    摘要: A medical device for reducing the size of a Patent Foramen Ovale is disclosed. The medical device can include a first electrode, a second electrode, and at least one sensor mounted to at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode, the at least one sensor adapted to sense at least one operating parameter of the medical device or the patient to facilitate closure of the Patent Foramen Ovale. The medical device can also include a delivery shaft coupled to the first electrode, wherein the delivery shaft includes an indicia for determining the position of the first electrode relative to the second electrode. A method for determining a characteristic of an internal tissue opening is also disclosed. The method can include the steps of introducing a detectable fluid in the right atrium of a heart and then detecting the location of the detectable fluid in the heart.

    摘要: A medical device is disclosed that can include a first atrial anchor, a first delivery shaft linked to the first atrial anchor, wherein the first delivery shaft is adapted to move the first atrial anchor, a second atrial anchor, a second delivery shaft linked to the second atrial anchor, wherein the second delivery shaft is adapted to move the second atrial anchor, and a biasing member linking either (i) the first atrial anchor to the first delivery shaft or (ii) the second atrial anchor to the second delivery shaft. The medical device can include an insulation material coupled to one or more of the first or second atrial anchors, or the first or second delivery shaft. A method for treating an internal tissue opening is also disclosed wherein a first and second electrode can be operated between unipolar and bipolar modes to initiate tissue damage, thereby inducing tissue regrowth.

    摘要: A medical device for guiding through anatomy, such as a catheter or guidewire, with a tubular body that has been slotted to enhance bending flexibility, and a polymer liner with an anti-collapsing structure, and a method of making a medical device with a kink-resistant corrugated tubular member and an anti-collapsing structure. Anti collapsing structures may be helical or annular, and may be wire, such as ribbon wire, grooves in the liner, corrugations, or a braid. Liners may be bonded to the anti-collapsing structure, or may have two layers, with the anti-collapsing structure between the layers. Corrugations may be formed between sections of the anti-collapsing ‘structure with heat, pressure, stretching, compression, a mold, or a combination thereof, and may extend inward or outward. Shape or wall thickness may vary along the length to provide a varying bending stiffness. Slots may be formed in groups of two, three, or more, and adjacent groups may be rotated about the axis forming a helical pattern.
