DELIVERY DEVICE
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a delivery device configured to deliver a main stent with a fenestration, including a core assembly, an outer sheath, which is hollow and mounted around the core assembly with a delivering gap defined therebetween, and a pre-embedded guidewire. The delivering gap has a distal end for receiving the folded main stent. The pre-embedded guidewire enters the delivering gap through the proximal end thereof and extends to the distal end thereof. The pre-embedded guidewire has a distal end configured to enter into the main stent from an outside thereof via the fenestration, and the pre-embedded guidewire is configured to guide a branch guidewire to pass through the main stent from an inside to the outside thereof via the fenestration. The present disclosure has the advantage of decreasing difficulty for the branch guidewire passing through the main stent.
STENT DELIVERY SYSTEM
Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for deploying a stent into a body lumen. A stent delivery system may include a sheath with a partially-tubular first portion made from a first material and a second portion made from a second material that is adhered to the first portion to form a tubular body. In some cases, the first material may be chemically incompatible with the second material such that the adhesion between the first portion and second portion is free from cross-linked bonds. The stent delivery system may further include a guidewire lumen with a distal tip that may be slidably disposed within the sheath and a tubular stent disposed between the guidewire lumen and an inside surface of the sheath. The sheath may be formed by coextruding the first material and the second material to form a striped tubular body of the sheath.
Flexible Delivery System and Implantable Stent for Surgical Use
The invention is a tube, which would be used to facilitate the movement of an object through the lumen of the tube or over the outside of the tube. The invention could also be used as a stent designed for indwelling in a body, where its purpose would be to assist in the drainage of liquid from one part of the body to another. The expected use of the tube would be in minimally invasive surgical procedures where greater flexibility, radial strength and pushability than that provided by prior art are desirable to improve the speed of operations and the success rate of operations; to reduce the level of trauma caused to patients and to improve patient recovery rate. It could have use in applications requiring an exceptionally flexible and highly pushable tubing such as invasive surgery in vessels that are or have become tortuous and narrow, such as veterinary procedures for small animals, paediatric ureteral conditions, angioplasty for certain conditions and certain neurovascular work.
THERMOPUNCTURE STENT IMPLANTATION DEVICE
A thermopuncture stent implantation device has a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end of a front handle is provided with an outer tube, an insulating middle tube is provided in the outer tube, a conductive part is provided in the insulating middle tube, a terminal of the proximal end of the conductive part is connected to an external power source, a boosting tube is provided between the proximal end of the outer tube and the insulating middle tube, the distal end of the boosting tube and the proximal end of the insulating middle tube are connected with each other, the distal end of the conductive part is provided with an insulating part, on which a conductive head connected with the conductive part is distributed; the stent, after being compressed, is located in a space between the distal end of the conductive part and the outer tube.
MEDICAL DEVICES WITH REINFORCED WIRES
A medical device includes: a wire having a proximal end, a distal end, and a body extending between the proximal end and the distal end; and a coil disposed around a segment of the wire, wherein the coil comprises a proximal coil end, a distal coil end, and a coil body extending between the proximal coil end and the distal coil end; wherein the coil body comprises loops made from an elongated member having a cross-section, wherein the cross-section of the elongated member comprises a first side facing the wire, and a second side being opposite the first side and facing away from the wire; and wherein the second side of the cross-section of the elongated member has a higher curvature than the first side of the cross-section of the elongated member.
Systems and methods for percutaneous removal of objects from an internal body space
Disclosed are systems, methods, and devices for percutaneous retrieval of objects, such as endovascular devices, from an internal body space. The present inventions have vascular, non-vascular (gastrointestinal), and surgical (laproscopic) applications. The inventions include a retrieval end having one or more compressed states and an expanded state, the retrieval end adopting the expanded state when the retrieval end is deployed into a subject's internal body space, the retrieval end having a mouth through which an object can be passed into an interior space within the retrieval end when the retrieval end is in the expanded state, the mouth being adjustable between an opened state and a closed state; wherein when at least a portion of the retrieval end of the inner sheath is transitioned to a compressed state following capture of the object, the retrieval end exerts an inward force that at least partially collapses or compresses the object.

DELIVERY DEVICE HAVING A CAPSULE FOR DELIVERING A PROSTHESIS AND A PULL WIRE FOR STEERING THE CAPSULE
A delivery device includes a handle, a sheath distally extending from the handle, a capsule distally extending from the sheath, and a pull wire having a proximal end attached to the handle and a distal end attached to the capsule. The sheath defines a central lumen there-through and has a longitudinally-extending lumen formed within a wall of the sheath. The capsule has a tubular body with an intermediate region having a plurality of ribs and a plurality of slots defined therein. The capsule includes an indented segment defined on the tubular body, the indented segment being disposed radially inward relative to the tubular body. The pull wire is tensioned to bend the capsule. The pull wire is slidably disposed within the longitudinally-extending lumen of the sheath and along an inner surface of the tubular body of the capsule with a portion of the pull wire crossing over an outer surface of the indented segment.
LOADING SHEATHING CANAL AND DELIVERY SYSTEM
The invention discloses a loading sheathing canal and a delivery system, wherein the loading sheathing canal is provided with a rigid interlayer and a flexible outer wall, and a plurality of cutting grooves are formed in the circumferential direction of the rigid interlayer, and cutting fractures are arranged between two ends of the cutting grooves, and the rigid interlayer can be directionally bent via the cutting grooves. A handle of the delivery system is connected to the loading sheathing canal for controlling the movement of the loading sheathing canal. The loading sheathing canal provided by the invention has sufficient axial tensile and compressive resistance and radial compressive resistance, and certain capability to pass through a bend, and cannot puncture a blood vessel due to insufficient bending performance.
