International Classification:

A61B 17/00
A61B 17/42
A61B 17/08
A61B 5/02
US Classification:

606205, 606119, 606158, 600504
Abstract:

The invention provides devices, systems and methods for occluding arteries without puncturing skin or vessel walls. The devices, systems and methods for occluding arteries are configured to be applied to arteries externally of the arteries. Occlusion may be temporary or permanent, and may be partial or complete. Clamping a device to tissue near to an artery is effective to compress tissue around the artery and to indirectly compress the artery. The methods, devices and systems of the invention find use in, for example, treatment of uterine disorders and conditions which may be treated by occlusion of the uterine arteries. A uterine artery may be accessed via a patient's vagina by compressing a portion of the vaginal wall around a portion of a uterine artery to occlude a uterine artery. Clamping of an artery may also be performed by clamping a device directly onto an artery.

International Classification:

A61B 17/42
A61B 17/46
A61D 1/10
US Classification:

606119
Abstract:

The invention is directed to tenaculum-like devices and systems for the intravaginal delivery of therapeutic or diagnostic devices and particularly for occluding a female patient's uterine arteries in order to treat uterine disorders. Included are methods for grasping, manipulating and retaining tissue. The tenaculum-type device has a distal portion with a sound configured to enter a cervical os without causing undue trauma or discomfort to the patient, and a retention or tissue grasping mechanism with a grasping element such as a spike configured to engage and retain a patient's cervix. The tenaculum-type devices embodying features of the invention may have an expandable distal tip to more securely be engaged within the patient's uterine cervical canal.

US Patent:

8052718, Nov 8, 2011
Filed:

Nov 19, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/300115
Inventors:

Fred H. Burbank - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Michael L. Jones - San Clemente CA, US
R. J. Serra - Irvine CA, US
Greig E. Altieri - Laguna Beach CA, US
Jill Uyeno - Mission Viejo CA, US
Yu-Tung Wong - Irvine CA, US
Randy Werneth - Poway CA, US
Assignee:

Vascular Control Systems, Inc. - San Juan Capistrano CA
International Classification:

A61B 17/00
US Classification:

606205
Abstract:

A non-invasive blood vessel occlusion device includes a pair of pressure-applying members with opposed tissue-contacting surfaces, a supporting shaft configured to adjust the distance between tissue-contacting surfaces, and at least one sensor for locating a blood vessel disposed on at least one pressure-applying member. Blood vessels may be occluded by indirectly compressing the artery by compressing tissue near to an artery. The occlusion device finds use in, for example, treating uterine disorders and conditions which may be treated by occlusion of the uterine arteries. A uterine artery may be accessed via a body cavity, such as a patient's vagina, and may be occluded by compressing a portion of the vaginal wall around a portion of a uterine artery.

Appl. No.:

10/300410
Inventors:

Fred Burbank - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Michael Jones - San Clemente CA, US
R. Serra - Irvine CA, US

Assignee:

Vascular Control System
International Classification:

A61B017/10
US Classification:

606/142000
Abstract:

Medical devices, systems and methods for applying a luminal clip to occlude a body lumen, such as a blood vessel, duct, or lymph node are provided. Devices embodying features of the invention include an elongated pressure-applying member having a handle portion and a jaw portion with a clip-receiving surface; a sensor disposed on a jaw portion; and an energy transmission element connected to the sensor. The sensor may detect and/or locate a body lumen, and may be used to differentiate between a blood vessel and other body lumens. The device can apply a luminal clip to a body lumen to compress and to occlude the lumen. Occlusion may be partial or complete, and may be temporary or permanent. Occlusion of the uterine arteries may treat uterine fibroids, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and other uterine disorders and conditions; clips may also be applied in cholecystectomy procedures, and in other medical procedures.

International Classification:

A61B017/42
US Classification:

606/119000
Abstract:

Devices, systems and methods for grasping, manipulating and retaining tissue are provided. In different aspects, devices, systems and methods for locating tissue; for guiding instruments to tissue; for grasping tissue; and for retaining and manipulating tissue are provided. Such tissue may include the cervix of a female patient. A device may have a distal portion having a sound configured to enter a cervical os without causing undue trauma or discomfort to the patient, and a retention element such as a spike configured to engage and retain a patient's cervix. Devices may include a proximal portion, such as a handle. Devices may be configured to co-operate with other instruments. Cooperation with other instruments may include serving as a mount for instruments and guiding instruments. Such devices may aid in the placement and operation of instruments for therapeutic and diagnostic procedures, such as, for example, treating uterine disorders and conditions.

International Classification:

A61N 1/00
US Classification:

607002000
Abstract:

The invention provides devices, systems and methods for reducing or abolishing blood flow by occluding uterine arteries for treating adenomyosis and endometriosis. A non-invasive uterine artery occlusion device embodying features of the invention includes a pair of pressure-applying members with opposed tissue-contacting surfaces, a supporting shaft configured to adjust the distance between tissue-contacting surfaces, and at least one sensor for locating a uterine artery disposed on at least one pressure-applying member. Uterine arteries are occluded by indirectly compressing the artery by compressing tissue near to an artery. One uterine artery may be occluded or both may be occluded simultaneously. A uterine artery may be accessed via a body cavity, such as a patient's vagina, and may be occluded by compressing a portion of the vaginal wall around a portion of a uterine artery.

Abstract:

A method for occluding a body lumen includes providing a clamping device having a pair of opposed pressure applying jaws, providing a sensor on one of the pressure applying jaws for sensing blood flow through a body lumen, and releasably securing a luminal clip between the pressure applying jaws. The method includes using the sensor for detecting blood flow through the body lumen for locating the body lumen, positioning the luminal clip adjacent the located body lumen, and closing the pressure applying jaws for clamping the luminal clip over the body lumen for at least partially occluding blood flow through the body lumen.
