A powered catheter and/or powered catheter system is described. The catheter includes a catheter hub with one set of contact components that are configured to connect to a mating cable with a corresponding second set of contact components. The mating cable can be part of another device, such as a controller or power source.

Electrical catheter

An obstruction removal device is described, having one or more engaging members which can engage portions of the clot. The one or more engaging members have a collapsed, delivery state, and an expanded, deployed state which in some embodiments can be locked to maintain its fixed configuration.

Obstruction removal system

A circuit system includes a user interface, voltage source, and a terminal bank connected to the voltage source. The circuit can be used in a powered catheter system where the catheter includes a structural reinforcement layer such as a braid comprised of one or more wires. The reinforcement layer can be used to convey a current or signal in a powered catheter. The catheter may utilize a hypotube element which provides integrated sensors in order to power and control multiple systems in the powered catheter.

Catheter circuit

Concepts related to embolic delivery, including embolic detachment systems and an embolic pusher retention mechanisms are discussed herein. An occlusive delivery device for embolic delivery can include a delivery pusher, an occlusive device comprising one or more wires and having a collapsed configuration when within a delivery catheter and an expanded configuration when not within the delivery catheter, a connection interface, and a retention structure connected to the connection interface and the occlusive device.

Embolic delivery

A catheter system utilizing one or more sensors is described. The catheter can be used as part of an embolic coil system, guidewire system, or combined embolic coil/guidewire system where the devices interact with the catheter system. A variable detachment embolic coil system and guidewire system are also described.

Segmented embolic system

Disclosed are various embodiments of a method of assembling a speaker housing assembly of a speaker for a deck structure. In one non-limiting example, the method can comprise providing a base enclosure of the speaker housing assembly, attaching a mounting bracket in an interior of the base enclosure, positioning a speaker within a speaker aperture of the mounting bracket, attaching, using a fastener, a perimeter of the speaker to the mounting bracket; and attaching a speaker cover to an end of the base enclosure.

Speaker housing assembly

A system for delivering an implant within a patient is disclosed. The activation of the heater coil causes the degradation, melting or reduction of a component that brings the heater coil into or out of electrical contact with another component, or causes the individual loops of the coil to contact each other, thereby resulting a notable change in resistance in the circuit supplying the heater coil with electricity. A core wire terminates prior to the distal end of the device, allowing for greater flexibility.

Implant delivery device

An implant delivery system having an implant-pusher junction that has improved flexibility due to a shortened heater and tapered marker band. The heater capsule includes a coil having a complex shape made possible through additive manufacturing. The complex shape generates increased heat over a shorter length when compared to traditional linear coils. The marker band includes a tapered end that allows the implant to pivot relative to the pusher.

Implant delivery system

Implants comprising electrically-responsive hydrogel are described. Systems to provide electricity to induce response in hydrogel-containing implants are described. Methods for utilizing said system and methods for utilizing said hydrogel-containing implants are described.

Electrically-responsive hydrogels

An occlusion device formed of a microcoil having a three-dimensional relaxed state employing open looped portions interposed between closed loop portions. Planes defined by sequentially formed open looped and closed loop portions are neither coincident nor parallel to one another.

Packing coil

A system and method of delivering and detaching an implant within a body of a patient is described. A tether connects an implant with a delivery device. The delivery device includes a heater through which the tether passes. The inner lumen of the delivery system pusher may accommodate the lead wires which connect to the heater.

Embolic coils with detachable segments that are separated by detachment capsules that are thermolytically degradable such that varying lengths of coil may be implanted into a vascular malformation to occlude same. The capsules are radiotransparent when compared to the adjoining coil segments to the location of the segments is easily seen. The capsules further include protruding electrical contacts that make positive contact with terminals on a delivery catheter. The terminals on the delivery catheter serve as markers so the relationship between the detachment capsules and the terminals is easily visible under x-ray.

Embolic coil and detachment system

Disclosed are various embodiments of a speaker housing assembly for a deck drainage system. In one example, the speaker housing assembly includes a base enclosure, a mounting bracket, and a speaker cover. The base enclosure has a cylindrical shape with a first end and a second end. The first end has an opening to an interior of the base enclosure. The mounting bracket is configured to be attached to the interior of the base enclosure. The mounting bracket has a flange that is configured to be attached to a speaker. The flange has a first baffle and a second baffle along a perimeter of the flange. The speaker cover is configured to be attached to the first end of the base enclosure.
