Filed:

Jul 2, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/830060

Inventors:

Collin George Cowley - Salt Lake City UT, US

Assignee:

THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH - Salt Lake City UT

International Classification:

A61B 17/22

US Classification:

606127

Abstract:

Apparatus, assemblies, and methods for capturing objects within a body are disclosed. A surgical snare device includes a steerable deflection portion with a steerable distal tip. An interface is linked to the steerable deflection portion to selectively manipulate the distal tip. A snare loop disposed at the distal tip can have a length that remains substantially constant as the distal tip is deflected and the snare loop moves in concert with the distal tip. The distal tip may deflect up to at least one-hundred eighty degrees, while the snare loop moves a corresponding amount. A method includes extending a snare through a body lumen and to a location near an object. The snare may have a loop that changes positions while maintaining the same length. The loop may be placed around an object and then used to retrieve the object from the body lumen.

International Classification:

A61B 17/135
A61B 17/132

Abstract:

Radial artery compression devices with an inflatable chamber and a substantially rigid frame are disclosed. The inflatable chamber of the radial artery compression devices can be inflated and then deflated according to a predetermined protocol. Some substantially rigid frames can form a wall of the inflatable chamber. Some substantially rigid frames can include indicia to facilitate positioning of the inflatable chamber relative to a puncture site of a patient.

A61B 50/00

Abstract:

Medical containers are provided, wherein the containers may be used to transport medical devices. The medical container can include a front panel, a rear panel, and a lower panel cooperating to form a cavity. The lower panel may include an absorbent material. The medical container may also include one or more absorbent band members disposed around at least a portion of the circumference of the cavity. An insert portion including a front panel, a rear panel, and a lower panel may be coupled to or disposed within the medical container. The insert portion may be formed from an absorbent material. Methods of using the medical containers are also provided.

Inventors:

- South Jordan UT, US
Tyler Rees - Draper UT, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/135
A61B 17/132

Abstract:

An inflatable compression device configured to apply a compressive force to a puncture site of a patient's vessel, such as an artery is disclosed. The hemostasis device may comprise a location indicium disposed on an inside surface of an inflatable bladder portion of the device so as to be disposed in close proximity to the skin of the patient to improve alignment of the compression device with the puncture site.

International Classification:

A61B 17/135

Abstract:

Vascular compression devices with an inflatable chamber are disclosed. The inflatable chamber of the vascular compression devices can be inflated and then deflated with a liquid with ultrasound properties similar to biological tissues. Ultrasound waves may be applied to the vascular compression device and may propagate through the vascular compression device and into the biological tissue of the patient to produce an ultrasound image to determine the patency of the vessel.
