Guide Wire Torque Device
US Patent:
7831297, Nov 9, 2010
Filed:
May 24, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/444773
Inventors:
John C. Opie - Scottsdale AZ, US
Stephen J. Joyce - Phoenix AZ, US
Stephen J. Joyce - Phoenix AZ, US
Assignee:
Scottsdale Medical Devices, Inc. - Scottsdale AZ
International Classification:
A61B 5/00, A61M 25/00
US Classification:
600434, 600585
Abstract:
A device for gripping a guide wire includes a body portion having an opening therethrough, and has an open position and a closed position. When the device is in the open position the guide wire may be passed through the opening. When the device is in the closed position the guide wire is gripped at more than one location thereby allowing force or torque to be applied to the guide wire. A device according to the invention may optionally, or instead, include (a) a snout to act as a guide wire director, (b) a structure, such as an opening, configured to receive an end of a guide wire package, (c) a structure for securing a body member to the device, and/or (d) a mechanism for advancing or retracting a guide wire. If the device includes one of these optional features, it need not be designed to grip a guide wire at two or more locations.
Monocusp Valve Construction And Defect Closure Device For Deep Vein Regurgitation
US Patent:
2005027, Dec 8, 2005
Filed:
Jan 24, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/042315
Inventors:
John Opie - Scottsdale AZ, US
International Classification:
A61F002/06
US Classification:
623001240, 128898000, 606213000
Abstract:
A vein valve, preferably for the common femoral vein, is described. The valve may be of a monocusp or bicuspid construction. The valve is constructed from the patient's own vein wall tissue, in which case it is necessary to repair the opening made in the vein wall with a precisely shaped, minimally thrombogenic vein wall patch, which may be, and is preferably, synthetic. The synthetic patch may be both heparin and antibiotic bonded and thus confer special advantages.
Percutaneous Vein Harvester With Shielded Blade
US Patent:
2005027, Dec 8, 2005
Filed:
May 13, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/129053
Inventors:
John Opie - Scottsdale AZ, US
International Classification:
A61B017/22
US Classification:
606159000
Abstract:
A percutaneous harvesting device for the harvesting of tubular body members from a body is disclosed. The percutaneous harvesting device includes an endovascular guide for sufficiently straightening the tubular vessel to be removed and a perivascular cutting tool that is inserted over the endovascular guide. The cutting tool is advanced along the length of the tubular body member to be removed and it cuts body tissue (wherein the tubular body member is positioned inside the body tissue) as it is advanced. The body tissue is thus dissected from the body and can then be extracted percutaneously and rapidly from the body by pulling the endovascular guide, and the tubular body member and surrounding body tissue, from the body.
Guide Wire Containment/Dispensing System
US Patent:
2007019, Aug 23, 2007
Filed:

Thomas Izdebski - Phoenix AZ, US
Assignee:
JS VASCULAR, INC. - Scottsdale AZ
International Classification:
B65D 83/10
US Classification:
206364000
Abstract:
This invention is directed to a circular, coiled wire containment/dispenser system that is designed to simplify production methods and reduce production costs, and, because it is ergonomically designed, is easier to use with respect to the user. The circular body is preferably made of a single circle of semitransparent plastic, which contains one or more spiral grooves closed by a matching, clip-on lid. There are preferably lateral and medial ramps or bumps on both sides of the spirals. These ramps deflect the wires toward the center of the spiral. Thus a large percentage of the surface of the wires are not touching the walls of the containment system and touch only the apexes of the medial and lateral ramps or bumps. By this method, friction is greatly reduced allowing efficient wire extraction and loading.

Labeled Vascular Patch
US Patent:
2008025, Oct 16, 2008
Filed:
Apr 16, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/735812
Inventors:
John C. Opie - Scottsdale AZ, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/03
US Classification:
606213
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to a labeled vascular patch to be applied during surgical repair of blood vessels, which have become diseased by atherosclerosis or injured by trauma. More particularly, the present patch comprises a label, useful for locating the patch during post-operative recovery to assess the success of the surgery and/or during subsequent operations on the same portion of vasculature. The label can comprise any material useful for interacting with imaging energy including, but not limited to Radiation Energy (i.e. X-Rays) electromagnetic energy, sound energy, and light energy, and/or any other energy used for therapeutic imaging.

Stephen Joyce - Phoenix AZ, US
Thomas Izdebski - Phoenix AZ, US
International Classification:
A61M 1/00
US Classification:
604313000, 604319000
Abstract:
A device is delineated for removing body fluid from a wound site. The device may include a drain sealed within the wound site, a conduit connected to the drain and a fluid container connected to the other end of the conduit. The fluid container may include at least one inlet passage of larger diameter to reduce likelihood of clogging during body-fluid inflow. An additional inlet passage may be included. The fluid container may also include at least one outlet passage of larger diameter to improve draining efficiency.
Vascular Sheath
US Patent:
2007027, Nov 29, 2007
Filed:
Dec 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/567851
Inventors:
John Opie - Scottsdale AZ, US
Assignee:
JS Vascular, Inc. - Scottsdale AZ
International Classification:
A61B 17/12
US Classification:
606213000
Abstract:
Disclosed is a vascular sheath for helping to prevent bleeding during procedures in which devices must be inserted into a blood vessel such as an artery or vein. The vascular sheath includes at least one manually compressible primary seal that has a lumen passing therethrough. A device inserted into the blood vessel first passes through the sheath, and thus through the lumen in the primary seal. By manually adjusting the compression of the primary seal the size of at least part of the lumen is made to substantially conform to the outer surface of the device. The primary seal can thus seal against large and small sized devices to prevent bleeding. It is preferred that a secondary seal also be used and one type of secondary seal is a flexible disk or flap with one or more slits through which the device passes.
