Retrievable Ivc Filter

View page
US Patent:
7534251, May 19, 2009
Filed:
Feb 11, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/361983
Inventors:
Joel M. WasDyke - Eden Prairie MN, US
Assignee:
Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. - Maple Grove MN
International Classification:
A61M 29/00
US Classification:
606200
Abstract:
Retrievable vena cava filters for filtering blood clots within a vessel are disclosed. A retrievable vena cava filter in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a plurality of elongated filter legs each having a hook portion configured to engage the vessel wall, and an expandable member releasably connected to the filter. In certain embodiments, the expandable member may comprise a bendable member and several tubular members, or a coiled wire.

Intravascular Filter With Bioabsorbable Centering Element

View page
US Patent:
7575584, Aug 18, 2009
Filed:
Jun 15, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/153131
Inventors:
Joel M. WasDyke - Eden Prairie MN, US
Assignee:
Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. - Maple Grove MN
International Classification:
A61F 2/01
US Classification:
606200
Abstract:
Bioabsorbable centering elements for use in centering an implantable intravascular device within a body vessel are disclosed. The bioabsorbable centering element may include a number of support members configured to self-expand and engage the wall of the vessel when deployed. The support members may be formed from a biodegradable material adapted to degrade in vivo within a pre-determined period of time.

Methods And Apparatus For Emboli Removal

View page
US Patent:
7674238, Mar 9, 2010
Filed:
Dec 23, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/021381
Inventors:
Jan Weber - Maple Grove MN, US
Tracee E. J. Eidenschink - Wayzata MN, US
David J. Sogard - Edina MN, US
Joel M. WasDyke - Eden Prairie MN, US
Thomas J. Holman - Princeton MN, US
Assignee:
Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. - Maple Grove MN
International Classification:
A61M 29/00
US Classification:
604 8
Abstract:
Improved methods and apparatus for capturing emboli and subsequently removing or immobilizing the captured emboli are described. Emboli can be captured within a blood vessel and can be withdrawn to a position exterior to the blood vessel. Some filters can remain within a blood vessel yet direct emboli to a position exterior to the blood vessel.

Self-Centering Blood Clot Filter

View page
US Patent:
7896898, Mar 1, 2011
Filed:
Jul 30, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/630307
Inventors:
Joel M. WasDyke - Eden Prairie MN, US
Assignee:
Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. - Maple Grove MN
International Classification:
A61F 2/06
A61M 29/00
US Classification:
606200, 606191, 606198, 623 115
Abstract:
Blood clot filters having self-centering capabilities when placed in a blood vessel are disclosed. A blood clot device in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a number filter legs formed at least in part of a shape-memory material configured to transform from a centering configuration to a filtering when deployed in the body. An attachment section on the distal section of each filter leg is configured to pierce and secure the filter to the vessel wall at a first location. A bend region may be heat set into the shape-memory material to provide a second contact location along the vessel wall to aid in centering the filter within the vessel. The bend region can be formed by heating the shape-memory material above its final austenite temperature (A), and then shaping the filter leg to form a pad that abuts the vessel wall during deployment.

Retrievable Vena Cava Filter

View page
US Patent:
7959645, Jun 14, 2011
Filed:
Nov 3, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/980579
Inventors:
Joel M. WasDyke - Eden Prairie MN, US
Jay Rassat - Buffalo MN, US
Assignee:
Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. - Maple Grove MN
International Classification:
A61F 2/01
US Classification:
606200
Abstract:
A filter device positionable within a blood vessel for trapping emboli in the vessel, the filter device having a head and a plurality of divergent legs each secured at a first end to the head; each leg having one or more hooks at a second end. The hooks can include an expandable and contractible sleeve or hook that provides securing means for the legs and which also allows for easy removal of the filter device.

Staged Release Of Ivc Filter Legs

View page
US Patent:
8080033, Dec 20, 2011
Filed:
Jun 24, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/490761
Inventors:
Joel M. WasDyke - Eden Prairie MN, US
Assignee:
Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. - Maple Grove MN
International Classification:
A61M 29/00
US Classification:
606200
Abstract:
A catheter for stage-delivering a vena cava filter within a body lumen is disclosed. The catheter may comprise an elongated tubular member having a proximal section, a distal section, and an inner lumen configured to receive an intravascular filter. One or more notches or slits radially disposed about the distal end of the catheter may be utilized to stage-deploy the filter within the body. Several grooves or indentations disposed along an inner surface of the catheter may also be employed.

Intravascular Filter With Drug Reservoir

US Patent:
8574259, Nov 5, 2013
Filed:
May 10, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/125531

A61M 29/00
US Classification:
606200
Abstract:
An intravascular filter can capture and eliminate emboli. In particular, an intravascular filter may include a plurality of filter legs extending from an apical head. The filter legs may be configured to capture emboli. A drug reservoir that includes or contains a therapeutic drug can be disposed near the apical head. The therapeutic drug, such as a thrombolytic or anti-coagulatory drug, may be eluted in response to a captured emboli.
