摘要： A balloon catheter in which its distal tip is precisely positionable in order to control movement of the catheter through tortuous vasculature and especially through the lumen of a deployed stent is disclosed. The distal tip of the catheter is rendered radiopaque, at least at its distal-most end, to enable visualization of the position of the catheter and to facilitate placing the catheter in the desired position.

摘要： An improved deployment system deploys a stent to maintain the patency of a dilated vessel. The improved stent deployment system is adapted for deployment with a balloon catheter. The stent deployment system includes an expandable stent sheath for supporting the stent for deployment. The stent sheath is movably coupled to a catheter shaft and is relatively short in comparison to the catheter shaft. The stent sheath is movably coupled to the catheter shaft for movement between a retracted position and an advanced deployment position aligned with the balloon for expansion via the balloon for deployment of the stent supported thereby.

摘要： A micro-cable interconnect comprises a single exterior flexible insulative coating internally containing a plurality of terminally prepared, precisely spaced conductors. The conductors are arranged with a spacing and pitch to identically match spacing and pitch of interconnect zones operatively connected to an integrated circuit or connector, with the conductors constructed and arranged for bonding to the interconnect zones. A method of forming a micro-cable interconnect comprises the steps of:(a) providing a continuous formation of conductors of precisely controlled spacing and tension to identically match spacing of interconnect zones operatively connected to an integrated circuit or connector to which the conductors are constructed and arranged for attachment;(b) applying coating precursor to selected lengths of the formation of conductors and providing curing to the selected lengths to provide cured and uncured portions; and(c) cutting the conductors at the uncured portions to form micro-cable interconnect.
