Low Profile Electrodes For An Angioplasty Shock Wave Catheter
US Patent:
2014003, Feb 6, 2014
Filed:
Mar 14, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/831543
Inventors:
John M. ADAMS - Snohomish WA, US

Assignee:
SHOCKWAVE MEDICAL, INC. - Fremont CA
International Classification:
A61B 17/22
US Classification:
606128
Abstract:
Described herein are low-profile electrodes for use with an angioplasty shockwave catheter. A low-profile electrode assembly may have an inner electrode, an insulating layer disposed over the inner electrode such that an opening in the insulating layer is aligned with the inner electrode, and an outer electrode sheath disposed over the insulating layer such that an opening in the outer electrode sheath is coaxially aligned with the opening in the insulating layer. This layered configuration allows for the generation of shockwaves that propagate outward from the side of the catheter. In some variations, the electrode assembly has a second inner electrode, and the insulating layer and outer electrode may each have a second opening that are coaxially aligned with the second inner electrode. An angioplasty shockwave catheter may have a plurality of such low-profile electrode assemblies along its length to break up calcified plaques along a length of a vessel.

International Classification:
A61B 17/20, A61F 2/01
US Classification:
604 22, 606200
Abstract:
A valvuloplasty system comprises a balloon adapted to be placed adjacent leaflets of a valve. The balloon is inflatable with a liquid. The system further includes a shock wave generator within the balloon that produces shock waves. The shock waves propagate through the liquid and impinge upon the valve to decalcify and open the valve. The balloon is carried on a catheter that includes a guidewire lumen. The system further includes a debris collecting basket carried on the catheter proximal to the balloon.
Disposable Infusion Device With Redundant Valved Safety
US Patent:
8246581, Aug 21, 2012
Filed:

Appl. No.:
13/150395
Inventors:
John M. Adams - Snohomish WA, US
Brett J. Carter - Monroe WA, US
Brett J. Carter - Monroe WA, US
Assignee:
Calibra Medical, Inc. - Redwood City CA
International Classification:
A61M 1/00
US Classification:
604151
Abstract:
A wearable infusion device comprises a reservoir that holds a liquid medicament, an outlet port that delivers the liquid medicament to a patient, a pump that holds a volume of the liquid medicament received from the reservoir and displaces substantially all of the volume of the liquid medicament when actuated, and at least a first valve, a second valve, and a third valve. The valves establish fluid connection between the reservoir and the pump when in a first valve configuration and establish fluid connection between the pump and the outlet when in a second valve configuration. At least two of the valves isolate the outlet from the reservoir when the valves are in the first valve configuration.
Disposable Infusion Device With Resettable Last Dose Lock-Out
US Patent:

Assignee:
Calibra Medical, Inc. - Redwood City CA
International Classification:
A61M 31/00
US Classification:
604 67
Abstract:
A wearable infusion device comprises a reservoir that holds a liquid medicament, an outlet that delivers the liquid medicament to a patient, and a pump that displaces a volume of the liquid medicament to the outlet when actuated. The device further includes a lock-out that disables actuation of the device responsive to a predetermined condition of the device. The lock-out is resettable.

Shock Wave Balloon Catheter System With Off Center Shock Wave Generator
US Patent:
2013003, Jan 31, 2013
Filed:
Oct 5, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/646583
Inventors:
John M. ADAMS - Snohomish WA, US
International Classification:
A61B 18/18, A61B 17/22
US Classification:
606 41, 606128
Abstract:
A catheter comprises an elongated carrier and a balloon about the carrier in sealed relation thereto. The balloon is arranged to receive a fluid therein that inflates the balloon and has an inner surface. The catheter further includes a shock wave generator asymmetrically located within the balloon with respect to the inner surface of the balloon that forms a mechanical shock wave within the balloon. Because the shock wave generator is asymmetrically located within the balloon with respect to the inner surface of the balloon, each shock wave will impact the inner surface of the balloon in a non-uniform manner to prevent the hoop stress of the balloon from being exceeded.
