    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of a method for assisting breathing in a lung having damaged tissue are disclosed. The method may include inserting an implant containing a dilatant fluid into a pleural cavity of a patient to reduce an inhalation volume of the lung. Additional embodiments may include an implant configured to apply a force toward a portion of a lung. A controller may be coupled to the implant and configured to sense a biological event and control an amount of outwardly directed force applied by the implant to the lung in response to the biological event. Further, a method may include applying a force to an organ via an implant to expel material from the organ and adjusting the implant so as to transition between a first configuration and a second configuration. The implant may include at least one of an electro-active material and a pressure sensitive material.

    Abstract: A stent includes a tubular body formed of one or more interwoven wires, the tubular body having first and second opposing open ends and a lumen extending therebetween. The stent further includes a first anchor member disposed adjacent the first open end and a second anchor member disposed adjacent the second open end, the first and second anchor members each extending radially outward from the tubular body, the first and second anchor members each having an outer diameter larger than an outer diameter of the tubular body disposed between the first and second anchor members. A plurality of spacer members are disposed around the first open end and extending longitudinally beyond the first open end, wherein when a pulling force is applied to the spacer members, the outer diameter of the tubular body is not reduced.

    Abstract: Medical devices and related methods are described including a medical device including a tube defining a lumen and configured to couple to a source of suction, and a porous body coupled to a distal end of the tube. The porous body may include openings in fluid communication with the lumen. Upon application of a tension force to the porous body, at least a portion of the porous body may be configured to expand outward in a direction that is at least partially perpendicular to a direction of the tension force.

    Abstract: Medical devices and related methods useful for EVAC procedures are described. The medical device may include a sponge. The sponge may include a plurality of perforations that form one or more tear surfaces. The one or more tear surfaces may define a predefined location for removing a first portion of the sponge from a second portion of the sponge. The one or more tear surfaces may form a boundary between a radially inner surface of the first portion and a radially outer surface of the second portion. The medical device may further include a tube coupled to a proximal portion of the sponge.

    Abstract: A stent includes an elongated tubular member formed from at least one filament, the elongated tubular member including a first segment in which the at least one filament is knitted into a first knitted pattern providing the first segment with a first performance characteristic and a second segment in which the at least one filament is knitted into a second knitted pattern providing the second segment with a second performance characteristic different from the first performance characteristic. Either the first knitted pattern or the second knitted pattern includes a plurality of anti-migration loops that extend radially outwardly from the elongated tubular member.

    Abstract: According to one aspect, a medical system may include a laser source for providing laser energy. The medical system may also include a fluid source containing a fluid for absorbing the laser energy to generate heat. The medical system may further include a medical device operatively coupled to the laser source and the fluid source. The medical device may include a shaft having a distal end, and a cap at the distal end of the shaft. The cap may include a lens and a reflector for deflecting the laser energy toward the lens. The lens may be configured to emit the laser energy from the cap toward a target.
