摘要： A single-wire stylet may be constructed as an elongate single-wire, memory-metal alloy body with a generally cylindrical body profile, extending distally from a proximal end terminus, where embodiments include a polymeric distal tip member fixedly attached directly at a distal end of the single-wire body. At least one lengthwise portion of the single-wire body is at least partially in martensitic phase at operating temperatures at and below about 37° C. Where present, the polymeric distal tip member has a generally cylindrical body profile circumferentially bounded by an outer circumference substantially equal to or greater than that of the metal body. The polymeric distal tip member may be overmolded upon a distal-end tip length of an elongate single-wire, memory-metal alloy stylet body, where the distal end and/or discrete intermediate distal-portion length(s) that include martensitic-phase alloy and any polymeric member have greater flexibility than a proximal-most length of the alloy stylet body.

摘要： A vascular intervention device delivery system, such as for implanting a self expanding stent, includes a thumbwheel rotatably mounted in a handle. A catheter has a proximal end attached to the handle and a distal carrier segment for mounting a stent thereon. A retractable sheath is movable to a position retracted proximally to uncover the distal carrier segment. A pull with a curved cross section extends between the thumbwheel and the retractable sheath. An idler wheel with a perimeter notch is rotatably mounted in the handle proximal to the thumbwheel. A pin is movably in the handle between a first position received in the perimeter notch to block rotation of the idler wheel, and a second position outside of the perimeter notch to permit rotation of the idler wheel. The pull wraps around the idler wheel to return in a direction for being wound onto a spool of the thumbwheel.

摘要： A radiopaque composite wire for medical applications comprises a core comprising a rare earth metal, an outer layer comprising a nickel-titanium alloy disposed over the core, and a diffusion barrier comprising a barrier material between the core and the outer layer. A method of making a radiopaque composite wire includes cold drawing a composite billet through a die, where the composite billet includes a tube comprising a nickel-titanium alloy disposed about a rod comprising a rare earth metal, and a barrier layer comprising a barrier material disposed between the tube and the rod. After cold drawing, the composite billet is annealed to relieve strain. After multiple passes of the cold drawing and annealing, a radiopaque composite wire having a core comprising the rare earth metal, an outer layer comprising the nickel-titanium alloy, and a diffusion barrier comprising the barrier material between the core and the outer layer is formed.

摘要： A medical device such as a stent (10) or medical balloon (40) is functionalised prior to coating with a bioactive material (54), specifically by acidification or basification of the contact surface or surfaces (50) of the medical device. Functionalisation with subsequent coating of bioactive agent directly onto the functionalised surface provides a significantly more consistent and reliable coating of bioactive agent on a medical device without requiring containment or time release devices.

摘要： A method is provided for loading and delivering a self-expanding stent. The stent is compressed from its expanded diameter to a smaller delivery diameter. While compressed, the stent is pushed from the proximal end through the proximal end opening of a restraining sheath. The restraining sheath retains the stent in the delivery diameter. In order to deliver the stent, the proximal end of the stent is pushed and the restraining sheath is withdrawn proximally from the stent. As a result, the stent is released from the distal end opening of the restraining sheath.

摘要： A medical device such as a stent or medical balloon is functionalised prior to coating with a bioactive material, specifically by carboxylic acidification of the contact surface or surfaces of the medical device. The preferred process involves washing a stent or other medical device in a washing solution which may be sodium hydroxide, soaking in a carboxylic acid solution, rinsing in water to remove excess carboxylic acid, allowing to dry before applying a bioactive agent layer. It has been found that washing after functionalisation removes excess carboxylic acid and enhances the retention of bioactive agent on the contact surface or surfaces of the medical device leading to a more uniform and consistent layer of bioactive agent.

摘要： A method of modifying a surface of a medical device for implantation or disposition inside a patient is described. The medical device comprises a structure having at least one surface. The method includes the steps of: placing the medical device into a plasma chamber substantially free from contaminants and substantially sealing the plasma chamber from the atmosphere; removing at least an outermost layer of any oxide layer from the at least one surface of the structure by a plasma oxide-removal process, whilst maintaining the plasma chamber under seal from the atmosphere; and subsequently forming a new oxide layer at the least one surface of the structure by introducing at least one gas into the plasma chamber, whilst maintaining the plasma chamber under seal from the atmosphere. A medical device including a bulk material and an oxide layer disposed over at least one surface of the medical device. The oxide layer is substantially pure and free from contaminants.

摘要： A vascular intervention device delivery system includes a catheter with a proximal end attached to a handle, and a distal carrier segment for mounting a vascular intervention device thereon. A retractable sheath is movable from a first position covering the distal carrier segment to a second position retracted proximally uncovering the distal carrier segment. A pull is attached to the retractable sheath and extends proximally from the retractable sheath toward the handle. A majority of the length of the pull has a cross sectional shape with a concave side that faces the longitudinal axis and is opposite to a convex side that faces away from the longitudinal axis. The cross sectional shape has a width that is greater than a thickness.
