    摘要: Disclosed herein is a cutter capable of removing soft and hard tissue when used with an atherectomy catheter of the type having a cutter housing attached to the distal end of a catheter having a torque cable. A circular cutting blade is disposed within the housing and is secured to the distal end of a rotatable torque cable. An elongated aperture formed along one side of the hosing allows the intrusion of stenotic material which may then be severed by rotating and axially translating the cutting blade. The cutting blade may be made from a cemented tungsten carbide compound of 90 percent tungsten carbide (WC) and 10 percent cobalt (Co) which is heated, injection molded and sintered to produce a hard, durable cutting edge. The cutting edge is coated with titanium carbonitride using a physical vapor deposition process to further increase durability. Cutting edge hardness is further increased by application of an ion implantation of nitrogen using an ion-beam assisted deposition process. A variety of alternative cutter materials, coatings and geometries are defined which improve cutter performance in removing soft and hard lesions.

    摘要: An injectable formulation of therapeutic agent may comprise the therapeutic agent and a stabilizer such that a substantial portion of the stabilizer remains in the therapeutic device to stabilize the therapeutic agent when the therapeutic agent is released from the therapeutic device. The injectable formulation may comprise one or more of binding agent particles or erodible material particles, such that the formulation can be injected into the therapeutic device. The binding agent particles can bind reversibly to the therapeutic agent so as to modulate release of the therapeutic agent, and the erodible material particles can generate protons of an acid so as to increase stability of the therapeutic agent and may modulate release of the therapeutic agent. The therapeutic agent can be combined with one or more of the stabilizer, the binding agent particles or the erodible particles to increase stability of the therapeutic agent and may modulate release.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are improved therapeutic devices and methods and improved porous structures and measurement apparatus for use with therapeutic devices. In many embodiments, a porous structure is measured based on diffusion of the gas through the porous structure. The gas measurement may comprise an amount of gas measured to determine a resistance of the porous structure to diffusion. The diffusion of the gas through the porous structure can be used to determine release of a therapeutic agent through the porous structure, such that targeted amounts of therapeutic agent can be released for extended times and such that therapeutic device reservoir volume and porous frit structure can be tuned to release the therapeutic agent for an extended time above a target amount for the extended time.
