Us Patents

Tuned Strength Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Treatment

US Patent:
2019033, Nov 7, 2019
Filed:
Jun 27, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/454845
Inventors:
- Santa Clara CA, US
Verna Rodriguez - Santa Cruz CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/12
A61B 5/08
Abstract:
The present invention generally provides improved medical devices, systems, and methods, particularly for treating one or both lungs of a patient with an implant, such as a coil, having a strength tuned to a patient's tissue treatment region. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention include implant assemblies and systems for treating a lung of a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The implant assemblies may comprise an elongate body comprising an alloy that may be characterized by its austenite final tuning. The implant may include multiple portions that may be of different austenite final tunings.

Guidewire

US Patent:
2018009, Apr 5, 2018
Filed:
Sep 29, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/719792
Inventors:
- Santa Clara CA, US
Mark Mathis - Fremont CA, US
Verna Rodriguez - Santa Cruz CA, US
Scott Kaarto - Santa Clara CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/12
A61M 25/09
Abstract:
Guidewires suitable for use in a system for implanting a lung volume reduction device are disclosed. The guidewire includes an outer sheath having proximal and distal ends, and comprising a proximal section, a transition section, and a distal section. The proximal section extends from the proximal end of the sheath to the transition section, and the distal section extends from the transition section to the distal end of the sheath. The distal section defines a bore extending from the transition section to the distal end of the sheath and an inner core having proximal and distal ends. The inner core extends through the bore of the distal section of the sheath, wherein the inner core is fixed to the sheath at the transition section, and wherein the distal end of the inner core is fixed to the distal end of the sheath at the distal end of the sheath.

Containers For Medical Devices

US Patent:
2018009, Apr 5, 2018
Filed:
Sep 29, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/719751
Inventors:
- Santa Clara CA, US
Jeffrey W. Etter - Hayward CA, US
Mark L. Mathis - Fremont CA, US
Verna Rodriguez - Santa Cruz CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 50/30
A61B 17/12
B65D 8/02
B65D 85/04
Abstract:
A container for a medical device having a housing defining a cavity for receiving a device, such as a lung volume reduction coil, is disclosed. In some embodiments, the container includes a coupling zone external to the cavity, an exit aperture between the cavity and the coupling zone, and a bearing surface located within the cavity, the bearing surface, exit aperture and coupling zone defining an exit path along which the device can be moved for deployment from the container. The bearing surface is spaced from the exit aperture and arranged, together with the coupling zone, such that the exit path is substantially straight. In some embodiments, the cavity may be approximately cylindrical, and the bearing surface, the exit aperture, and the coupling zone are aligned such that the exit path extends in a direction that is substantially tangential to the cavity.

Coordinated Delivery Of Copd Treatment

US Patent:
2017015, Jun 8, 2017
Filed:
Feb 14, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/432853
Inventors:
- Santa Clara CA, US
Mark L. Mathis - Fremont CA, US
Verna Rodriguez - Santa Cruz CA, US
Jeffrey Etter - Fremont CA, US
Kevin Mitz - Campbell CA, US
Christoph Steven - Marl, DE
Assignee:
PneumRx, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
A61B 17/12
A61B 90/98
A61B 17/128
A61B 90/96
Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices are disclosed for the efficient and coordinated delivery of COPD treatment to the lung(s) of a patient. A lung volume reduction system is disclosed comprising an implantable device adapted to be delivered to an airway of a patient in a constrained configuration and to change to a tissue-compressing configuration when deployed at a target zone to provide treatment to the lung airway. The invention further discloses a method of quickly and efficiently deploying the device using a single coordinated motion or signal which may be particularly useful when multiple devices are deployed at multiple target zones.
