Visual Inflation Pressure Indicator And Surgical Tube Including The Indicator

View page
US Patent:
6530898, Mar 11, 2003
Filed:
Apr 20, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/552913
Inventors:
Shekhar D. Nimkar - Swampscott MA
E. David Fink - Franklin MA
David S. Sheridan - Argyle NY
Assignee:
Tyco Healthcare Group LP - Mansfield MA
International Classification:
A61M 2900
US Classification:
604 9703, 60410001
Abstract:
The present invention provides an indicator for visually indicating a pressure level of a fluid in a pressure source. The indicator comprises an inflatable body having a notched section with opposing edge portions that are separated by a gap when the inflatable body is in an uninflated condition. The inflatable body further includes a port for connecting the inflatable body to the pressure source whereby upon inflation of the inflatable body, there is relative movement of the opposing edge portions in a direction so as to decrease the size of the gap and thereby indicate that a predetermined pressure has been reached in the pressure source. The indicator is particularly for indicating whether a predetermined pressure has been reached in an inflation cuff of an endotracheal tube.

Manufacture Of Split Tip Catheters

View page
US Patent:
8500939, Aug 6, 2013
Filed:
Oct 2, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/244514
Inventors:
Shekhar D. Nimkar - Swampscott MA, US
Eric Tobin - North Andover MA, US
Assignee:
Bard Access Systems, Inc. - Salt Lake City UT
International Classification:
B29C 65/02
B32B 37/00
B32B 38/00
US Classification:
156257, 156268, 1563082, 604523, 604908, 604265, 604 43, 604244, 128898
Abstract:
Multi-lumen catheter devices having at least one split-tipped end are disclosed, together with methods of forming such split tip catheters. In one aspect of the invention, the manufacturing methods can include the steps of: providing a catheter body having at least a first and a second internal lumen extending longitudinally through the catheter body; removing a distal portion of the catheter body to form a first distal tip segment such that the first lumen extends longitudinally within this tip segment beyond the second lumen; and joining a second lumen tip segment to the catheter body in communication with the second lumen. The second tip segment can be joined to the catheter body such that it is at least partially separated from the first tip segment and, in some embodiments, preferably diverges at an angle relative to the first tip segment.

Implantable Mesh Prostheses And Method Of Manufacturing Same

View page
US Patent:
8551125, Oct 8, 2013
Filed:
Jun 6, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/153837
Inventors:
Tami L. Hamlin - Exeter RI, US
Shekhar D. Nimkar - Swampscott MA, US
Assignee:
C. R. Bard, Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
A61B 17/08
US Classification:
606151, 600 37, 623 2372
Abstract:
Implantable prostheses for reinforcing and repairing defects in a muscular or tissue wall and a method for fabricating the prostheses that minimizes wasted mesh material and reduces the labor and time required for fabrication. The prosthesis may include a plug body formed of surgical mesh material having a closed end, a larger open end, and a cavity extending therebetween, and a filler body formed of the surgical mesh material comprising a plurality of petals extending radially outwardly from and spaced laterally about a common base disposed in the plug body with the common base attached to the closed end of the plug body. The plug bodies are cut as circular pieces, and the filler bodies are cut as hour-glass shaped pieces from the same sheet of material so as to leave virtually no wasted mesh material. The filler pieces may be attached to the plug body piece by welding.

Methods And Apparatus For Inserting Multi-Lumen Split-Tip Catheters Into A Blood Vessel

View page
US Patent:
8597275, Dec 3, 2013
Filed:
Apr 12, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/445713
Inventors:
Shekhar D. Nimkar - Swampscott MA, US
Stephen E. Albrecht - South Walpole MA, US
Paramjith Anand - Ayer MA, US
Eric Tobin - North Andover MA, US
Assignee:
Bard Access Systems, Inc. - Salt Lake City UT
International Classification:
A61M 31/00
US Classification:
604510
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for inserting flexible, multi-lumen catheters into blood vessels, and in particular, for inserting flexible, split-tip catheters into blood vessels. The invention accomplishes these objects by temporarily stiffening each catheter lumen and tip independently through use of intra-catheter stiffener elements disposed within the catheter lumens. This provides means for advancing the catheter/stiffeners assembly through a subcutaneous tunnel, and over a plurality of guidewires until a distal tip of the catheter is at a desired position within the vessel. The intra-catheter stiffener elements are sufficiently stiffening to allow advancing the catheter over guidewires, but sufficiently flexible to allow bending and looping of the catheter for proper placement within the vessel.

Eric Tobin - North Andover MA, US
Assignee:
SPIRE CORPORATION - Bedford MA
International Classification:
B23P 19/04
B23P 11/00
US Classification:
29460, 29428
Abstract:
Methods of forming catheters are disclosed, together with methods of forming fixed tip catheters. In one aspect of the invention, the manufacturing methods can include the steps of: providing first and second catheter tubes, a distal end of the first catheter tube extending a longitudinal length beyond a distal end of the second catheter tube, and attaching a flow diverting structure to an outside surface of the first catheter tube between the distal ends of the first and second catheter tubes. The flow diverting structure can be oriented on the first catheter tube to divert fluid flowing through an inner lumen of the second catheter tube.
