Title: Devices and methods for delivering a drug
Inventor: CHEE U HIRAM
IPC: A61M25/14
Filed: 2000-06-02
Abstract: The present invention provides for the needleless delivery of selected agents to target tissues within a subject body by providing the agents in one or more high-energy jets or streams directed against selected wall or surface regions of such tissues. One general embodiment of the apparatus includes (i) an elongate jacket having (a) proximal and distal ends, (b) a lumen extending between such ends, and (c) a blunt, distal-end face defining one or more outlet ports in fluid communication with the lumen; (ii) an introduction port for feeding such agent(s) into the lumen; and (iii) a pump communicating with a proximal end of the jacket. The pump is operable to generate an increased pressure within the lumen such that an agent introduced therein will be propelled out of the distal outlet port(s), thereby forming respective high-energy, narrow, fluid jets or streams capable of penetrating a selected tissue. In an exemplary use, wherein a patient's heart is treated with an agent for transferring genetic information to the heart tissue, the distal end of the jacket is positioned adjacent a selected region of the heart wall, and high-energy fluid jets are directed thereagainst in a manner effective to penetrate the wall, thereby delivering the agent into the myocardium.

Title: Method for making a composite diamond compact
Inventor: BOVENKERK H P
IPC: B01J3/06
Filed: 1980-10-20
Abstract: An improvement in the manufacture of diamond compacts is disclosed in which a cylindrical mass of polycrystalline diamond is surrounded by and bonded to an outer mass of metal which provides support for the diamond. The improvement comprises the use of seed diamond to grow the polycrystalline mass under high pressure-high temperature (HP/HT) conditions from non-diamond carbon, utilizing a catalyst metal contained in the outer metal annulus. Preferably, this improved process is carried out using a cup-shaped metal mass having a stable carbide content of at least 10% and a coefficient of thermal expansion slightly higher than diamond. It is also preferred to heat the sample (the outer metal mass and the inner graphite mass) directly by passing an electric current through the outer metal mass in the HP/HT process during which the polycrystalline compact is formed.

IPC: A61L27/00
Filed: 1996-08-12
Abstract: A tubular prosthesis comprises a plurality of strands integrated into an integrated structure (18, 92, 100, 114) including resilient and ductile structural strands (32, 94, 102, 112) formed of a structural material, each structural strand tending to assume a nominal shape when in a relaxed state subject to no external stress, being elastically deformable away from the nominal shape, and further being plastically deformable responsive to application of a force to the structural strand exceeding a yield stress of the structural material, being thereby adapted to acquire a curved selected nominal shape in lieu of an original nominal shape. The structural strands (32, 94, 102, 112), are plastically deformed before they are integrated into the integrated structure and thereby are altered to have respective curved selected nominal shapes, and further are selectively oriented within the integrated structure to impart to the integrated structure a tubular nominal configuration corresponding to said curved selected nominal strand shapes. <IMAGE>
