  • Patent number: 8398699
    Abstract: A stent system includes a stent and a drawstring for removal of the stent. The drawstring includes an end string, a longitudinal string and a circumferential string. The end string is formed in an end of the stent body in an annular shape in such a way that the end string passes, in a zigzag manner, through mesh arranged in a circumferential direction of the stent body. A hook loop is formed by tying opposite ends of the end string to each other. The longitudinal string extends at a first end thereof from the end string in the longitudinal direction of the stent body. The circumferential string extends from a second end of the longitudinal string and is formed in an annular shape in such a way that the circumferential string passes, in a zigzag manner, through mesh arranged in the circumferential direction of the stent body.

  • Patent number: 8323229
    Abstract: A balloon type stent system for treatment of obesity is disclosed. An injection expansion unit and a plurality of distribution expansion units extend in a longitudinal direction of a stent unit body formed by coupling two sheets of synthetic vinyl in the shape of a cylinder. The injection expansion unit has an expansion agent injection port, and the distribution expansion units each have a distribution injection port communicating with a distribution channel. Connection ends are partially cut in the longitudinal direction such that the expansion units are divided into an integrated expansion unit and a separated expansion unit. The injection expansion unit and the distribution expansion units constituting the separated expansion unit are bent outward to form a balloon type stent unit. A tube has a length corresponding to a lumen length of the duodenum, and the tube is connected to the stent unit body by a connection wire.

  • Publication number: 20110056500
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a balloon catheter for the respiratory tract, which serves to widen the lumen of the respiratory tract when stricture or stenosis of the lumen occurs and is configured to enable a patient to breathe even during catheterization. The catheter includes a tube unit having a double structure consisting of an inner tube and an outer tube spaced apart from the inner tube to surround the inner tube, and a cylindrical balloon integrally connected to facing distal ends of the inner and outer tubes. The balloon is inflated to have a hollow cylindrical shape as inflation gas is supplied into the outer tube, thereby acting to widen the stenosed or narrowed lumen of the respiratory tract, and simultaneously, oxygen is supplied into the inner tube to pass through the cylindrical balloon, thereby enabling a patient to breathe and resulting in stability in catheterization.
