  • Features to enhance grip of balloon within airway
    Patent number: 10300257
    Abstract: A dilation assembly includes a shaft and a dilator coupled with the distal end of the shaft. The dilator includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a center portion positioned between the proximal end and the distal end. The center portion dilates from a first configuration to a second configuration. The center portion has a larger diameter than the proximal end and the distal end when the center portion is in the second configuration. At least one gripping feature is positioned on at least a portion of the exterior surface of the center portion. The gripping feature provides friction between the center portion and a bodily lumen when the center portion is in the second configuration.

  • Radiopaque Imprinted Ink Marker for Stent Graft
    Publication number: 20090264990
    Abstract: A tubular synthetic endoluminal graft having at least one radiopaque ink marker pattern to radiographically delineate the surface of the graft cloth. The radiopaque ink marker includes a matrix of ink dots defining an annular band about a circumference of the graft. The endoluminal graft including at least one stent attached to the graft. The at least one stent may overlap or be positioned adjacent the radiopaque ink marker. The radiopaque ink marker may be utilized to facilitate creation of a fenestration in the side wall of the graft in situ to perfuse a side branch vessel.
