Patent number: 8579961Abstract: The present invention provides a sectional crimped graft that allows graft flexibility where required and limits the overall longitudinal extension. The present invention overcomes the disadvantage of fully crimped grafts by controlling the number of crimps per unit length, crimp height, crimp geometry and their location along the graft wall, dependent on the particular end-use application. In so doing, flexibility and elongation can be controllably tailored only in areas where significant anatomical angulation is present. It may also be useful in applications other than stent grafts such as surgical grafts for aortic and peripheral areas. Limiting the overall graft longitudinal extension also facilitates the deployment of the stent-graft into the blood vessel.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2007Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Lifeshield Sciences LLCInventors: Thomas V. Casey, II, Kristoff Nelson, Fergus Quigley

Publication number: 20110172644Abstract: A central venous catheter is provided having an outer tubular member and an inner tubular member that are preferably formed as a single integrated tube containing polymer material of different durometer and varying amounts of radiopaque filler material. The polymer durometer of the inner tubular member is higher than the polymer durometer of the outer tubular member. The percentage by weight of the filler material contained in the inner tubular member is higher than that of the outer tubular member. The combination of the higher durometer inner tubular member and the lower durometer outer tubular member along the length of the tube provides the desired tensile strength, hardness, chemical resistance and fatigue resistance and at the same time provides the desired flexibility and radiopacity.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2011Publication date: July 14, 2011Inventors: Michael S. Zanoni, Thomas V. Casey, II, Brian F. Nentwick, Daniel K. Recinella, William M. Appling
