Dana Jaeger

Title: Dana Jaeger - Innovator in Stent Delivery Systems

Introduction

Dana Jaeger is an accomplished inventor based in Fair Haven, NJ (US). She is currently associated with Flexible Stenting Solutions, Inc. Although she does not hold any granted patents, her contributions to the field of medical devices are noteworthy.

Latest Patent Applications

One of her significant patent applications is for a "Reconstrainable Stent Delivery System." This innovative system comprises a proximal end and distal end that include inner and outer members. A pusher is positioned at the proximal end of the inner member, while a slider is located coaxially with the inner member and is positioned within the inner diameter of the stent. The slider can rotate about and move longitudinally along one of an inner shaft or tube, such as the guide wire tube, allowing the proximal end of the stent to move distally as the stent deploys. A pusher can be used on the guide wire tube, enabling the guide wire tube, pusher, and stent to move proximally relative to the outer sheath and re-constrain the stent in the outer sheath. Furthermore, the pusher and guide wire tube could move distally as the outer sheath retracts proximally for stent deployment to accommodate foreshortening.

Conclusion

Dana Jaeger is a talented inventor whose work in stent delivery systems showcases her innovative spirit and dedication to advancing medical technology. Her contributions, although not yet patented, hold promise for future developments in the field.
