    摘要: A stent crimping tool for firmly and uniformly crimping a stent onto a balloon catheter is constructed from a crimping section holding the stent and the balloon catheter therein, wherein the crimping is actuated by a shaft having an input end and an output end, engaging the crimping section at the output end. The shaft has a detent formed into the input end. A gripping member has an internal cavity to receive the input end, and includes a hole proximate to the shaft, wherein a ball bearing and a compression spring are located within the hole to bias the ball bearing toward the shaft and to engage the detent. When a torque is applied to the gripping member, it is transmitted through the ball bearing to the shaft; if the torque exceeds a predetermined magnitude, it overcomes the force of the spring on the ball bearing causing the bearing to slide out of the detent thereby disconnecting the applied torque from the shaft. The crimping section can be a rubber tube having a lumen holding the stent and catheter. When the shaft compresses the rubber tube as it advances, the lumen collapses and crimps the stent onto the catheter. In another embodiment, the crimping section is a coiled filament suspended at both ends and having an axial space holding the stent and catheter. Rotating the shaft twists the filament which in turn constricts and crimps the stent onto the catheter.

    摘要: The various embodiments simplify the delivery of an occlusive implant to a hollow anatomical structure, such as a fallopian tube. For example, the delivery devices don't need to be retracted manually to deploy the implant. When the devices are activated, stored energy or a powered drive member induces movement of the various components. The operator need only position the distal ends of the devices at the treatment site and then commence deployment by, for example, flipping a switch or changing the position of an activation button. The present embodiments thus increase the efficacy of occlusion procedures by reducing the likelihood of operator error.

    摘要: A device having multiple chambers may be configured to expand to contact a substantial section of an interior wall of a body structure or lumen in order to simultaneously exclude blood or other liquid from a target structure while providing for delivery of a therapeutic agent directly to the interior wall. The expandable device may be manufactured from a plurality of flat sheets of material heat sealed to one another to form an inflation chamber and one, two or more delivery chambers. The sheets may also be bonded to an elongate catheter body having inflation and delivery lumens. The excluding of blood flow and delivery of therapeutic agents are completed by the same device.
