Filed:

Apr 13, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/735289

Inventors:

Jason M. Albers - Buffalo MN, US
Eugene Champeau - Medina MN, US
David Liebl - Eden Prairie MN, US

Assignee:

NeoMetrics, Inc. - Plymouth MN

International Classification:

A61M 25/00
A61M 25/09

US Classification:

600585, 60416413

Abstract:

The guidewire provides a core and wire coil construction. The core can be shaped with a generally squared-off distally facing shoulder that forms a platform for a proximal end portion of the wire coil. The wire coil can have a plurality of spaced apart coil turns at its proximal end portion. A bonding agent comprising an adhesive can be used to secure the core to the wire coil proximal end portion.

A61C 3/00

US Classification:

600585, 433 20

Abstract:

A wire used in the medical field for guiding purposes, as well as in other fields, such as in the field of orthodontics for teeth aligning purposes. The wire, when prepared for use in such applications, exhibits an innovative blend of advantageous properties, including enhanced kink resistance over stainless steel wires and enhanced stiffness over Nitinol wires, which enhance its use as a medical guidewire or stylet, and further, as an arch wire in orthodontia applications.

Abstract:

An improved fishing lure used for bait casting including artificial baits and leaders. The fishing lure comprises a wire body that may be formed of a superelastic alloy comprising not greater than about 20% nickel and about 30% chromium, the remainder being titanium, or a semielastic alloy exemplified by an alloy comprising from about 45 to about 49% nickel, not more than about 45% titanium, and about 8% to about 10% of one or more other metals, which may include copper (about 5.5 to about 7.5%), iron (about 1 to about 3%) and chromium (less than about 2%). The wire body may have a bight and engaging divergent legs which extend from the bight. Preferably, the bight is in a generally R-shaped configuration. In one embodiment, the invention provides a fishing lure having a shape memory alloy wire body having contacting, generally flat wire surfaces to provide more rigidity to the lure, thus improving lure performance.
