Patent Issued for Delivery of medical devices (USPTO 12042413).

A patent has been issued to Covidien LP for a system that delivers medical devices, such as stents, to treat aneurysms in the vasculature. Aneurysms are areas of pathological dilatation in arterial walls that can be prone to rupturing. The system described in the patent allows for precise delivery of the stent to the treatment site within the vessel, ensuring successful placement. The system includes a catheter, a core member, an eversible cover, and a shoulder member. The cover wraps around the stent while it is compressed within the catheter and transitions to a second position when the stent expands, pushing the cover radially outward. This system provides a method for directing blood flow away from an aneurysm and ensuring adequate blood flow to adjacent structures. [Extracted from the article]
