    摘要: Vascular filtering devices and methods for their use are disclosed. In some embodiments, the vascular filtering devices include an elongate member having an unsupported membrane bag portion attached thereto. The membrane may be porous in some examples. Multiple elongate extensions may also extend from the membrane, and may extend along the elongate member, such as to a proximal region of the elongate member. The unsupported membrane bag portion may be configured to inflate or otherwise radially expand away from the elongate member as a result of blood flowing through the vessel within which the vascular filtering device is positioned.

    摘要: Thin, self-supporting biaxially expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membranes that have a high crystallinity index, high intrinsic strength, low areal density (i.e., lightweight), and high optical transparency are provided. In particular, the ePTFE membrane may have a crystallinity index of at least about 94% and a matrix tensile strength at least about 600 MPa in both longitudinal nd transverse directions. In addition, the ePTFE membrane is transparent or invisible to the naked eye through a complete conversion of the PTFE primary particles into fibrils. The ePTFE membrane may have a thickness per layer of less than 100 nm and a porosity reater than 50%. Further, the ePTFE membrane is stackable, which, in turn, may be used to control permeability, pore size, and/or bulk mechanical properties. The ePTFE membrane may be used to form composites, laminates, fibers, tapes, sheets, tubes, or three-dimensional objects. Additionally, the ePTFE membrane may be used in filtration applications.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to apparatuses, systems, and methods for percutaneous delivery of neurostimulation arrays. In an embodiment, neurostimulation lead comprises a body portion configured to transition from a collapsed delivery configuration to an expanded deployed configuration. In aspects, the expanded deployed configuration is wider than the collapsed delivery configuration. Additionally, in some embodiments, transitioning the neurostimulation lead from the collapsed delivery configuration to the expanded deployed configuration comprises unfolding or unwrapping motions that are not perpendicular to the central axis of the delivery system. In certain embodiments, the neurostimulation lead includes an array of electrodes arranged on the body portion, wherein the array of electrodes is electrically coupled to an implantable pulse generator (IPG).
