Stent-Graft Deployment Apparatus And Method

View page
US Patent:
6352553, Mar 5, 2002
Filed:
Jul 18, 1997
Appl. No.:
08/896804
Inventors:
Erik van der Burg - Sunnyvale CA
Eric Leopold - San Jose CA
Ramiro Reyes - Union City CA
Assignee:
Gore Enterprise Holdings, Inc. - Newark DE
International Classification:
A61F 200
US Classification:
623 123
Abstract:
A stent or stent-graft deployment apparatus or mechanism configured so that, when activated, the stent or stent-graft progressively expands in a direction from its end which is proximally positioned to the deployment instrument, such as a percutaneous catheter, to its end which is distally positioned to the deployment instrument. The stent or stent-graft deployment mechanism includes a tether or slip line configuration which reduces the likelihood of snagging between the line and stent member. A method is also provided for deploying a stent or stent-graft within a mammalian lumen which includes expanding the stent or stent-graft in such a proximal-to-distal direction. The apparatus and method of the present invention minimize the likelihood of the stent or stent-graft from being displaced from the desired site before it is somewhat secured in the vessel during deployment.

Methods And Devices For Rhinoplasty And Treating Internal Valve Stenosis

View page
US Patent:
8038712, Oct 18, 2011
Filed:
Jun 28, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/770471
Inventors:
Erik van der Burg - Los Gatos CA, US
Michael Dineen - Portola Valley CA, US
Mark Hirotsuka - San Jose CA, US
Jasper Jackson - Newark CA, US

Assignee:
Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. - Eindhoven
International Classification:
A61F 2/18
A61M 29/00
US Classification:
623 10, 606196, 606199, 606228
Abstract:
Methods and devices for rhinoplasty and treating nasal valve stenosis are disclosed herein. The nasal valve acts as a flow-limiter and can contribute to airway obstruction if resistance within the nasal valve is excessive. In one embodiment, a system for treating nasal valve stenosis includes a first elongate implant and a second elongate implant configured to support the nasal valves when implanted. The implants can be coupled together by connecting elements, such as eyelets, tethers, complementary socket joints, and button-rivet supports.

Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. - Eindhoven
International Classification:
A61F 5/56
A61B 17/04
US Classification:
128848, 606300
Abstract:
Methods and devices are disclosed for remodeling the tongue. One or more spaces or cavities are formed in the tongue using, for example, surgical or RF ablative techniques. The cavities can be closed or collapsed by inserting a tethered soft tissue anchor into the tongue and attaching the tethered portion of the soft tissue anchor to a bony structure such as the mandible or hyoid bone in order to exert a collapsing force on the one or more spaces or cavities. The insertion pathway of the tethered soft tissue anchor may pass adjacent to or even through one or more cavities. Also disclosed herein is a tongue remodeling system that includes means for creating a space in the tongue, and a tissue anchor configured to close the space. The tissue anchor may be tethered or expandable.
