Publication number: 20230233837Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described including a blood pump that includes at least one motor configured to be disposed outside a body of a subject, a catheter, a proximal impeller disposed on the catheter and configured to pump blood by rotating, and a distal impeller disposed on the catheter. The distal impeller is configured to pump blood by rotating and is disposed on the catheter distally to the proximal impeller such that longitudinal centers of the proximal and distal impellers are separated from each other by at least 3 cm. Other applications are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Ehud Schwammenthal, Yosi Tuval, Daniel Glozman, Tom Shtendel, Gad Lubinsky

Patent number: 11648387Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described, including a blood pump that includes a catheter, a proximal impeller disposed on the catheter inside a proximal impeller housing, and which is configured to pump blood by rotating inside the proximal impeller housing. A distal impeller is disposed on the catheter inside a distal impeller housing, distally to the proximal impeller, and the distal impeller is configured to pump blood by rotating inside the distal impeller housing. A tubular element is disposed between the proximal impeller housing and the distal impeller housing, the tubular element being configured to have a tubular configuration during rotation of the proximal and distal impellers. Other applications are also described.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Magenta Medical Ltd.Inventors: Ehud Schwammenthal, Yosi Tuval, Daniel Glozman, Tom Shtendel, Gad Lubinsky

Publication number: 20220151657Abstract: Systems comprising a needle assembly configured to be inserted and steered within the brain, body tissue, or cavity, for the purpose of performing a surgical procedure. The needle assembly comprises robotically controlled and motorized concentric cannulas. For bending, there may be provided, for example, a tensioning wire configured to bend an inner cannula, or a cannula with an adjustable natural curve. A flexible inner element passing through the bend of the inner cannula is made self-straightening to minimize susceptibility to displacement from its intended path as it is advanced through the tissue. The self-straightening inner element comprises, for example, at least one of a super-elastic tube, a shape-memory alloy tube, a slotted tube, a tightly coiled memory alloy spring, circular links held together by pulling cables preloaded by springs, and a notched inner cannula with a cable connected via a loaded spring to tension the inner cannula.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2020Publication date: May 19, 2022Applicant: Tamar Robotics LTDInventors: Tom SHTENDEL, Hadas ZISO, Noam HASSIDOV

Patent number: 11291824Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described, including a catheter (20) configured to be placed inside a blood vessel of a subject. A first impeller (28) is disposed on the catheter, and a second impeller (28) is disposed on the catheter, proximally to the first impeller. A support structure (160) is disposed upon the catheter such that a longitudinal center of the support structure is disposed between the first and second impellers, the support structure being configured to support an inner wall of the blood vessel in an open configuration in a region between the first and second impellers. Other applications are also described.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2016Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Magenta Medical Ltd.Inventors: Ehud Schwammenthal, Yosi Tuval, Daniel Glozman, Tom Shtendel, Gad Lubinsky
