Vincent P. Hackenmueller has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11541245
    Abstract: Delivery devices, systems, and methods for delivering implantable leadless pacing devices are disclosed. An example delivery device may include an intermediate tubular member and an inner tubular member slidably disposed within a lumen of the intermediate tubular member. A distal holding section may extend distally of a distal end of the intermediate tubular member and define a cavity therein for receiving an implantable leadless pacing device. The device may be configured to enable fluid flushing of the delivery device prior to use, to remove any air from within the device as well as providing the option of fluid flow during use of the delivery device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 10, 2020
    Date of Patent: January 3, 2023

  • Patent number: 10722684
    Abstract: Catheter and implantable leadless pacing devices, systems, and methods utilizing catheters and implantable leadless pacing devices are disclosed. An example catheter system may include a holding structure extending distally from a tubular member. An implantable device, such as a leadless pacing device, may be located within a cavity of the holding structure. The holding structure may include one or more electrical ports adjacent the proximal end of the holding structure and adjacent or proximal of the proximal end of the implantable device. The electrical ports may provide a conductive pathway extending through the distal structure to allow electrical signals to pass through the distal structure to and/or from the implantable device.

  • Publication number: 20070286696
    Abstract: The tie down system for recreational vehicles is designed for securing a recreational vehicle to a support surface, such as a standard hitched trailer or the like. The system includes a horizontal base, at least one support bar extending upward therefrom, and at least one clamping member. The horizontal base is adapted for connecting the tie down system to the support surface. The one or more support bars are provided for engaging the recreational vehicle and each clamping member is operatively engageable with one of the support bars and is operable between an unlocked position and a locked position for securing the recreational vehicle to the support surface. A control rod linkage to a rear hitch tie down may also be provided in the system.
