International Classification:

A61F 2/24
A61M 25/01
A61M 25/00
A61M 39/22

Abstract:

A system for delivering an implantable medical device to an implant location includes a control handle portion, a catheter portion coupled to the control handle portion, and a distal portion configured to receive the implantable medical device. The catheter portion includes outer shaft including an inner braided layer extending axially along the outer shaft, an outer braided layer extending axially along the outer shaft, wherein the outer braided layer has a lower density of braids relative to the inner braided layer, and an axial spine positioned between the inner braided layer and the outer braided layer extending axially along the outer shaft.

Abstract:

This disclosure provides a biological sample processing system and methods for processing biological samples. The processing may include one or both of removing wax from wax-embedded biological samples and applying a reagent to biological samples. Aspects of the dewaxing technique and the technique for applying the reagent may be combined to achieve energy efficiencies. Additional efficiency may be achieved by recirculating heated reagent. A hybrid power system may use a source of stored power to supplement external power at times of peak demand. Uniform distribution of liquids across a surface of the biological samples may be achieved by self-leveling using an inclinometer.
