    摘要: A deflectable component for a motorized vehicle can include a deflectable part formed at least partially from a superelastic and or shape memory material, wherein at least a portion of the deflectable component is moved to a deflected position upon application of a threshold force when moving at or above a predetermined speed, and returning to an undeflected position when moving below the predetermined speed. The deflectable component may comprise a connection link fabricated at least partially from a superelastic and/or shape memory material to tailor the flex point characteristics of a connected surface to a desired response. The deflectable component may improve the performance of motorized vehicles by improving the aerodynamic and fuel efficiency, as well as other beneficial effects.

    摘要: Systems and methods for delivering a medical device to a vessel within a mammalian body are provided. The medical device may have a tubular body with an interior and an exterior surface. A delivery device may include a balloon assembly having one or more balloons, with a proximal and portion with the medical device mounted thereon. When the balloon assembly is partially inflated the proximal portion has a larger diameter than the distal portion which may be inserted into the vessel. The proximal portion may have a sufficiently large diameter that prevents it from being inserted into the vessel and permits it to function as a stop. The balloon assembly may be further inflated to deploy the medical device within the vessel. The medical device diameter may expand and optionally contact the interior surface of the vessel when deployed. Alternatively, the invention may be configured to dilate tissue, without deploying a medical device.

    摘要: An arterial closure system includes an arterial closure device (“ACD”) and a deployment tool. The arterial closure device includes a first member forming an enlargement around the circumference of the arterial closure device and being configured to be received against an outer surface of a vessel, a connecting member having a smaller outer diameter than the first member, extending from the first member, and being configured to be positioned within an arteriotomy of a vessel, and a longitudinal channel configured to receive a tube and passing between the first member and the connecting member. The deployment tool includes a handle, a contacting section, and an extension that extends between the handle and the contacting section. The contacting section is designed to mate with the arterial closure device to advance the arterial closure device over the tube and deploy the arterial closure device within the vessel.

    摘要: The invention relates to applying a patch to a tissue surface within a mammalian body that includes retaining the patch to a deployment device, advancing the deployment device to the tissue surface, pressing the patch against the tissue surface, and manipulating the deployment device to separate the deployment device from the patch and leave the patch against the tissue surface. The patch includes at least one layer of a biocompatible polymer, at least one layer of a biocompatible superelastic/shape memory material, and at least one layer of a biocompatible adherent material. The deployment device includes a handle section and a deployment section, and the deployment section is configured to retain the patch for delivery of the patch to the tissue surface. The patch may include one or more arms, a base, and barbs extending from the arms, and advancing the deployment device to the tissue surface may include advancing the deployment device to the tissue surface of the heart for treatment of, for example, congestive heart failure.

    摘要: Described are shoes, orthodic appliances, and anatomic braces containing superelastic support members for enhanced performance. The superelastic supports provide dynamic response to deflection. As such, the superelastic supports incorporated in the soles of shoes enhance walking, running, jumping, kicking, or other motion involving the foot. The superelastic supports may be incorporated in the body of shoes to reinforce the ankle joint. The embodiments of the invention also provide superelastic supports in braces to reinforce or stabilize the knees, ankles, elbows, wrists, shoulders, back, neck, hips, or other anatomy commonly associated with a degree of twisting, rotation, bending, or other desired motion. The braces also intensify the motion of anatomic structures, apply a specific resistance at the joint to strengthen the muscles during training or rehabilitation, and/or immobilize or stabilize joints, bones, or other anatomic structures during healing of an injury.

    摘要: A system and components for treating aortic aneurysms includes a reinforcing graft and fittings for securing the graft to a host vessel and to branch vessels, for example the iliac and renal arteries. Combinations of fittings and rings or other compression mechanisms secure vessels or grafts frictionally, for end-end or end-side couplings. A variety of tools are disclosed for manipulating retaining rings, everting portions of grafts or vessels in the course of coupling them to fittings, and clamping fittings while positioning the retaining rings.

    摘要: A catheter supporting a tip electrode for percutaneous insertion into a living body having a steering mechanism that includes an elongated body bendable in response to external forces to steer the tip electrode. An axially movable stiffening member, preferably in the form of a sleeve or rod provides a variable resistance to bending of the body in response to an applied bending force. A control stylet or sleeve extends through the catheter and is attached to the stiffening member for moving the stiffening member in a distal/proximal direction relative to the body.
