Medical Device For Delivering A Therapeutic Substance And Method Therefor
view source
US Patent:

6399144, Jun 4, 2002
Filed:

Feb 12, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/780513
Inventors:

Thomas Q. Dinh - Minnetonka MN
Rodney G. Wolff - Minnetonka Beach MN
Eric P. Berg - Plymouth MN
Assignee:

Medtronic Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:

A61L 1554
US Classification:

427 224, 427 228, 427 231
Abstract:

A device useful for localized delivery of a therapeutic material is provided. The device includes a structure including a porous material; and a water-insoluble salt of a therapeutic material dispersed in the porous material. The water-insoluble salt is formed by contacting an aqueous solution of a therapeutic salt with a heavy metal water-soluble salt dispersed throughout a substantial portion of the porous material. The porous material can be made of a polymer other than fibrin with fibrin incorporated into the pores, which can be the only layer of polymeric material on the medical device (e. g. , stent). A new method for preparing a porous polymer material on a medical device.

US Patent:

6730120, May 4, 2004
Filed:

Jan 26, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/769423
Inventors:

Eric P. Berg - Plymouth MN
Thomas Q. Dinh - Minnetonka MN
Assignee:

Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:

A61F 206
US Classification:

623 142, 604266, 604269, 6048911, 604265, 623 143
Abstract:

A device useful for localized delivery of a therapeutic material is provided. The device includes a structure including a porous material; and a water-insoluble salt of a therapeutic material dispersed in the porous material. The water-insoluble salt is formed by contacting an aqueous solution of a therapeutic salt with a heavy metal water-soluble salt dispersed throughout a substantial portion of the porous material. The heavy metal water-soluble salt can be dispersed in the porous material so that the device can be sterilized and the therapeutic material can be loaded in the device in situ, for example, just prior to use. The therapeutic material is preferably a heparin or heparin derivative or analog which renders the material antithrombotic as an implantable or invasive device.

Drug-Eluting Stent For Controlled Drug Delivery

Assignee:

Medtronic Vascular, Inc. - Santa Rosa CA
International Classification:

A61F 2/06
US Classification:

623 142, 623 118
Abstract:

The present invention provides a stent for delivering drugs to a vessel in a body, including a stent framework with a plurality of reservoirs formed therein, a drug polymer positioned in the reservoirs, and a polymer layer positioned on the drug polymer. The present invention also provides a method of manufacturing a drug-polymer stent and a method of treating a vascular condition using the drug-polymer stent.

US Patent:

8597262, Dec 3, 2013
Filed:

Aug 16, 2010
Appl. No.:

13/383147
Inventors:

Rosa K. Canifax - Minnetonka MN, US
Thomas Q. Dinh - Minnetonka MN, US
Edouard A. Koullick - Minnetonka MN, US
Mark S. Bouchier - Minnetonka MN, US
Assignee:

AMS Research Corporation - Minnetonka MN
International Classification:

A61M 31/00
US Classification:

604285
Abstract:

A uterine fibroid treatment device providing for localized delivery of one or more treatment drugs for treating various uterine conditions including, for example, uterine fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic adhesions and endometriosis. Generally, the uterine treatment device comprises a physical positioning element that can be inserted, positioned and maintained in close proximity to the uterine tissue to be treated. The treatment drugs delivered to the treatment location can include various combinations of anti-proliferative agents and angiogenesis inhibitors to provide different treatments concurrently. In some embodiments, the physical element can also serve the dual purpose of delivering the treatment drugs while simultaneously cutting off blood flow to a mature fibroid to initiate hypoxic/ischemic conditions within the mature fibroid.
