  • Patent number: 11918821
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods that may include a connector port subassembly. The connector port subassembly may include one or more connector blocks configured to interference fit within a connector bore, one or more windows through the core subassembly to the one or more connector blocks, and one or more seal rings configured to interference fit within the connector bore and eliminate adulterant entry into the connector bore through the one or more windows.

  • Publication number: 20230355302
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to devices, systems, and methods for ablating and occluding a body lumen or cavity, including those implementations for occluding the left atrial appendage of the heart. An example assembly includes a connector assembly having a connector assembly proximal end and a connector assembly distal end, the connector assembly proximal and distal ends being opposite ends of the connector assembly; and an expandable frame that is detachably disposed at the connector assembly distal end, the expandable frame having a plurality of deployment positions that includes a first deployed position in which the expandable frame is in a focal arrangement and a second deployed position in which the expandable frame is in a wide area arrangement; and where the connector assembly is operatively connected to the expandable frame and configured to facilitate moving the expandable frame between the plurality of deployment positions.

  • Publication number: 20220062648
    Abstract: Systems and methods to couple electrical contacts of a header of a medical device to respective feedthrough pins of a connector block of a medical device housing using a preformed wire are disclosed. The preformed wire can include a proximate portion comprising a number of turns shaped to engage a feedthrough pin. The number of turns of the preformed wire, once engaged with the feedthrough pin, can physically separate a major portion of the preformed wire from the connector block and the housing. The major portion of the preformed wire can be shaped to route a distal portion of the preformed wire to a first electrical contact of the header when the proximate portion of the preformed wire engages the feedthrough pin.
