The polymer members are thermally processed to permeate the metal wire members to form a polymeric layer having an orientation which is interwoven with the metal wire members.

Intravascular Filter Retrieval Device Having An Actuatable Dilator Tip

View page
US Patent:
7226464, Jun 5, 2007
Filed:
Feb 27, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/083810
Inventors:
Joseph Garner - Maple Grove MN, US
Matthew L. Young - Mound MN, US
Andrew Forsberg - Minneapolis MN, US
Louis Ellis - St. Anthony MN, US
Gary Hendrickson - Big Lake MN, US
Assignee:
Scimed Life Systems, Inc. - Maple Grove MN
International Classification:
A61M 29/00
US Classification:
606200, 606191
Abstract:
A filter retrieval device having an actuatable dilator tip for retrieval of an intravascular filter from a body lumen is disclosed. An outer shaft coupled to a distal sheath is advanced along a filter wire to desired point within the vasculature. An intravascular filter such as a distal protection filter can be advanced along the filter wire to a point distal a lesion to collect debris dislodged during a medical procedure. Disposable in part within the distal sheath is an actuatable dilator tip adapted to retrieve the filter at least in part within the distal sheath. Actuation of the dilator tip may be accomplished by any number of means, including a resilient member such as a spring coil, or by a reduced inner diameter portion disposed on the distal sheath adapted to engage a plurality of recessed surfaces disposed on the dilator tip.

Tissue Puncture Closure Device With Automatic Torque Sensing Tamping System

View page
US Patent:
7250057, Jul 31, 2007
Filed:
Apr 11, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/103196
Inventors:
Andrew Thomas Forsberg - Minneapolis MN, US
Assignee:
St. Jude Medical Puerto Rico B.V. - Amsterdam
International Classification:
A61B 17/03
US Classification:
606213, 74113, 475125
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for sealing a puncture or incision formed percutaneously in tissue separating two internal portions of the body of a living being with an anchor, a sealing plug and a filament connecting the anchor and sealing plug are disclosed. The methods and apparatus provide for automatic tamping of the sealing plug. In addition, torque required to tamp the sealing plug is automatically sensed and gear ratios of an automatic tamping device are automatically changed in response to sensed changes in torque. A planetary transmission may be used to automatically change gear ratios in response to the changes in torque.

Vascular Puncture Seal Anchor Nest

View page
US Patent:
7597705, Oct 6, 2009
Filed:
Dec 3, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/726826
Inventors:
Andrew Thomas Forsberg - Minneapolis MN, US
Loran Paprocki - St. Louis Park MN, US
Assignee:
St. Jude Medical Puerto Rico LLC - Caguas PR
International Classification:
A61B 17/03
US Classification:
606213, 606232
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for sealing a subcutaneous tissue puncture. The method and apparatus increases the reliability of device function by creating a multi-level anchor nest in a carrier tube of a tissue puncture closure device. The multi-level nest allows an insertion sheath or other deployment member to slide between the carrier tube and the anchor to rotate and deploy the anchor within an artery or other lumen.

Method And Apparatus For Locating Vascular Punctures

View page
US Patent:
7648493, Jan 19, 2010
Filed:
Apr 20, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/827714
Inventors:
Andrew Thomas Forsberg - Minneapolis MN, US
Loran Paprocki - St. Louis Park MN, US
Assignee:
St. Jude Medical Puerto Rico LLC - Caguas PR
International Classification:
A61M 25/00
US Classification:
604523
Abstract:
The present invention provides a vascular insertion sheath with collapsible penetration locators. The collapsible penetration locators provide the insertion sheath with a small outer diameter and the added functionality of precise location indicator. The collapsible penetration locators comprise thin membranes that collapse upon insertion of a sealing device or vascular instrument into the insertion sheath. The insertion sheath includes a reinforced wall according to some embodiments, with a coiled or braided filament for reinforcement.

Tissue Puncture Closure Device With Magazine Fed Tamping System

View page
US Patent:
7713283, May 11, 2010
Filed:
Apr 11, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/103257
Inventors:
Andrew Thomas Forsberg - Minneapolis MN, US
Assignee:
St. Jude Medical Puerto Rico, LLC - Caguas PR
International Classification:
A61B 17/08
A61D 1/00
US Classification:
606213
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to methods and apparatus for sealing a puncture or incision formed percutaneously in tissue separating two internal portions of the body of a living being with an anchor, a sealing plug and a filament connecting the anchor and sealing plug. The method and apparatus provide a magazine fed tamping system for automatic tamping and/or cinching of the sealing plug when the apparatus is withdrawn from the puncture site. The automatic tamping and/or cinching is facilitated by transducing a motive force generated by the withdrawal of the apparatus into a tamping and/or cinching force.

Flexible Tamping Device

View page
US Patent:
7749248, Jul 6, 2010
Filed:
Sep 18, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/532819
Inventors:
John White - Lakeville MN, US
Andrew Thomas Forsberg - Minneapolis MN, US
Assignee:
St. Jude Medical Puerto Rico LLC - Caguas PR
International Classification:
A61D 1/00
US Classification:
606213, 606232
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for sealing a puncture or incision formed percutaneously in tissue separating two internal portions of the body of a living being with an anchor, a sealing plug and a filament connecting the anchor and sealing plug. The method and apparatus provide for a tamping device that is coilable in some configurations and stiff and straight in other configurations. The coilable tamping device may also automatically tamp the sealing plug when the apparatus is withdrawn from the puncture site. The automatic uncoiling and tamping is facilitated by transducing a motive force generated by the withdrawal of the apparatus into a tamping force.

Tissue Puncture Closure System With Retractable Sheath

View page
US Patent:
7837705, Nov 23, 2010
Filed:
May 17, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/130895

Andrew T. Forsberg - Minneapolis MN, US
Assignee:
St. Jude Medical Puerto Rico LLC - Caguas PR
International Classification:
A61B 17/08
A61B 17/04
US Classification:
606213, 606232
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for sealing a puncture or incision formed percutaneously in tissue separating two internal portions of the body of a living being with an anchor, a sealing plug and a filament connecting the anchor and sealing plug. The methods and apparatus provide for automatic tamping and/or cinching of the sealing plug when the apparatus is withdrawn from the puncture site. The automatic tamping and/or cinching may be facilitated by retracting a procedure sheath without moving the sealing plug or a tamping assembly.
