摘要:
An endoluminal prosthesis includes a support structure comprising a curvilinear portion having a first strut and a second strut that meet at an apex. Disposed on the support structure is an anchor (25) with an anchor body and one or more barbs (21) extending outwardly from the anchor body. The anchor body fits at least partially about, and conforms to the first strut, second strut, and the apex.

The present invention provides a removable vena cava filter for capturing thrombi in a blood vessel. The filter (10) comprises a plurality of primary struts (12) having first ends attached together along a longitudinal axis. Each primary strut has an arcuate segment extending from the first end to an anchoring hook (26). The primary struts are configured to move between an expanded state for engaging the anchoring hooks with the blood vessel and a collapsed state for filter retrieval or delivery. Each primary strut is configured to cross another primary strut along the longitudinal axis in the collapsed state such that the arcuate segments occupy a first diameter (D1) greater than a second diameter (D2) occupied by the anchoring hooks in the collapsed state for filter retrieval or delivery.

The present invention provides a removable vena cava filter (10) for capturing thrombi in a blood vessel. The filter comprises a plurality of primary struts (12) having first ends attached together along a longitudinal axis. Each primary strut includes an arcuate segment having a first tensile strength. The arcuate segment extends from the first end to an anchoring hook (26). The anchoring hook is integral with the arcuate segment and having the first thickness and first tensile strength. The filter further comprises a plurality of secondary struts (30) freely spaced between the primary struts and having connected ends attached together along the longitudinal axis. Each secondary strut freely extends from the connected end to a free end avoiding contact with other secondary struts and primary struts. Each secondary strut has a second tensile strength.
摘要:
A removable filter (10) having a collapsed state and an expanded state for capturing thrombi in a blood vessel is disclosed. The filter comprises a plurality of primary struts (12) and a plurality of secondary struts. Each primary strut in the expanded state extends from a primary strut first end to an anchoring hook (26). Each primary strut extends arcuately along a longitudinal axis and linearly radially. The plurality of primary strut first ends are attached together along the longitudinal axis (x). Each secondary strut in the expanded state extends from a secondary strut first end to a free end. Each secondary strut extends arcuately along the longitudinal axis and linearly radially. The plurality of secondary struts are attached together along the longitudinal axis. The plurality of secondary struts centralize the filter in the expanded state in the blood vessel.

The present invention involves a removable filter (10) for capturing thrombi in a blood vessel. The filter comprises a plurality of struts (12) having first ends attached together along a longitudinal axis (X) of the filter. Each strut has a body member (15) extending from the first end along the longitudinal axis to an anchoring hook (26) defining a strut axis (S). Each strut is configured to move along a strut path (P) relative to the longitudinal axis between an expanded state for engaging with the blood vessel and a collapsed state for filter delivery or retrieval. Each anchoring hook has an angle of up to about 90 degrees relative to the strut axis.

摘要:
An iris-type valve assembly for controlling a flow of fluid. The assembly comprises a base member, a rotatable member, and an elongated elastomeric valve sheath. The distal end of the valve sheath is secured to the base member and the proximal end of the valve sheath is secured to the rotatable member. At least one of the vale sheath ends includes a flange that is secured to a valve-receiving surface of the base member or the rotatable member. The base member and the rotatable member are aligned to define an elongated passageway therethrough for passage of an interventional device, and the elastomeric valve sheath is disposed along the passageway and has a longitudinal opening therethrough for passage of the interventional device. Upon rotation of the rotatable member relative to the base member the longitudinal opening of the valve sheath is selectively constrictable to comprise a seal around the interventional device. The assembly may be provided with ratcheting members to inhibit recoil of the rotatable member, and rib members along the inner surface of the valve sheath to enhance the seal provided by the assembly.
