Intravascular Prosthesis / Stent Delivery System Patents Available from ICAP Patent Brokerage
NEW YORK, NY (PRWEB) September 23, 2015 -- ICAP Patent Brokerage announces for sale a patent portfolio disclosing a self-expanding intravascular stent prosthesis with bifurcated guidewire. This portfolio is available from Counter Clockwise, Inc., as part of the 2015 Cardiovascular Auction. The brokerage continues to accept technology submissions for the auction, which will have a bidding deadline of December 10, 2015.
“With priority dates from 2002, this portfolio emphasizes a novel stent delivery system with the potential to save countless lives,” said Dean Becker, CEO of ICAP Patent Brokerage.
Key Characteristics & Benefits
This portfolio discloses methods and devices for bifurcated guidewire delivery of multiple stents in the vasculature of a patient. The portfolio also includes procedures, implant delivery tools, and implants for caged stent delivery. The device can be used to position and deliver any type of stent to a preselected treatment site within an intraluminal cavity. The device may include a tubular portion, a plurality of arms attached to the distal end of the tubular portion, and a mechanism to open the arms.
In operation, the caged device carries a stent in a constricted form to the treatment site for deployment. The arms of the cage are then opened, the stent released and deployed, and the device withdrawn. Several methods are provided to open the arms, including self expanding with an outer sheath, pullwires, a piston, an electrolytic joint, and an activator. The arms may be constructed of a shape memory alloy and opened when shape memory behavior is effected. The device may be used with conventional catheters or with a stent-loaded guidewire.
Originally founded in 2000, Counter Clockwise developed tools for interventional neurovascular surgeons and cardiologists. CEO Marc-Alan Levine plans to present these technologies to the public on a live conference call to the market on September 24th, 2015 at 11:00 AM EST.
