8622931, Jan 7, 2014

Filed:

Aug 27, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/892805

Inventors:

James A. Teague - Spencer IN, US
Mark A. Voss - Spencer IN, US

Assignee:

Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. - Maple Grove MN

International Classification:

A61M 25/09

US Classification:

600585

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention include a guidewire for use in a medical procedure. Embodiments of the invention may include a guidewire having an elongate core wire where the core wire is unground, has a length, and a substantially uniform cross-section. A thermoplastic material is extruded with the core wire and surrounds a portion of the core wire. Another embodiment is directed to a method of manufacturing a guidewire including providing an unground core wire having a length, providing a thermoplastic material, and extruding the thermoplastic material onto the core wire such that a portion of the wire is surrounded by the thermoplastic material.

International Classification:

A61B 17/221

Abstract:

A medical device includes a handle with a proximal arm and a distal arm. The proximal arm and the distal arm are pivotable via a joint. The medical device also includes a tube coupled to the distal arm and a drive wire. A distal portion of the drive wire includes an expandable end effector. A portion of the drive wire is positioned within the tube, and a different portion of the drive wire extends proximally of the distal arm and is coupled to the proximal arm.

International Classification:

A61B 17/221

Abstract:

Numerous devices are described. One device may comprise: a handle including a wire attachment portion; an actuator movably mounted to the handle, the actuator including a reaction chamber; a plunger movably mounted to the actuator, the plunger including a distal stop with a sheath attachment portion, and a proximal stop located in the reaction chamber; a resilient element including a distal end attached to the proximal stop, and a proximal end movable relative to plunger; and a force reduction element located in the reaction chamber between the resilient element and a reaction surface in the cavity. The resilient element may bias the plunger distally relative to the actuator, and be compressed when a proximally-directed force is applied to the plunger. The force reduction element may dissipate a portion of the proximally-directed force. Related devices and methods are also described.
