  • Patent number: 11399969
    Abstract: A stent delivery system includes a handle and an elongate catheter extending from the handle. The elongate catheter includes an inner member, an outer member mounted about the inner member and adapted for longitudinal movement relative to the inner member from an extended position to a retracted position and a stent mounted about the inner member. The stent delivery system also includes a thumbwheel mounted to the handle. The thumbwheel is adapted for rotational movement to cause corresponding movement of the outer member from the extended position to the retracted position. In some examples, the stent delivery system may include a lock member adapted to engage at least one of the outer member and the thumbwheel to prevent movement thereof when the lock member is secured relative to the handle.

  • Patent number: 10016292
    Abstract: A stent delivery system includes a handle and an elongate catheter extending from the handle, and defining a leading end and a trailing end, and having a longitudinal axis. The elongate catheter includes an inner member, an outer member mounted about the inner member and adapted for longitudinal movement relative to the inner member from an extended position to a retracted position and a stent mounted about the inner member. The stent delivery system also includes a thumbwheel mounted to the handle and operatively connected to the outer member, and a lock member releasably mountable to the handle. The thumbwheel is adapted for rotational movement to cause corresponding movement of the outer member from the extended position to the retracted position.

  • Publication number: 20080234628
    Abstract: An electrotransport device for delivering a therapeutic agent through a body surface of a patient. The device has an electronic module that can be coupled with a reservoir module to form the electrotransport device. The reservoir module has a reservoir that contains the therapeutic agent for delivery through the body surface by electrotransport. The reservoir module also has a cutout forming a channel having a narrow channel portion and a less narrow channel portion with channel walls. The electronic module has circuitry for electrically driving the therapeutic agent for electrotransport and having a body with a narrow portion and a less narrow portion corresponding to the narrow channel portion and the less narrow channel portion. The narrow portion of the electronic module can be guided into the narrow channel portion through the less narrow channel portion of the reservoir module.

  • Publication number: 20080234627
    Abstract: An electrotransport device for delivering a therapeutic agent through a body surface of a patient. The device has an electronic module that can be coupled with an agent module to form the electrotransport device. The agent module has a compartment containing the therapeutic agent for delivery through the body surface by electrotransport. The agent module has a first end, and includes first agent module (AM) coupler about the first end. The electronic module has a first end and a second end corresponding to the first end and second end of the agent module. The electronic module has a first electronic module (EM) coupler about the first end of the electronic module for coupling with the first AM coupler such that as the first AM coupler matingly engages with the first EM coupler the electronic module and the agent module can be pressed together pivoting about where the first AM coupler engages the first EM coupler.
