Deflecting Tip For Surgical Cannula

View page
US Patent:
6450948, Sep 17, 2002
Filed:
Nov 2, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/433603
Inventors:
David G. Matsuura - Escondido CA
Walter Dean Gillespie - La Mesa CA
Allen Newman - Rancho Santa Fe CA
Assignee:
Vista Medical Technologies, Inc. - Carlsbad CA
International Classification:
A61B 100
US Classification:
600139, 606 1, 600146
Abstract:
A steerable probe with a deflectable tip. In one embodiment, the probe may include a cannula having a proximal end and a distal end and extending along a length therebetween, an exterior surface, an interior surface defining a lumen, an elongate flexible section extending along a first portion of the length and having a section proximal end and a section distal end. A pull wire for deflecting the flexible section in a first direction in a preferred bending plane may be substantially embedded in the cannula between the interior surface and the exterior surface and extending from the section proximal end to the section distal end. The pull wire may be secured to the cannula adjacent to the section distal end and freely passing through the section proximal end. Two longitudinal strengthening members may be embedded in and extend along the flexible section generally opposite each other about the preferred bending plane.

Walter D. Gillespie - San Diego CA
James F. Marino - La Jolla CA
Assignee:
NuVasive - San Diego CA
International Classification:
A61B 100
US Classification:
600141, 600139, 403291
Abstract:
An articulator for positioning a tool during a surgical procedure, comprising: a longitudinally extending body; a plurality of transverse grooves extending inwardly from opposite lateral sides of the longitudinally extending body; and a plurality of recesses extending inwardly from the opposite lateral sides of the longitudinally extending body, the plurality of recesses defining an articulation control wire lumen and a tool control wire lumen, and wherein the tool control lumen is disposed collinear with a neutral bending axis of the articulator.

Medical Instrument Sheath Comprising A Flexible Ultrasound Transducer

View page
US Patent:
6582368, Jun 24, 2003
Filed:
Apr 17, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/836880
Inventors:
Charles R. Holdaway - San Diego CA
Paul F. Zupkas - San Diego CA, 92109
David G. Matsuura - Escondido CA
Assignee:
Paul F. Zupkas - San Diego CA
C. Lowell Parsons - San Diego CA
International Classification:
A61B 800
US Classification:
600443, 600462
Abstract:
An ultrasound transducer comprises a sheath body constructed from a nonconductive material. The sheath body is configured to be installed over a medical device. A piezoelectric copolymer transducer is held snugly against the medical device by the sheath body when the ultrasound transducer is installed over the medical device. The piezoelectric copolymer transducer transduces incident ultrasound signals into corresponding electric signals. A ground conductor is coupled to a first surface of the piezoelectric copolymer transducer. A signal conductor is coupled to a second surface of the piezoelectric copolymer transducer and conducts the corresponding electric signals to a proximal end of the medical device.

Devices And Methods For Attenuation Of Pressure Waves In The Body

View page
US Patent:
6682473, Jan 27, 2004
Filed:
Nov 27, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/723309
Inventors:
David G. Matsuura - Encinitas CA
Walter D. Gillespie - La Mesa CA
Sheila K. Wallin - Irvine CA
Kevin G. Connors - Wellesley MA
Edward Bullister - Newton MA
Assignee:
Solace Therapeutics, Inc. - Carlsbad CA
International Classification:
A61F 200
US Classification:
600 29
Abstract:
Disclosed are pressure attenuators, for attenuating pressure changes in an anatomical structure. The attenuators are movable from a first, introduction configuration to a second, implanted configuration. When in the second, implanted configuration, the attenuator attenuates pressure spikes within the body by reversibly reducing in volume in response to the pressure spike. In one application, the attenuator is utilized to treat urinary tract dysfunctions. Deployment devices, retrieval devices, and methods are also disclosed.

International Classification:
A61B 1000
US Classification:
600567, 606 80
Abstract:
A bone graft harvesting drill, comprising: a flexible tubular member and a hollow cylindrical drill bit mounted to a distal end of the flexible tubular member.
