| 8092509 | Implant delivery device Disclosed is a system for delivering self-expanding stents to stenting sites within the body, which minimizes trauma to the affected tissue of the patient yet, at the same time, offers the medical practitioner a robust and simple system for stent placement. These te... | 01/10/2012 |
| 8075606 | Delivery system having a rapid pusher assembly for self-expanding stent, and stent exchange configuration A pusher assembly for a delivery system for a self-expanding stent (6) which is delivered by proximal withdrawal of a sheath (4) radially surrounding the stent has a stent pusher element (8) which defines a lumen for a guidewire (2), a pu... | 12/13/2011 |
| 8062344 | Variable speed self-expanding stent delivery system and luer locking connector A stent delivery system that includes an inner member and an outer retractable sheath is operated by a handle that permits retraction of the sheath at more than one speed. The sheath may be retracted in small, incremental steps or in a single, more rapid stroke. The... | 11/22/2011 |
| 8043364 | Implant with attached element and method of making such an implant A tubular implant having an axial end to which is attached a ring of spoons of a material different from that of the implant. In another aspect, the invention provides a method of attaching elements to an axial end of a tubular implant comprising the steps of provid... | 10/25/2011 |
| 8025692 | Stent delivery system A stent delivery catheter for rapid exchange carries at its distal end a sleeve (12) to surround a self-expanding stent (10) and a tension wire (30) running the length of the catheter to release the stent by proximal withdrawal of the sleeve. A ... | 09/27/2011 |
| D598543 | Handle for a medical delivery device | 08/18/2009 |
| 7462190 | Stent matrix To improve radiopacity in a stent, and to reduce trauma while improving stent anchoring, imported beads are mounted To stent precursor matrices. Specially attractive is to provide a ring of such beads on the end rings of stent structures featuring a cylindrical mid ... | 12/09/2008 |
| 6933379 | Method for linking nucleic acids and/or glycosaminoglycans to polar/hydrophilic materials The invention relates to a method for linking nucleic acid and/or glycosaminoglycan or glycosaminoglycan mimetics to a polar/hydrophilic material, characterized by contacting a nucleic acid and/or glycosaminoglycan and a polar/hydrophilic material with each other in... | 08/23/2005 |
| 6712846 | Polymer-coated stents, processes for producing the same and their use for restenosis prevention The invention relates to polymer-coated stents, processes for their production and their use for restenosis prevention. ... | 03/30/2004 |
| 6572647 | Method of making a stent A laser cut stent for transluminal delivery has windows in its cylindrical wall, the windows giving the stent enhanced flexibility during delivery along said lumen. A method of making such a stent involves removing from the wall of a tube enough material ... | 06/03/2003 |
| 6517547 | Stent delivery system The present invention relates to a stent delivery system comprising a catheter tube defining for a self-expanding stent a bed having a length direction in line with the catheter length, a radially outward facing stent-receiving surface, a distal end at or... | 02/11/2003 |
| 6180769 | Method for linking negatively charged macrobiomolecules to plastics, resulting linked compositions and microtitre plates incorporating same A method for linking strongly negatively charged biological macromolecules like deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA) and glycosaminoglycans (GAG) to plastic substrates, comprising contacting the macromolecules and the plastics with a non ch... | 01/30/2001 |
| 6053941 | Stent with an end of greater diameter than its main body For the better anchoring of a stent in its use area within a vessel, in the case of a stent expandable from a radially contracted introduction state into a radially expanded position state and having a body with material areas in the form of ribs and gaps... | 04/25/2000 |
| 5716393 | Stent with an end of greater diameter than its main body For the better anchoring of a stent in its use area within a vessel, in the case of a stent expandable from a radially contracted introduction state into a radially expanded position state, in the radially expanded state at least one front end of the sten... | 02/10/1998 |
