6 results about "Distal portion" patented technology

The invention is a dilation catheter which comprises an elongated catheter shaft, a guide wire tube, and an angioplasty balloon. The distal end of the balloon is attached to the distal portion of the guide wire tube, and the proximal portion of the balloon is attached to the distal portion of the catheter shaft. A stiffening wire is attached to the inner wall of the catheter shaft at a plurality of points along its length. The distal extremity of the guide wire tube is decreased in size relative to the proximal portion of the guide wire tube. A fluid is contained within the guide wire lumen.

An apparatus for securing together first and second bone segments having peripheral surfaces comprising one or more bends. In some implementations the fixation device includes an elongate flexible strap having a proximal end and a distal end, the elongate flexible strap having a plurality of ratchet teeth disposed along an elongate distal portion thereof that function with a ratchet member within a locking head situated at the proximal end to permit the formation of a closed loop about the bone fragments. In some implementations the elongate flexible strap has a first elongate portion situated between the locking head and the elongate distal portion, the first elongate portion of the elongate flexible strap being more flexible than the elongate distal portion of the elongate flexible strap, the first elongate portion configured to extend across at least one of the one or more bends when the apparatus is in a secured state.

A dental implant with improved cutting distal end for preventing the implant from stagnating along a bone socket during implantation includes an implant body having a head for receiving a dental prosthesis and a root for anchoring into a bone of a patient; wherein the root is truncated at a distal portion thereof to form an inclined sharp cutting face.

An emission reduction device which may be removably affixed to an engine's exhaust system. The device comprises a cylindrical carcass with a beveled opening in a diagonal line in its proximal part A bobbin is affixed in the distal portion of the carcass. A cylindrical-shaped fibrous blanket may be inserted in the carcass and the fibrous blanket may be wrapped in a wire mesh. A second fiber mesh formed into a cone may be removably inserted in the cylindrical-shaped fibrous blanket with the larger diameter of the cone positioned proximally.
