摘要:
The present disclosure relates generally to devices, systems and methods for use with cardiac defects. A closure device includes an elongate body with a first actuator segment and a second actuator segment associated with the elongate body that can be bent into a first predetermined position and then to a second predetermined position where the distal end and the proximal end are more closely positioned than when in the first predetermined position.

The present disclosure relates generally to devices and methods for use with cardiac defects, more particularly, the present disclosure relates to a device including a frame defining a lumen, where the frame expands from a first configuration to a second configuration larger than the first configuration. The device also includes an anchoring member extending from the frame to secure the frame while in the second configuration and a plug portion of the frame to occlude at least a portion of the lumen.
摘要:
A catheter tip has an outer surface section, an inner surface section, a spatial configuration and at least one segment of electroactive polymer. The inner surface section defines a guide wire lumen. The electroactive polymer has an actuated state and a non-actuated state. In an actuated state, the electroactive polymer alters the spatial configuration of the catheter tip.
摘要:
A stent can comprise a tubular body having a first region and a second region. The tubular body is defined by a plurality of serpentine bands. Each serpentine band comprises a plurality of alternating proximal turns and distal turns connected by struts. The second region comprises a first serpentine band and a second serpentine band that overlap one another about a common stent circumference. The first region comprises a serpentine band that is not overlapped by another serpentine band about a common stent circumference.
摘要:
A catheter comprising an outer shaft comprising a first section of electroactive polymer. The first section of electroactive polymer affecting either the flexibility of the catheter or the steerability of the catheter.
摘要:
A catheter assembly comprises a catheter, a rotatable sheath, a guidewire housing and a stent. The rotatable sheath is disposed about at least a portion of the catheter shaft and is rotatable thereabout. The stent is disposed about a stent receiving region of the rotatable sheath and at least a portion of the guidewire housing. The first end of the rotatable sheath extends beyond a proximal end region of the stent and the second end region of the rotatable sheath extends beyond a distal end region of the stent.

An expandable medical balloon having at least one static state, at least one expanded state, and at least one deflated state, the expandable medical balloon including at least one active region, the at least one active region including electroactive polymer.
摘要:
A catheter assembly comprises a catheter shaft having a proximal region a distal region and a rotational seal therebetween. The rotational seal comprises a first component fixedly engaged to the proximal region and a second component fixedly engaged to the distal region. The components engaged in an overlapping arrangement. The rotational seal is actuatable between a non-activated and activated states. In the non-activated state the first component and the second component are separated by a gap which provides for the distal region of the catheter shaft to be rotatable relative to the proximal region. In the activated state at least a portion of the first component and the second component being sealingly engaged together such that distal region is made static relative to the proximal region.
