International Classification:

A61M 25/16

US Classification:

604533, 206571

Abstract:

An intravascular device can have an elongate shaft and a proximal hub assembly. The proximal hub assembly can include an interference fit member (IFM) which forms an interference fit with a carrier tube to reduce the tendency of the device to fall out of the carrier tube during handling and to provide for easy removal of the device when ready for use.

Appl. No.:

6/008936

Inventors:

Dean Peterson - Antioch IL

Assignee:

Beatrice Foods Co. - Bristol WI

International Classification:

A01M 104

US Classification:

43112

Abstract:

An electrical apparatus for killing insects has vertically disposed, concentrically arranged mesh electrodes interconnected by suitable switching means to a source of high voltage. The electrodes are supported at their lower ends by individual insulators establishing the lower ends of the electrodes both mutually spaced from each other as well as from the surrounding apparatus enclosure parts. These insulators are located entirely outwardly of the space between the mesh electrodes so that the region below the space between the electrodes is free of obstructions such that electrocuted insects will not be able to collect on the insulators and form an electrical short.

International Classification:

A61M 2900

US Classification:

606198

Abstract:

A delivery system for implantation of a self-expanding stent in a vessel is consists of an elongate flexible catheter for delivering a self-expanding stent to a predetermined location in a vessel. The stent surrounds the flexible catheter near its distal end and is held in a delivery configuration where the stent has a reduced radius along its entire axial length by a stent retaining and release means. The stent retaining and release means is a single layer sheath retaining sleeve means for retaining the stent in its delivery configuration attached to a slipping sleeve means for releasing the stent to self-expand. A balloon may optionally be used to seat the stent in the vessel after self-expansion. The stent may also optionally be retained by water soluble or swelling bands.
