Springfield, Ohio Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
RAM Medical Innovations LLC has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for a major breakthrough in vascular care. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 11877940, titled ‘Modified fixed flat wire bifurcated catheter and its application in lower extremity interventions’, improves the precision and safety of procedures treating blockages in the legs.
This innovative catheter design uses a unique flat wire configuration to enhance flexibility and control during lower limb vascular interventions. It enables physicians to navigate complex blood vessels more easily and reach challenging areas with greater accuracy.
The bifurcated design allows the device to split and support dual pathways within the artery, improving blood flow and procedural efficiency. Its fixed structure also enhances stability, reducing the risk of damage to delicate vessel walls during placement.
By refining how catheters function in narrow, tortuous vessels, RAM Medical Innovations is helping reduce complications and recovery time for patients with peripheral artery disease. The technology offers promise in both routine and high-risk interventions where traditional tools fall short.
This advancement reflects a growing trend in personalized and precision-based medical devices. With this patented catheter, clinicians gain a smarter, safer way to restore circulation to the lower limbs – ultimately improving outcomes and quality of life for patients worldwide.
