Low-Compliance Expandable Medical Device

View page
US Patent:
7955339, Jun 7, 2011
Filed:
May 23, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/438693
Inventors:
Jeffrey D. Schwardt - Palo Alto CA, US
Andrea Leung - Milpitas CA, US
Richard W. Layne - Phoenix AZ, US
Assignee:
Kyphon SARL - Neuchatel
International Classification:
A61B 17/66
US Classification:
606105
Abstract:
An apparatus includes an elongate body and an expandable member coupled to the elongate body. In one embodiment, the expandable member has a collapsed configuration, an unfolded configuration and an expanded configuration. The expandable member is configured to be percutaneously inserted into an interior portion of a bone structure when the expandable member is in the collapsed configuration. The expandable member is configured to exert a pressure in a vertical direction on a first portion of the bone structure in contact with the expandable member greater than a pressure exerted in a lateral direction on a second portion of the bone structure in contact with the expandable member when the expandable member transitions from the unfolded configuration to the expanded configuration.

Method And System For Measuring Pulmonary Artery Circulation Information

View page
US Patent:
8323202, Dec 4, 2012
Filed:
Nov 17, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/272703
Inventors:
Edmund J. Roschak - Mission Viejo CA, US
Jeffrey Schwardt - Palo Alto CA, US
Philip Stephen Levin - Storrs CT, US
Assignee:
PneumRx, Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
A61B 8/14
US Classification:
600465, 600301, 600453, 600454, 600462
Abstract:
Minimally invasive systems and methods are described for measuring pulmonary circulation information from the pulmonary arteries. A transbronchial Doppler ultrasound catheter is advanced through the airways and in the vicinity of the pulmonary artery. Doppler ultrasound energy is sent through the airway wall and across the pulmonary artery to obtain velocity information of blood flowing through the artery. The velocity information is used to compute pulmonary circulation information including but not limited to flowrate.

Apparatus And Method For Medical Procedures Within A Spine

View page
US Patent:
8403937, Mar 26, 2013
Filed:
Mar 30, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/694257
Inventors:
Jeffrey D. Schwardt - Palo Alto CA, US
Brian Donovan - San Jose CA, US
Andrew Kohm - Burlingame CA, US
Hugues F. Malandain - Mountain View CA, US
Erika I. Palmer - Menlo Park CA, US
Mike Smith - San Jose CA, US
Eric Wong - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
Kyphon Sarl - Neuchatel
International Classification:
A61B 17/58
A61B 17/60
A61B 17/88
A61F 2/00
US Classification:
606 92, 606279
Abstract:
Devices and methods for performing a procedure within a spine are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes expanding an expandable member to move a tissue portion and form a cavity within an interior of a bone-related structure. At least a portion of the cavity is filled with a filler material while simultaneously withdrawing a medium from the expandable member at a predefined ratio such that the tissue portion substantially maintains its moved position. In some embodiments, the predefined ratio is 1:1. In another embodiment, a method includes expanding an expandable member to move a tissue portion and form a cavity within an interior of an intervertebral disc. At least a portion of the cavity is filled with a filler material while substantially maintaining the moved position of the tissue portion.

Jeffrey Schwardt - Morristown NJ, US
Paul D'Antonio - Morristown NJ, US
International Classification:
A61F002/44
US Classification:
623017110
Abstract:
Spinal implants having at least one of several attributes, including a surface layer of demineralized bone, a beveled edge, and channels in the faces in contact with adjacent vertebral bodies. Preferably, the implant has a generally planar top surface, a generally planar bottom surface, and a side surface, wherein at least one of the top and bottom surfaces is demineralized to a depth of from 0.8 mm to 3 mm. Preferably, the top and bottom surfaces of the implant are textured. Also preferably, the implant is disk shaped and comprises an insertion side extending at least 10% of the circumference of the implant, wherein the edge formed by the insertion side and the top surface, and the edge formed by the insertion side and the bottom surface, are beveled.
