Abstract: The present invention is a stent delivery system including a catheter, wherein the catheter includes an inflatable region. An expandable stent is disposed about at least a portion of the inflatable region. A first end of the at least one stent retaining sleeve covers an end of the stent prior to the stent being expanded for delivery. A second end of the at least one sleeve is engaged to at least a portion of the catheter adjacent to the inflatable region. The at least one stent retaining sleeve is constructed and arranged to longitudinally foreshorten from a first predetermined length to a second predetermined length when the stent is expanded for delivery. The second predetermined length being more than 5 percent shorter than the first predetermined length. When the stent is expanded for delivery, the at least one stent retaining sleeve is retracted off of the stent thereby releasing the stent from the catheter.

Abstract: A semiconductor wafer has a plurality of holes therein which correspond to pins of an electrical connector. The wafer includes circuitry thereon and contacts for making electrical connection to the pins. In such manner, the circuitry on the wafer can be used for a wide variety of purposes such as testing or modifying signals carried by the pins. The wafer can be installed in any common electrical connector pair without prior modification or preparation of the connectors and without impairing the normal fit or function of the mated connector pair.

Abstract: A catheter is disclosed providing a balloon catheter having a distal tip that is flexible while additionally incorporating high column strength. The present invention additionally provides a distal tip region that accommodates for various sized guidewires. In preferred embodiments, the distal tip region is initially configured for accommodating the passage of 0.12-inch guidewires only. Through specific manufacturing processes, however, the distal tip is modified so that it also may be expanded to accommodate the passage of 0.14-inch guidewires. In additional preferred embodiments, an elastomeric sleeve is disposed over the modified distal tip to allow the tip to return to the initial 0.12-inch accommodating profile when the larger 0.14-inch guidewire is withdrawn from the catheter.
