International Classification:

A61M 25/14
A61B 6/00
A61M 25/10

US Classification:

600435, 60410306, 604523

Abstract:

Medical devices and methods for making and using medical devices are disclosed. An example medical device may include an elongate inner member having a guidewire lumen extending therethrough. An outer member may be disposed about the inner member. An inflation lumen may be formed between the inner member and the outer member. The medical device may be configured to have a first stiffness when the inflation lumen is free of inflation media and a second stiffness different from the first stiffness when inflation media is disposed within the inflation lumen. In addition, the inner member may include a collapsible region that is configured to deflect radially inward when inflation media is disposed within the inflation lumen.

Abstract:

An integrated crossing balloon catheter. The catheter includes a hub assembly secured to the proximal end of the catheter shaft, an inflatable balloon secured to the distal end of the catheter shaft, and a stiffening tube positioned over the inflatable balloon and a distal end portion of the catheter shaft. The stiffening tube is configured to be advanced through a vasculature with the catheter shaft as a unit. The stiffening tube is translatable along the catheter shaft from a first position in which the inflatable balloon is within the stiffening tube to a second position in which the inflatable balloon is exposed from the stiffening tube.

B29D 2200

US Classification:

428 342

Abstract:

Pulp prepared from post-consumer used or recycled paper may be employed in the preparation of substrates which are blended with a vapor phase corrosion inhibitor for preparation and fabrication of packaging enclosures or containers. The present invention permits substrates prepared in this fashion to be employed in such applications for which they are rendered highly suitable. Because of the unknown history of the post-consumer recycled materials forming the pulp, the utility of enclosures and/or packages prepared from such pulp is expanded. Vapor phase corrosion inhibitors useful in the present invention preferably include quantities of amine salts, alkali metal molybdates, including ammonium molybdates, or mixtures of molybdates with a second component such as benzotriazole.

International Classification:

A61N 1/05

Abstract:

An implantable medical device includes a lead body having a distal end and a proximal end, a lumen and at least one lead wire extending through the lumen. The lead wire has an outer surface and a polymeric coating on at least a portion of the outer surface of the lead wire. The coating includes a first structure having a first end proximate the outer surface of the lead wire and a second end opposite the first end. The second end is movable relative to the first end and relative to the lead wire.
