Us Patents

Self-Sealing Insulation Employed On A Catheter Or Lead
view source
US Patent:

7787962, Aug 31, 2010
Filed:

Nov 28, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/946453
Inventors:

Yougandh Chitre - Valencia CA, US
Cheuk Tang - Pasadena CA, US
Assignee:

Pacesetter, Inc. - Sylmar CA
International Classification:

A61N 1/05
US Classification:

607116, 607119, 600373
Abstract:

An implantable electrical medical lead for a pulse generator includes a distal electrode, a connector for electrical connection with the pulse generator, an electrical conductor within the lead extending between the connector and the distal electrode, and an insulating sheath of flexible resilient material normally covering the electrical conductor having self sealing properties to re-insulate the electrical conductor in the event a rupture of the sheath should occur which exposes the electrical conductor. The insulating sheath includes an outer insulative layer, an inner insulative layer, and an intermediate plasticized layer to seal any occurring rupture in the insulating sheath and re-insulate the electrical conductor which has been exposed.

US Patent:

7826905, Nov 2, 2010
Filed:

Nov 28, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/946486
Inventors:

Yougandh Chitre - Valencia CA, US
Cheuk Tang - Pasadena CA, US
Assignee:

Pacesetter, Inc. - Sylmar CA
International Classification:

A61N 1/05
US Classification:

607116, 607119, 600373
Abstract:

An implantable electrical medical lead for a pulse generator includes a distal electrode, a connector for electrical connection with the pulse generator, an electrical conductor within the lead extending between the connector and the distal electrode, and an insulating sheath of flexible resilient material normally covering the electrical conductor having self sealing properties to re-insulate the electrical conductor in the event a rupture of the sheath should occur which exposes the electrical conductor. The insulating sheath is of polymeric material embedded with a plurality of pellets, each pellet having a frangible shell containing a liquid sealing material that solidifies when the frangible shell is broken and thereby filling in any voids in the polymeric material.

Active Fixation Medical Lead And Related Method And System

US Patent:

7991484, Aug 2, 2011
Filed:

May 15, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/748915
Inventors:

Shimul Sengupta - Chatsworth CA, US
Yougandh Chitre - Valencia CA, US
Cheuk Tang - Pasadena CA, US
Assignee:

Pacesetter, Inc. - Sylmar CA
International Classification:

A61N 1/37
US Classification:

607127, 607126
Abstract:

An implantable medical lead of the invention comprises an electrically active helix electrode extendable and retractable relative to a distal tip of the lead, an electrically conductive mapping collar disposed at the lead's distal tip and a proximal end carrying an electrical connector assembly. The electrical connector assembly comprises a first terminal connected to the helix electrode and a second terminal separately connected to the mapping collar. An advantage of the independent helix electrode and mapping collar circuits is that the implanting physician can confirm from separate electrode impedance readings that the helix is in fact extended and fully embedded within the myocardium. Further, the independent mapping collar and helix electrode circuits may be used, in conjunction with a configurable or programmable switch network, to provide the implanting physician with a choice of electrode impedances.
