, and net gas pressure force is applied to the piston by respectively exposing the first and second piston surfaces to first and second gas pressures. The piston is allowed to be displaced relative to the housing in response to a vibration applied to the housing. A magnetic field is selectively applied to the MR fluid gasket to alternately transform the properties of the MR fluid gasket between primarily viscous and primarily elastic.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2006Publication date: February 21, 2008Applicant: IPTRADE, INC.Inventors: Baruch Pletner, Grace Rose Kessenich, Shweta Bhola
