Patent number: 8893749Abstract: A flexible conduit for insertion into a body lumen comprises a plurality of elements coupled end to end to define a conduit lumen. A first one of the elements includes a male portion and a female portion. A second element includes a female portion having an inner surface configured to engage a male portion of an outer surface of the first element to form a first ball joint. A third element includes a male portion, an outer surface of the male portion of the third element configured to engage an inner surface of the female portion of the first element to form a second ball joint. The male and female portions of the first element are adapted to fictionally engage the female portion of the second element and the male portion of the third element to establish a rigid connection therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2013Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventor: Stephen J.

Patent number: 8628555Abstract: An apparatus and method for ejecting fluid from a fluid delivery system. The fluid delivery system has a pneumatic assembly that when triggered injects gas into a hydraulic assembly, which in turn ejects fluid through an external interface. An electronic interface displays various measurements, for example, how much fluid has been ejected and if the hydraulic system is closed the pressure of the system. The pneumatic assembly can also be depressurized such that fluid can reenter the hydraulic assembly through the external interface.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2012Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Stephen J. Perry, Michele B. Carter, David R. Conti, Thomas F. Janecek, Bryan D. Knodel, Anthony Scott Hollars, Peter Crowley, Donald C. Hovey, William Lucas Churchill, John B. Golden, Yam Chin, Mark L.
