    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to medical devices. More particularly, the present disclosure pertains to devices, systems, and methods for securing tissue, such as a tissue defect or wound resulting from an endoscopic procedure, e.g., an endoscopic mucosal resection or submucosal dissection procedure. In one example, a device for securing tissue may include a loop portion configured to be disposed about a distal end of a delivery device in a delivery configuration and configured to be secured about the tissue in a deployed configuration. A locking member may be disposed on the loop portion. A tether portion having a proximal end extendable proximally within the delivery device and a distal portion extending from the loop portion slidably through the locking member.

    Abstract: A method for producing cardiomyocyte cells including implanting a substrate within a heart such that a first portion of the substrate is in physical contact with an endocardium and a second portion of the substrate is not in contact with the endocardium, maintaining the first portion of the substrate in contact with the endocardium for a time at least sufficient to form trabecular fibers extending between the endocardium and the second portion of the substrate, cutting away the trabecular fibers from the endocardium, cutting away the trabecular fibers from the substrate, and removing the trabecular fibers from the heart, wherein the trabecular fibers include cardiomyocyte cells.

    Abstract: An anchor and suture assembly is provided for use with an endoscopic suturing device with a needle holder arm. The anchor assembly includes an anchor tip and an anchor body. The anchor tip has a blunt end that may be rounded or beaded, a capture groove, a tab groove and a plug portion positioned between the capture groove and the tab groove. The anchor body has first and second ends, tip tabs, retainers for removably retaining the anchor body relative to the needle holder arm, and a suture opening. The anchor tip is fixed relative to the anchor body by plastic deformation of the tip tabs into the tab groove. A suture extends into the suture opening of the anchor body and is fixed therein.

    Abstract: An implantable fluid operated inflatable device may include a fluid reservoir configured to hold fluid, an inflatable member, and fluidics architecture that provides for transfer of fluid between the fluid reservoir and the inflatable member. The fluid reservoir, the inflatable member, and the fluidics architecture may be included in a single unit, or a single housing, thus providing for a relatively compact implantable fluid operated inflatable device. The relatively simple, compact device provides for simplified insertion into the patient, and for simplified operation by the user.

    Abstract: An example medical device is disclosed. The example medical device includes a shaft having a proximal end region, a distal end region and an outer surface. The medical device also includes a hemostasis clip coupled to the outer surface of the distal end region of the shaft, wherein the hemostasis clip is configured to shift between an open position and a closed position. Further, the medical device includes a tension member coupled to the hemostasis clip, wherein actuation of the tension member shifts the hemostasis clip between the open position and the closed position.
