    摘要: An aortic stent graft includes a stent with a framework attached to a fabric tube by a plurality of suture ties. The fabric tube includes a plurality of discrete attachment areas that are at least partially surrounded by at least one permeable graft area. The fabric tube is one of a weave and a knit of thermoplastic yarn. Each of the suture ties associated with the discrete attachment areas at least one of penetrates through and encircles a respective one of the discrete attachment areas. The weave or knit of the discrete attachment areas is identical to that of the permeable graft area with an exception that a wall thickness of each of the discrete attachment areas is flattened relative to, and thinner than, a wall thickness of the permeable graft area.

    摘要: A line puller assembly for an endo-luminal delivery device is disclosed. The assembly comprises: a line puller body having a proximal end and a distal end; a line puller actuator assembly mounted to the line puller body for rotation about the line puller body, the actuator assembly including a line deflector ring, the ring including a first deflector line guide; a line anchor location on the line puller body; a first body line guide on the body, the line anchor location and the first body line guide positioned on opposite sides of the ring; and a line having an end portion anchored at the line anchor location on the line puller body, the line extending through the first line deflector ring, whereby a line path extends from the anchor location, through the first deflector line guide and past the first body line guide, the line path having a variable length.

    摘要: There are disclosed implantable medical devices and apparatus for treating implantable medical devices during production, so as to cause the implantable medical devices to have abluminal surfaces and luminal surfaces with different functional characteristics and in particular surface energies. The luminal surfaces of the medical device are preferably coated with carbon, so as to have a low surface energy, which reduces the risk of thrombi forming when implanted into a patient's vessels. The abluminal surfaces are treated so as to have a high surface energy, such that a therapeutic, preferably bioactive, material, such as a drug, can adhere to the abluminal surfaces and preferably without any need for a containment layer such as polymer or other matrix material. Once the therapeutic material has been delivered into the tissue wall, the stent can remain within the patient's vessel without leaving any delivery artefacts, as occurs with some prior art drug eluting medical devices.

    摘要: A tissue-collection stylet is configured with inward-facing barbs, for use in a needle, and particularly configured to capture intact tissue cores suitable for histological analysis. The stylet may be provided together with a needle as part of a biopsy system in which the stylet remains at least partially or fully within a lumen of the needle during collection of tissue samples and/or other samples.

    摘要: A gripper for gripping a tube for punching may include a first arm having a lower portion and an upper portion disposed outwardly from an upper surface of the lower portion. The upper portion extends to opposite first and second side surfaces and opposite third and fourth side surfaces, where opposite edges of the first and second side surfaces each meet an edge of one of the opposite third and fourth side surfaces. The second side surface includes a groove extending from the second side surface towards the first side surface and along a length of the second side surface. The groove is configured to receive at least a portion of a tube when a second arm like the first arm is disposed adjacent to and aligned with the first arm.

    摘要: The disclosure is directed to a system for maintaining hemostasis during introducing or withdrawing an interventional device. The system includes a housing. The housing includes a first end, a second end and a side wall defining a housing chamber. The system also includes a first funnel-shaped member disposed at least partially within the housing chamber. The first funnel-shaped member includes an inner portion, a middle portion and an outer portion. The inner portion of the first funnel-shaped member includes an elastic orifice, which is aligned with the through channel of the housing. The first funnel-shaped member includes an open configuration and a closed configuration. When the first funnel-shaped member is in the closed configuration, the elastic orifice is substantially closed, and when the first funnel-shaped member is in the open configuration, an interventional device is introduced through the system and the elastic orifice is open.
