Latest Patents

Cavusoglu is associated with 1 patent, titled “Occluder with Stretchable Waist.” The invention describes an occluder with a tubular interlaced structure whose pitch varies along its length, along with proximal, distal, and intermediate elements. Its design places at least one transition between pitches near the intermediate element, relative to the outer circumference of a proximal or distal element in the relaxed state. The occluder can also extend axially, with a load-to-extension ratio below about 0.75 N/mm when extended by at least 2 mm.

Career Highlights

Cavusoglu’s listed patent reflects work on the design of structural-heart-defect occluders, with attention to the device’s structure and mechanical response during extension. She is associated with Occlutech GmbH, a company working in the field of medical devices.

Collaborations

Gareth Morgan and Cansel Isilki are identified as Cavusoglu’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or the invention.

Conclusion

Olcay Cavusoglu’s patent on a stretchable-waist occluder highlights an engineering approach to structural heart defect devices, combining a variable-pitch structure with defined extension characteristics.
