Insertion/Deployment Catheter System For Intrafallopian Contraception

View page
US Patent:
6763833, Jul 20, 2004
Filed:
Aug 22, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/644277
Inventors:
Ashish Khera - San Francisco CA
Don Gurskis - Redwood City CA
Dai Ton That - Milpitas CA
Betsy Swann - Newark CA
Steven Bacich - Half Moon Bay CA
Assignee:
Conceptus, Inc. - San Carlos CA
International Classification:
A61F 606
US Classification:
128830, 128831
Abstract:
Contraceptive methods, systems, and devices generally improve the ease, speed, and reliability with which a contraceptive device can be deployed transcervically into an ostium of a fallopian tube. A distal portion of the contraceptive device can function as a guidewire. The proximal portion may remain in a small profile configuration while a sheath is withdrawn proximally, and is thereafter expanded to a large profile configuration engaging the surrounding tissues.

US Patent:
7506650, Mar 24, 2009
Filed:
Feb 23, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/785553
Inventors:
Christian Lowe - San Francisco CA, US
Don Gurskis - Redwood City CA, US
Ashish Khera - San Francisco CA, US
Monica Barnhart - Foster City CA, US
Steven Bacich - Half Moon Bay CA, US
Betsy Swann - Newark CA, US
Roberto Silva-Torres - Foster City CA, US
Assignee:
Conceptus, Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
A61F 6/06
US Classification:
128830, 128831
Abstract:
Contraceptive methods, systems, and devices generally improve the ease, speed, and reliability with which a contraceptive device can be deployed transcervically into an ostium of a fallopian tube. The contraceptive device may remain in a small profile configuration while a sheath is withdrawn proximally, and is thereafter expanded to a large profile configuration engaging the surrounding tissues, by manipulating one or more actuators of a proximal handle with a single hand. This leaves the other hand free to manipulate a hysteroscope, minimizing the number of health care professional required to deploy the contraceptive device.
