Patent number: 10820895Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for fastening or clamping tissue to tissue or non-tissue layers and for occluding tubular body structures. Tissue fasteners having separate proximal and distal implants, each with self-expanding, radially extending legs are connected together on opposite sides of tissue and non-tissue layers. The legs of the proximal and distal implants are interdigitated in the absence of such layers.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: AMSEL MEDICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Arnold Miller, Raanan Miller, Nir Lilach, William Edelman

Publication number: 20200289100Abstract: Apparatus and methods for occluding hollow body structures, such as blood vessels, and for attaching tissue layers and/or non-tissue layers together by providing implantable elements on opposite sides of the structure or layers and drawing the implants together to occlude the body structure and/or bring the layers together. The implants are deliverable in a low-profile configuration and self-expand to an enlarged configuration. The implantable elements are delivered by transfixing the body structure, then releasing the implants on opposite sides of the body structure and drawing the implants together to effect an occlusion or attachment. The implants are configured to apply oppositely directed forces to opposite surfaces of the tissue layers at alternate, circumferentially spaced locations and may constrain the tissue in a serpentine pattern or in a direct clamping pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2020Publication date: September 17, 2020Inventors: Arnold Miller, Raanan Miller, Nir Lilach, William Edelman

Patent number: 10765500Abstract: The present invention relates to medical prostheses and methods of manufacturing those devices. In particular, the prostheses are temporarily stiffened meshes with particular coatings to provide initial stiffness and thereby permit easier surgical handling for treatment or reconstruction of soft tissue defects. Preferred embodiments include surgical meshes coated with one or more biodegradable polymers that can act as a stiffening agent by coating the filaments or fibers of the mesh to temporarily immobilize the contact points of those filaments or fibers and/or by increasing the stiffness of the mesh by at least 1.1 times its original stiffness. The devices of the invention can also provide relief from various post-operative complications associated with their implantation, insertion or surgical use.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: MEDTRONIC, INC.Inventors: Fatima Buevich, Frank Do, William McJames, Satish Pulapura, William Edelman, Arikha Moses, Mason Diamond, Shari Timothy

Publication number: 20200060602Abstract: The invention generally relates to motion analysis systems and methods of use thereof. In certain aspects, the system includes an image capture device, at least one accelerometer, and a central processing unit (CPU) with storage coupled thereto for storing instructions that when executed by the CPU cause the CPU to receive a first set of motion data from the image capture device related to at least one joint of a subject while the subject is performing a task and receive a second set of motion data from the accelerometer related to the at least one joint of the subject while the subject is performing the task. The CPU also calculates kinematic and/or kinetic information about the at least one joint of a subject from a combination of the first and second sets of motion data, and outputs the kinematic and/or kinetic information for purposes of assessing a movement disorder.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2019Publication date: February 27, 2020Inventors: Timothy Andrew Wagner, Laura Dipietro, William Edelman, Seth Elkin-Frankston
