US Patent:

20110077621, Mar 31, 2011

Filed:

Sep 17, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/884809

Inventors:

Jacob Graham - Watertown MA, US
Stephen Derosier - Worcester MA, US
Jeffrey Bean - Fitchburg MA, US
John Golden - Norton MA, US

Assignee:

BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC. - Maple Grove MN

International Classification:

A61M 25/16

US Classification:

604528

Abstract:

A locking mechanism for a medical device to selective lock a first elongate member from longitudinal movement relative to a second elongate member of the medical device. The locking mechanism includes a flexible tubular member disposed in a bore of a handle assembly of the medical device, and an actuator, such as a cam member having a cam or eccentric surface. Pivotable movement of the actuator from a first position to a second position compresses or deforms the flexible tubular member against the first elongate member to lock the first elongate member from longitudinal movement relative to the handle assembly.

International Classification:

A61M 27/00

US Classification:

604544

Abstract:

A stent delivery system including an elongate shaft of a medical device, a stent selectively coupled to a distal portion of the elongate shaft, and a coupling mechanism for selectively coupling the stent to the elongate shaft by inserting a tab on one of the stent or the elongate shaft into an opening in the other of the stent or the elongate shaft. The tab may be deflected from a first position to a second position to disengage the tab from the opening.

US Classification:

606108

Abstract:

A drainage stent delivery system including an elongate shaft of a medial device, a drainage catheter or stent, and an interference fit member for selectively coupling the drainage stent to the elongate shaft. The drainage stent is selectively coupled to a distal portion of the elongate shaft by an interference fit between the interference fit member and the drainage stent such that axial movement of the elongate shaft relative to the drainage stent moves the interference fit member from a first position in which the interference fit member is engaged with the drainage stent and forms an interference fit with the drainage stent to a second position in which the interference fit member is disengaged from the drainage stent.

Appl. No.:

15/899909

Inventors:

- Maple Grove MN, US
Jacob Graham - Vallejo CA, US
Gary Leanna - Holden MA, US
John Griego - Murrieta CA, US

International Classification:

A61F 2/95

Abstract:

Stent delivery systems and methods for making and using stent delivery systems are disclosed. An example stent delivery system may include a guide member having a proximal portion and a distal portion. A stent may be disposed about the distal portion of the guide member. The stent may have a wall having an opening formed therein. A pusher member may be disposed about the guide member and positioned proximal of the stent. A holding filament may be disposed at the opening and may extend to the proximal portion of the guide member. The holding filament may be configured to releasably secure the position of the stent relative to the pusher member. The holding filament may be releasable from the stent independently of movement of the guide member.
