Title: Stent delivery and deployment method
Inventor: JENDERSEE BRADLEY
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1995-10-19
Abstract: A encapsulated stent device for implantation within the vascular system includes a balloon of a balloon catheter formed around and adhered to a wire-like stent so that the outer surface of the device is more regular for delivery through the vascular system without an exterior sheath. The encapsulation securely anchors the stent to the balloon and maintains a low profile for negotiation of tortuous and narrowed vessels. Encapsulation requires placement of the stent over the balloon, placement of a sheath over the stent on the balloon, heating and preferably pressurization of the balloon to cause it to expand around the stent within the sheath, and cooling while preferably maintaining pressure to cause the balloon to adhere to the stent and to set the shape of the expanded balloon. Retainers may be placed at the distal and/or proximal ends of the stent during the encapsulation process, or the balloon material may expand to form retainers. The balloon defines at least three folded wings for symmetrical expansion of the stent, and one or more connected or non-connected stents may be encapsulated depending upon the area to be treated.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for the clinical analysis of a sperm sample. The devices comprise a solid substrate, typically on the order of a few millimeters thick and approximately 0.2 to 2.0 centimeters square, microfabricated to define a sample inlet port (16A) and a mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) extending from the inlet port (16A). In one embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port (16A), and the competitive migration of the sperm sample through the mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) is detected to serve as an indicator of sperm motility. In another embodiment, the substrate of the device is microfabricated with a sperm inlet port (16A), an egg nesting chamber (16B), and an elongate mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) communicating between the egg nesting chamber (16B) and the inlet port (16A). In this embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port, and the sperm in the sample is permitted to competitively migrate from the inlet port (16A) through the channel (20, 40) to the egg nesting chamber (16B), where in vitro fertilization occurs. The devices of the invention may be used in a wide range of applications in the analysis of a sperm sample, including the analysis of sperm morphology or motility, to assess sperm binding properties, and for in vitro fertilization.
