Devices Configured From Heat Shaped, Strain Hardened Nickel-Titanium
View pageUS Patent:
6602272, Aug 5, 2003
Filed:
Jun 29, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/896435
Inventors:
John F. Boylan - Murrieta CA
Keif Fitzgerald - San Jose CA
Zhi Cheng Lin - Mountain View CA
Keif Fitzgerald - San Jose CA
Zhi Cheng Lin - Mountain View CA
Assignee:
Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
A61M 2900
US Classification:
606200
Abstract:
Cold worked nickel-titanium alloys that have linear pseudoelastic behavior without a phase transformation or onset of stress-induced martensite as applied to a medical device having a strut formed body deployed from a sheath is disclosed. In one application, an embolic protection device that employs a linear pseudoelastic nitinol self-expanding strut assembly with a small profile delivery system for use with interventional procedures is disclosed. The expandable strut assembly is covered with a filter element and both are compressed into a restraining sheath for delivery to a deployment site downstream and distal to an interventional procedure. Once at the desired site, the restraining sheath is retracted to deploy the embolic protection device, which captures flowing emboli generated during the interventional procedure. Linear pseudoelastic nitinol is used in the medical device as distinct from non-linear pseudoelastic (i. e. , superelastic) nitinol.
