Latest Patents

Hung Ha's latest patents include a thrombectomy and aspiration system and methods of use. These patents disclose devices, systems, and methods for performing thrombectomy procedures. The devices feature an aspiration catheter with an optional beveled distal end, which is advanced to a position adjacent to a thrombus. A blocking element can be expanded near the distal end of the aspiration catheter to block fluid flow during the procedure. Additionally, the thrombectomy device includes a thrombus retrieval device that supports a braided assembly designed to grip and facilitate the removal of the thrombus. The braided assembly can expand to various outer diameters by adjusting the tension in an activation wire attached to it. An expander can be deployed beneath the braided assembly to exert an outward force, enhancing the grip on the thrombus. This innovative approach allows for effective thrombus removal by pulling it proximally toward the aspiration catheter.
