Patent number: 11202893Abstract: A drainage catheter may include a polymeric tubular member and a braided reinforcement that is disposed about the polymeric tubular member. The braided reinforcement may include a repeating braid pattern that extends over a first portion of a length of the drainage catheter and a modified braid pattern that extends over a second portion of the length of the drainage catheter, the modified braid pattern providing a region without any braid filaments. The drainage catheter may include a drainage hole that extends through the polymeric tubular member within the region without any braid filaments.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2018Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Ajay Gupta, Timothy Lawrence Rubesch, Mark Steven Smith

Patent number: 10271972Abstract: An endoprosthesis includes a stent having an inner surface defining a lumen and an outer surface; and a polymeric cover on the outer surface of the stent. The polymeric cover includes a base and adhesion elements. When the endoprosthesis is expanded to the expanded state in a lumen defined by a vessel wall, the adhesion elements create an interlock between the vessel wall and the endoprosthesis.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2015Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Ismail Guler, Allan Charles Shuros, Eric A.
