Integrated Medical Apparatus For Non-Traumatic Grasping, Manipulating And Closure Of Tissue

View page
US Patent:
20070027456, Feb 1, 2007
Filed:
Jul 18, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/458177
Inventors:
Mark Gartner - Pittsburgh PA, US
Brian Fill - Pittsburgh PA, US
Assignee:
ENSION, INC. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
A61B 17/26
US Classification:
606113000
Abstract:
The integrated medical apparatus includes an operator handle end and a multi-prong grasping member positioned within and movable relative to a grasper lumen that extends from the handle end, wherein the grasping prongs are moved between an open and closed position by relative axial movement between the prongs of the grasping member and the grasper lumen. The medical apparatus includes a contractible snare and a plurality of axially moveable snare pushing arms. At least two of the snare pushing arms include a snare holding and release mechanism, wherein the snare pushing arms are configured to advance the snare in an open, encircling position to a final deployed position where the snare can be released through the activation of the holding and release mechanism of the pushing arms, and finally tightened in a conventional fashion, such as pulling on an end of the snare at the handle end.

Noninvasive Trans-Catheter Method And Apparatus For Remote Suture Placement Such As For Septal Defect Repair, Left Atrial Appendage Closure, Pacemaker Electrode Placement, Mitral Valve Repair, And Other Inner-Cardiac And Inner-Arterial Applications

View page
US Patent:
20090306685, Dec 10, 2009
Filed:
Jun 10, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/136757
Inventors:
Brian J. Fill - Tarentum PA, US
Assignee:
Ension, Inc. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
A61B 17/12
US Classification:
606148
Abstract:
A noninvasive trans-catheter method and apparatus for remote suture placement can be used in a variety of inner cardiac applications. For example, a method of non-invasive transcatheter atrial septal defect repair comprises the steps of: advancing a positioning member along a catheter into the Atrial Septal Defect, wherein at least one suture deploying lumen is coupled to the positioning member with a piercing member within the suture deploying lumen; deploying the positioning member within the Atrial Septal Defect to align each suture deploying lumen with tissue adjacent the Atrial Septal Defect; and piercing the tissue adjacent the Atrial Septal Defect with the piercing member to secure a suture line through the tissue. A repair patch may be advanced along suture lines to repair the defect and secured into place with the suture lines. The apparatus is also applicable for left atrial appendage closure, mitral valve repair and pacemaker electrode placement.

US Patent:
20120239081, Sep 20, 2012
Filed:
Apr 6, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/441299
Inventors:
Mark J. Gartner - Pittsburgh PA, US
Brian J. Fill - Pittsburgh PA, US
Assignee:
Ension, Inc. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
A61B 17/28
US Classification:
606205
Abstract:
The integrated medical apparatus includes an operator handle end and a multi-prong grasping member positioned within and movable relative to a grasper lumen that extends from the handle end, wherein the grasping prongs are moved between an open and closed position by relative axial movement between the prongs of the grasping member and the grasper lumen. The medical apparatus includes a contractible snare and a plurality of axially moveable snare pushing arms. At least two of the snare pushing arms include a snare holding and release mechanism, wherein the snare pushing arms are configured to advance the snare in an open, encircling position to a final deployed position where the snare can be released through the activation of the holding and release mechanism of the pushing arms, and finally tightened in a conventional fashion, such as pulling on an end of the snare at the handle end.

US Patent:
20130110137, May 2, 2013
Filed:
Oct 1, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/632197
Inventors:
Enrico Nicolo - Jefferson Hill PA, US
Linda Cahalan - Cape Coral FL, US
Greg Johnson - Pittsburgh PA, US
Mark Gartner - Wexford PA, US
Patrick Cahalan - Cape Coral FL, US
Brian J Fill - Pittsburgh PA, US
Ali HUSSAIN - Cape Coral FL, US
Jeffrey W. Speakman - Saxonburg PA, US
Assignee:
Ension, Inc. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
A61L 27/24
A61L 27/22
US Classification:
606151
Abstract:
A variety of polymeric synthetic hernia mesh prosthesis with surface treatment on at least one tissue-facing surface to control tissue adhesion are disclosed including heparin surface treatment which provides heparin present in an amount to yield heparin bioactivity of at least one of i) an ATIII binding of at least 2 pmol/cm, and ii) a thrombin deactivation of at least 0.2 IU/cm; an acrylic surface treatment for coupling thereto of a heparin surface treatment, a collagen surface treatment or both; and an amino-functional polysiloxane surface treatment for coupling thereto of a heparin surface treatment. The synthetic hernia mesh may be formed of monofilament or multifilament polypropylene or polyester, and may be formed as a multi-layer prosthesis with an outer layer formed of a polymeric synthetic hernia mesh with surface treatment to control tissue adhesion coupled to one or more polymeric synthetic hernia meshes without such surface treatments.
