Endoluminal Device With Extracellular Matrix Material And Methods

View page
US Patent:
7550004, Jun 23, 2009
Filed:
Mar 30, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/094021
Inventors:
Clinton D. Bahler - West Lafayette IN, US
Michael P. DeBruyne - Bloomington IN, US
Neal E. Fearnot - West Lafayette IN, US
Alan R. Leewood - Lafayette IN, US
Jason A. Mead - Plainfield IN, US
Thomas A. Osborne - Bloomington IN, US
Jichao Sun - West Lafayette IN, US
Lal Ninan - Santa Rosa CA, US
Assignee:
Cook Biotech Incorporated - West Lafayette IN
Cook Incorporated - Bloomington IN
MED Institute, Inc. - West Lafayette IN
International Classification:
A61F 2/06
US Classification:
623 113, 623 148
Abstract:
An endoluminal device comprises a stent and a tubular graft supported by the stent. The graft has a proximal and a distal opening and comprises a synthetic material and a bioremodelable material. The bioremodelable material is disposed on an exterior surface in at least one band adjacent at least one of the proximal and distal openings.

S-Shaped Stent Design

View page
US Patent:
7655033, Feb 2, 2010
Filed:
Dec 8, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/297913
Inventors:
Neal E. Fearnot - West Lafayette IN, US
Blayne A. Roeder - Lafayette IN, US
Alan R. Leewood - Lafayette IN, US
Jichao Sun - West Lafayette IN, US
Assignee:
Med Institute, Inc. - West Lafayette IN
International Classification:
A61F 2/06
US Classification:
623 115
Abstract:
A variable curvature stent limb is disclosed herein. A stent derived from a plurality of these variable curvature stent limbs may be highly compressible, such that it is compatible with a low-profile delivery device. This stent may be useful over a wider range of body vessel diameters and may possess a greater fatigue life, since this stent may provide a more controlled constant radial force.

Intraluminal Device With Unsymmetric Tapered Beams

View page
US Patent:
7753948, Jul 13, 2010
Filed:
Jun 15, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/455274
Inventors:
Blayne A. Roeder - Lafayette IN, US
Alan R. Leewood - Lafayette IN, US
Assignee:
Med Institute Inc. - Lafayette IN
International Classification:
A61F 2/06
US Classification:
623 115
Abstract:
A beam is provided for intraluminal devices. The beam is defined by a first side surface and a second side surface. The first side surface is tapered at a different rate than the second side surface. One advantage of the beam is that strain which is normally concentrated in adjacent, interconnected bends is redirected onto the length of the beam. This may increase the fatigue life of intraluminal devices or may be used to fashion new structures with improved performance.

Method Of Promoting Cell Proliferation And Ingrowth By Injury To The Native Tissue

View page
US Patent:
7815687, Oct 19, 2010
Filed:
Dec 17, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/337163
Inventors:
Clinton D. Bahler - Indianapolis IN, US
Alan R. Leewood - Lafayette IN, US
Jichao Sun - West Lafayette IN, US
Assignee:
Med Institute, Inc. - West Lafayette IN
International Classification:
A61F 2/06
A61F 2/00
US Classification:
623 2374, 623901, 606200
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods of treating tissue of the human body, specially, methods of promoting cell proliferation and ingrowth around implantable medical devices. The methods include inserting an apparatus comprising asperities adapted to injure native tissue at a desired anchoring location, injuring the native tissue at the desired anchoring location with the apparatus to initiate an injury response in the native tissue to thereby promote cell proliferation and ingrowth; and implanting the medical device at the treatment location.

Low Profile Medical Device

View page
US Patent:
8021413, Sep 20, 2011
Filed:
Dec 17, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/337452
Inventors:
William Kurt Dierking - West Lafayette IN, US
Blayne A. Roeder - Lafayette IN, US
Alan R. Leewood - Lafayette IN, US
Steven J. Charlebois - West Lafayette IN, US
Assignee:
Cook Medical Technologies LLC - Bloomington IN
International Classification:
A61F 2/06
US Classification:
623 113, 623 135
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to an intraluminal medical device. The medical device comprises a main graft, a first extension graft, and a second extension graft. The main graft comprises a proximal end, a distal end, and a body extending between the proximal end and distal end. The distal end of the main graft comprises a first branch and a second branch, the branches extending distally from the body. The first and second extension grafts comprise at least one stent and have a body reinforcing portion and a branch reinforcing portion. The body reinforcing portions have a larger expanded dimension than the expanded dimension of the respective branch reinforcing portion. The body reinforcing portions, together, have an expanded dimension that is generally equal to the expanded dimension of the outer graft body.

Artificial Valve Prosthesis

View page
US Patent:
8038710, Oct 18, 2011
Filed:
May 30, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/807879
Inventors:
Neal E. Fearnot - West Lafayette IN, US
Alan R. Leewood - Lafayette IN, US
Blayne A. Roeder - Lafayette IN, US
William D. Voorhees - West Lafayette IN, US
Assignee:
Cook Medical Technologies LLC - Bloomington IN
Med Institute, Inc. - West Lafayette IN
International Classification:
A61F 2/24
US Classification:
623 217, 623 124, 623 212
Abstract:
A self-expanding or otherwise expandable artificial valve prostheses for deployment within a body passageway, such as a vessel or duct of a patient. The valve prostheses include a support structure having an outer frame, a supporting member and a valve leaflet. The portion of the valve leaflet is supported by the supporting member and is positioned away from the wall of the body passageway when the device is deployed within the body passageway.

Stent Having Less Invasive Ends And Improved Radial Force

View page
US Patent:
8128678, Mar 6, 2012
Filed:
Sep 2, 2009
Appl. No.:
13/060204
Inventors:
Alan R. Leewood - Lafayette IN, US
Shuo Yang - West Lafayette IN, US
Assignee:
Cook Medical Technologies LLC - Bloomington IN
International Classification:
A61F 2/82
US Classification:
623 115
Abstract:
The present invention provides a stent having less invasive ends and improved radial force. In one embodiment, the stent comprises a series of proximal apices disposed at a proximal end of the stent, a series of distal apices disposed at a distal end of the stent, and at least one angled strut segment disposed between the proximal and distal apices of the stent. At least one apex of the stent may comprise multiple curved portions. In one example, the radius of curvature of one of the curved portions is significantly greater, for example, at least 10 times greater, than each of the other radii of curvature of the apex. The curved portion having the significantly greater radius of curvature may be configured to engage a vessel wall in a less invasive manner.
