Publication number: 20240130873Abstract: A mandrel for forming a stent with a tapered profile and one or more anti-migration features includes a first stent shaping segment having a first diameter, a second stent shaping segment having a second diameter less than the first diameter and a tapered segment disposed therebetween. A third stent shaping segment is releasably securable to the second stent shaping segment and has a third diameter greater than the second diameter. One or more movable pins are outwardly extendable from corresponding apertures formed within the tapered segment. An actuation element is engagable with the first stent shaping segment and includes a tapered surface configured to engage the one or more movable pins and support the one or more movable pins extended from the corresponding apertures.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2024Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: THOMAS M.

Patent number: 11919097Abstract: A reciprocating saw includes a housing assembly and a motor positioned within the housing assembly. The motor includes a pinion. A drive mechanism is positioned within the housing assembly and includes a gear driven by the pinion, a hub coupled to the gear, a spindle, and a connecting rod. A clutch assembly is coupled to the drive mechanism to selectively transmit drive force form the gear to the hub. The clutch assembly includes a first disk coupled to the gear, a second disk coupled to the hub, a biasing member, and a threaded fastener. The biasing member is positioned between the hub and the gear to bias the first and second disks into frictional engagement. The threaded fastener extends through the gear and threadably engages the hub to couple the hub to the gear. Tightening the threaded fastener pulls the hub toward the gear to preload the biasing member.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORPORATIONInventors: Brian Wattenbach, Jeffrey Holly, Benjamin Ludy, Roger D.

Publication number: 20170119556Abstract: Medical devices and methods for making and using a medical device are disclosed. An example medical device may include an implantable endoprosthesis. The implantable endoprosthesis may include a cylindrical body having a proximal end, a distal end, and an axial bonding region extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The cylindrical body may include one or more winding filaments and a plurality of discrete axial bonds disposed along the axial bonding region. The discrete axial bonds may secure together edge regions of the one or more winding filaments.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2016Publication date: May 4, 2017Inventors: Thomas Holly, Martyn G.

Publication number: 20170086800Abstract: Medical devices and methods are disclosed in the present application. In one illustrative example a tissue removal device may comprise an elongate shaft defining a lumen and having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein a proximal portion of the elongate shaft has a first diameter and a distal portion of the elongate shaft has a second diameter, and wherein the first diameter is less than the second diameter and an elongate member disposed at least partially within the elongate shaft, the elongate member having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end of the elongate member comprising a cap. In some further embodiments, the elongate member may be axially translatable between a proximal position and a distal position, and the cap may form a closed receptacle with the distal portion of the elongate shaft when the elongate member is in the proximal position.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2016Publication date: March 30, 2017Inventors: Martyn G.

Publication number: 20060198942Abstract: A method and device for coating a medical device, such as a stent, including forming coating droplets using a mesh nebulizer and transporting the coating droplets to the medical device, for example through a converging chamber. The coating droplets may be accelerated to a speed sufficient to break the coating droplets into smaller droplets upon impact with the medical device. The mesh nebulizer may have a convex inlet side and may form a converging plume of coating droplets. The mesh nebulizer may have one or more groups of pores, the pores within each group may be subject to similar amplitudes of vibration. The coating material may be heated or cooled prior to nebulizing. The chamber may include baffles configured to allow only a predetermined size range of coating particles to pass.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2006Publication date: September 7, 2006Inventors: Timothy O'Connor, Niall Grenham, David McMorrow, James Shannon, Travis Schauer, Thomas Holly
