Asymmetric Dilatation Balloon

View page
US Patent:
61297372, Oct 10, 2000
Filed:
Oct 7, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/726548
Inventors:
Bruce S. Hamilton - Lowell MA
David B. Vafiades - Bedford MA
Ralph J. Barry - Hudson MA
Daniel J. Kalashian - Watertown MA
Assignee:
Boston Scientific Corporation - Watertown MA
International Classification:
A61M 2900
US Classification:
606194
Abstract:
Dilating an obstructed region in a narrow, highly torturous lumen with a dilatation catheter having near its distal end an inflatable balloon with a dilatation section, a proximal taper section, and distal taper section. The dilatation section is generally cylindrical in shape when the balloon is inflated. The distal taper section has a relatively abrupt slope, and the proximal taper section has a relatively gradual slope.

Cam Actuator Assembly For A Programmable Infusion System

View page
US Patent:
47532700, Jun 28, 1988
Filed:
Oct 1, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/782559
Inventors:
Eric Lawhite - South Royalton VT
David B. Vafiades - Lexington MA
Arthur J. Loud - Arlington MA
Assignee:
Omni-Flow, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
A61M 500
US Classification:
13762418
Abstract:
A single stacked cam bearing surface is used to actuate several cam followers in such manner that the cam bearing surface can move past one or more cam followers without actuation thereof but can be caused to stop at and actuate any desired cam follower. A stacked disc cam bearing surface of the improved cam actuator assembly of the present invention includes rotatable cam sub-assembly discs each having a surface well. The plurality of cam followers that bear against the bearing surface are selectively actuated by a controlled positioning of the cam sub-assembly discs that radially aligns the wells of the bearing surface with a selected cam follower. During a controlled rotation of the cam assemblies through an angular position of an intermediate cam follower, the wells of the sub-assembly discs of the cam bearing surface are radially mis-aliged, and thereby fail to actuate the cam follower during rotation through an intermediate angular position. The wells are aligned at a cam follower to be activated by a back and forth motion of the discs with the wells positioned under the followers.
