Abstract
Vascular treatment and methods include a plurality of self-expanding bulbs and a hypotube including interspersed patterns of longitudinally spaced rows of kerfs. Joints between woven structures and hypotubes include solder. Woven structures include patterns of radiopaque filaments measureable under x-ray. Structures are heat treated to include at least shapes at different temperatures. A catheter includes a hypotube including interspersed patterns of longitudinally spaced rows of kerfs. Heat treating systems include a detachable flange. Laser cutting systems include a fluid flow system.
Claims21
A system for cutting a hypotube, the system comprising:
- a laser configured to produce a focused laser beam;
- a bushing configured to at least partially support a hypotube;
- a collet configured to at least partially support the hypotube, the collet comprising an adjustable diameter aperture;
- a fluid flow system comprising:
- a water inlet device, and
- a water inlet gate configured to be fluidly coupled to an end of the hypotube during cutting of the hypotube by the focused laser beam;
- and
- a conveyor system configured to longitudinally advance the hypotube during cutting of the hypotube by the focused laser beam.
(canceled)
A system for cutting a hypotube, the system comprising:
- at least one of a bushing and a collet configured to at least partially support the hypotube;
- a fluid flow system comprising:
- a water inlet device, and
- a water inlet gate configured to be fluidly coupled to an end of the hypotube during cutting of the hypotube;
- and
- a conveyor system configured to longitudinally advance the hypotube.
A system for cutting a hypotube, the system comprising:
- a fluid flow system comprising:
- a water inlet device having an adjustable height, and
- a water inlet gate having an adjustable height and configured to be fluidly coupled to an end of a hypotube during cutting of the hypotube.
