Filed:
Feb 8, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/072825
Inventors:
Ivan Sepetka - Los Altos CA, US
Son Gia - San Jose CA, US
Maria Aboytes - East Palo Alto CA, US
Ryan Pierce - Mountain View CA, US

Christopher Ken - San Mateo CA, US
Assignee:
Concentric Medical, Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
A61B017/00
US Classification:
606108, 606151
Abstract:
A device for delivering an occlusion element, or other medical device, which includes a fluid dissolvable bond. The occlusion element is coupled to the delivery element with the fluid dissolvable bond. The bond may be dissolved by delivering a fluid through the delivery element either through the delivery element itself or through a tube positioned in the delivery element.

Devices, Methods And Systems For Collecting Material From A Breast Duct

US Patent:
2002000, Jan 3, 2002
Filed:
Jul 19, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/907581
Inventors:
David Hung - Belmont CA, US
Christopher Ken - San Mateo CA, US
Xuanmin He - Palo Alto CA, US
Phillip Olsen - Mountain View CA, US
Julian Nikolchev - Portola Valley CA, US
Shawn O'Leary - San Jose CA, US
Pam Sayavong - Newark CA, US
International Classification:
A61B005/00
US Classification:
600/573000
Abstract:
The invention provides methods, devices and systems for collecting breast ductal fluid comprising cellular material and other useful markers for analysis. The methods typically comprise access of at least one breast duct and collecting materials from that duct separate from all other ducts in the breast. The devices comprise ductal access devices that provide the opportunity to collect fluid from a single duct separate from all the other ducts in the breast. The systems employ the methods and devices that used together provide systems for analysis of a breast condition in a patient specific to accessed breast ducts. The methods, devices and systems are particularly useful for indentification of breast precancer or cancer in patient.

Methods And Systems For Treating Breast Tissue

US Patent:
2002013, Sep 19, 2002
Filed:
May 15, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/144853
Inventors:
David Hung - Belmont CA, US
Christopher Ken - San Mateo CA, US
Julian Nikolchev - Portolo Valley CA, US
Susan Love - Pacific Palisades CA, US
Shawn O'Leary - Mission Viejo CA, US
Assignee:
Pro Duct Health, Inc. - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
A61B018/18
US Classification:
606/041000
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and kits for treating breast tissue rely on transferring energy to or from cells lining an individual breast duct. Energy can be introduced into the breast duct, e.g., by filling the duct with an electrically conductive medium and applying radiofrequency energy to the medium. Other energy forms could also be used, such as light, ultrasound, radiation, microwave energy, heat, cold, direct current, and the like. By treating individual breast ducts, cancerous and pre-cancerous conditions originating in the duct can be effectively treated.

Single Lumen Balloon Catheter

US Patent:
2002017, Nov 28, 2002
Filed:
May 25, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/865998
Inventors:
Ivan Sepetka - Los Altos CA, US
Maureen Bensing - Sunnyvale CA, US
Diana Sanchez - Santa Clara CA, US
Richard Helkowski - Redwood City CA, US
Christopher Ken - San Mateo CA, US
Mark Deem - Mountain View CA, US
Maria Aboytes - East Palo Alto CA, US
Hanson Gifford - Woodside CA, US
International Classification:
A61M029/00
US Classification:
606/194000, 604/099040
Abstract:
This invention is a surgical device. In particular, it is a low profile, single lumen catheter preferably having a movable seal or seat that allows the balloon to be inflated by sealing against the movable guidewire or against itself. An additional variation of the invention includes a non-removable guidewire situated in the catheter body in such a way to provide or add stiffness to the otherwise flexible distal section of the catheter during a procedure. An enhanced strain relief transition joint between significantly stiffer proximal section and the more flexible distal section is provided. Finally, methods of using the inventive balloon catheter are also shown.
