Patent number: 11134950Abstract: A method of attaching an implant to a vessel can include clamping a portion of a wall of a vessel within a patient. The method can also include positioning an implant adjacent to an outer surface of the wall of the vessel, and the implant can include an access port. The method can also include cutting the wall of the vessel about the portion of the wall that has been clamped, passing the portion of the wall that has been clamped and that has been cut about through the implant to remove the portion of the wall from the patient and to provide an opening in the vessel, and securing the implant to the vessel such that the access port is in direct fluid communication with an interior of the vessel via the opening in the vessel.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Advent Access Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Duane D. Blatter, Trent J. Perry, Nathaniel P. Young, Jeffrey E. Ransden

Patent number: 10569027Abstract: An epidural needle assembly including an epidural needle assembly and an injection needle assembly. The injection needle assembly is slidably mounted on the needle of the epidural needle assembly between extended and retracted positions. The injection needle assembly includes an injection hub having an injection needle secured thereto which extends forwardly therefrom. When the injection needle assembly is in its retracted position, the forward end of the injection needle is positioned rearwardly of the forward end of the epidural needle. When the injection needle assembly is in its extended position, the forward end of the injection needle is positioned forwardly of the forward end of the epidural needle. When in its extended position, the injection needle is able to create a hole in the skin of a person or animal to permit the epidural needle to be inserted therein.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2016Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Inventors: Gayle Misle, Ryan C. Patterson, Trent J. Perry

Patent number: 9968726Abstract: A method of securing an access port to a vessel can include positioning an access port adjacent to a wall of the vessel. The access port can include an implantation passageway and a guidance passageway that is connected to the implantation passageway. The implantation passageway can be open, during the positioning of the access port, at a position proximal to a location at which the implantation passageway and the guidance passageway are connected. The method can further include forming an opening in the wall of the vessel via instruments that extend through the implantation passageway. The method can include securing the access port to the vessel such that the implantation passageway is in fluid communication with an interior of the vessel via the opening in the wall of the vessel. The method can also include sealing the implantation passageway at the position proximal to the guidance passageway.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: DF Vital Holdings, LLCInventors: Christopher M.
