6635047, Oct 21, 2003
Filed:
Aug 6, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/923667
Inventors:
Andrew Forsberg - Plymouth MN
Assignee:

International Classification:
A61M 2500
US Classification:
604526, 604527, 604525, 2642112, 264345
Abstract:
An intravascular catheter including a reinforcement layer having a plurality of interwoven metal wire members and polymer members. 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.

Embolic Protection Filter Delivery Sheath

View page
US Patent:
7476236, Jan 13, 2009
Filed:
Dec 16, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/738589
Inventors:
Brian J. Lowe - Zimmerman MN, US
Robert L. Cassell - Otsego MN, US
Andrew Forsberg - Minneapolis MN, US
Colin P. Hart - Queensbury NY, US
Thomas Deyette, Jr. - Hudson Falls NY, US
Assignee:
Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. - Maple Grove MN
International Classification:
A61M 29/00
US Classification:
606200
Abstract:
Embolic protection sheath and method of using the same. In some embodiments, the present invention includes an elongate shaft, an embolic protection filter coupled to the shaft, and a sheath disposed over at least a portion of the shaft.

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.

Steerable Catheter With Hydraulic Or Pneumatic Actuator

View page
US Patent:
7717875, May 18, 2010
Filed:
Jul 20, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/895510
Inventors:
John Christian Knudson - Chanhassen MN, US
Andrew Thomas Forsberg - Minneapolis MN, US
Assignee:
St. Jude Medical, Atrial Fibrillation Division, Inc. - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
A61M 37/00
US Classification:
604 9504, 604 9501, 604 9503
Abstract:
A hydraulically assisted actuator in a handle connects with a catheter having a deflectable distal ablation tip. The hydraulic actuator translates small mechanical movement by a clinician into large travel movements of connected steering cables and increased tension in the ablation tip for greater deflection. The hydraulic system further dampens the return of the ablation tip from a deflected position to an equilibrium position. The hydraulic actuation system is also incorporated into a set of foot pedals.
