Biointegrative and Biodurable Reticulated Elastomeric Matrix for Intracranial Aneurysm Therapy
Society for Biomaterials
Poster and Presentation. Society for Biomaterials, April 2010
Angiographic and histological evaluation of Biomerix Neurovascular Coils vs. Stryker/BSC Matrix2 coils and J&J/Micrus platinum coils in a canine carotid bifurcation aneurysm model through 26 weeks.
Biomerix Neurovascular Embolization Coils demonstrated superior recanalization outcomes, intent-to-retreat, and coil compaction vs. Matrix2 and bare platinum coils at 26 weeks. Histological evaluation showed advanced healing…Poster and Presentation. Society for Biomaterials, April 2010
Angiographic and histological evaluation of Biomerix Neurovascular Coils vs. Stryker/BSC Matrix2 coils and J&J/Micrus platinum coils in a canine carotid bifurcation aneurysm model through 26 weeks.
Biomerix Neurovascular Embolization Coils demonstrated superior recanalization outcomes, intent-to-retreat, and coil compaction vs. Matrix2 and bare platinum coils at 26 weeks. Histological evaluation showed advanced healing with no residual neck or sac thrombus, complete neointimal
formation, and endothelialization of the neck interface. In conclusion, Biomerix Neurovascular Coils show promise as a ‘next-generation’ bioactive coil system which can reduce recurrence rates in large/giant aneurysms.Other authorsSee publication

Self-anchoring cardiac harness
Issued US 7,291,105
A self-anchoring cardiac harness is configured to fit at least a portion of a patient's heart and includes a tissue engaging element for frictionally engaging an outer surface of a heart. The engaging element produces sufficient friction relative to the outer surface of the heart, so that the harness does not migrate substantially relative to the heart. There is enough force created by the engaging element that there is no need to apply a suture to the heart in order to retain the cardiac…

The engaging element produces sufficient friction relative to the outer surface of the heart, so that the harness does not migrate substantially relative to the heart. There is enough force created by the engaging element that there is no need to apply a suture to the heart in order to retain the cardiac harness. Further, the engaging element is adapted to engage the outer surface of the heart without substantially penetrating the outer surface.

A balloon is secured to the distal extremity of the catheter shaft and has an outer surface extending between proximal and distal extremities of the balloon. A flexible elongate element is provided which extends over the outer surface of the balloon. The flexible elongate element has proximal and distal extremities which are secured about the catheter shaft in positions spaced longitudinally away from the outer surface of the balloon to permit expansion of the balloon and to cause movement of the flexible elongate element into engagement with the lesion to form a longitudinal channel in the lesion.

METHOD FOR PROVIDING HIGH BASAL INTRA-LUMINAL PRESSURE USING A GASTRIC BAND
Filed US 20130211189
A gastric band assembly has one or more bladders incorporated therein so that basal intra-band pressure in the band can be set higher than typical Green Zone basal intra-band pressures. The higher basal intra-band pressures equate to higher basal intra-luminal or contact pressures from 35 mmHg and above.
