摘要:
An apparatus is described that includes a vacuum line and a head coupled to a first end portion of the vacuum line. The vacuum line defines a fluid passageway. The head is configured to be removably coupled to a first portion of a reusable device. The head includes a contact portion configured to contact a surface associated with a target location. The contact portion is configured to circumscribe an opening to a bodily cavity associated with the target location. The head defines a volume through which a vacuum is conveyed to the surface associated with the target location. The volume is in fluid communication with the fluid passageway of the vacuum line.

A device includes an insertion member having a distal end portion configured to be removably engaged with an implant, and a sheath having an exit portion and defining a lumen. The exit portion of the sheath includes a set of dilation members configured to be moved from a first configuration to a second configuration. The set of dilation members forms a dilation surface when the set of dilation members is in the first configuration and defines an opening when the set of dilation members is in the second configuration. The sheath includes a hinge configured to facilitate movement of the set of dilation members between the first configuration and the second configuration. The distal end portion of the insertion member configured to move within the lumen to convey the implant from within the lumen via the opening when the set of dilation members is in the second configuration.

A delivery device includes a housing, an insertion member, a transfer member, and an actuator. The insertion member includes a distal end portion configured to be removably coupled to an implant. At least a portion of the insertion member is movably disposed within a passageway defined by the housing. The transfer member includes a coupling portion configured to be coupled to the insertion member to transfer a force from the actuator to the insertion member such that the insertion member is moved relative to the housing. The coupling portion of the transfer member is configured to move relative to the insertion member when the force exerted by the actuator exceeds a threshold value.

In some embodiments, an implant delivery device can include a housing defining a housing passageway. A distal end of the housing can flexibly couple to a head that can define a head passageway. Collectively, the housing passageway and the head passageway can define an insertion passageway such that, at least a portion of the insertion passageway is nonlinear. The implant delivery device can include at least one insertion member having a distal end configured to be removably coupled to an implant. The insertion member can be disposed within the housing such that, at least a portion of a proximal end of the insertion member is housed within the housing. The insertion member can be configured to bend, pivot, and/or rotate and move within a portion of the insertion passageway to convey the implant to a target tissue.
