    摘要: A suturing device and method allows a physician to remotely suture biological tissue. The device includes an elongate body, first and second arms operably connected to the elongated body, whereby each arm mounts an end portion of a suture, and first and second needles, each needle having a distal end and being mounted such that the distal end of the needle is movable to engage respective end portions of said suture. The suturing apparatus further includes an actuator which drives the needles to engage the suture. The suturing apparatus further includes an occluding device operably connected to the elongate body such that the occluding device may be advanced from the distal end of the elongate body to temporarily occlude the incision to be sutured.

    摘要: A knot-tying assist device allows a physician to remotely tie and cinch a knot in two ends of a suture extending from an incision in a vessel or organ of a patient in order to seal an opening in the vessel or organ. The knot-tying assist device includes a first receiving portion and a second receiving portion spaced apart along the device for receiving and holding the two ends of the suture. The receiving portions may hold the suture ends loosely, or alternatively may hold the suture ends under tension to facilitate tying the knot. The knot-tying device further includes an engagement portion to stabilize the knot-tying assist device relative to the treatment location. The engagement portion may assist in maintaining tension on the two suture ends so that the suture can hold the incision closed prior to the knot being tied and cinched.

    摘要: A suturing device allows a physician to remotely seal an incision in a blood vessel or other biological tissue. The device comprises an elongated tubular body having a distal portion which is adapted to be inserted percutaneously through the incision and into the blood vessel. The distal portion has first and second retractable arms which extend from the distal portion of the body and releasably hold a suture within the blood vessel. First and second retractable needles, each of which is configured to catch the suture from a respective arm, are provided along the body proximal to the retractable arms. The arms and the needles are remotely movable by the physician using a handle or other control mechanism provided at a distal portion of the device. In operation, the arms are initially deployed within the blood vessel to hold the ends of the suture beyond the circumference of the tubular body. The needles are then deployed from and then retracted into the body, during which time the needles pierce the vessel wall on opposite sides of the incision, release the suture ends from the retractable arms, and pull the suture through the vessel wall. The device is particularly useful for closing an incision in an artery following a catheterization procedure. In one embodiment, the catheter sheath introducer (CSI) used to perform the catheterization procedure is left in place during the suturing procedure.

    摘要: A device and method are disclosed for partially occluding a blood vessel such that an area of hemostasis within the blood vessel is created without interrupting the blood flow through the blood vessel. The device comprises a first and second occlusive members for partially occluding a blood vessel, spaced apart from one another, wherein the occlusive members are inflatable to at least the inner diameter of the blood vessel. A tubular connector interconnects the first and second occlusive members and forms a conduit which allows the blood to flow through. When the occlusive members are inflated, an area of hemostasis is created between an outer surface of the tubular connector and an inner wall of the blood vessel while blood continues to flow through the tubular portion. A tube adapted to extend through an opening in the blood vessel to deploy the device includes multiple lumens, such as an inflation lumen to inflate the device and a suture lumen to collapse the device.

    摘要: A knot placement device allows a physician to apply a knot for securing two or more suture ends extending from an incision in a vessel or organ of a patient relative to each other in order to seal an opening in the vessel or organ. The knot placement device has a handle and an elongate shaft and a push rod slidably inserted in said shaft. A knot is disposed in the distal end of the shaft. An actuator on the handle may be depressed to distally advance said push rod relative to said shaft and thereby distally advance said knot. The knot may include a knot body having an inner cavity and a plug sized to fit securely within the inner cavity. In use, the plug may be inserted into the inner cavity of the knot body to fixedly hold two or more suture ends between the knot body and the plug.

    摘要: A device and method for enlarging and supporting a body cavity are disclosed. One embodiment of the device comprises a tubular, distending balloon having first and second distending members, spaced apart from one another, wherein the distending members are inflatable. A tubular connector interconnects the first and second distending members and forms a conduit which allows for unimpeded passage of objects through the balloon. The balloon is adapted to be inserted into a body cavity in a deflated or semi-deflated state. When the distending members are inflated, an outer surface of the balloon exerts pressure on an interior surface of the body cavity, thereby supporting the body cavity in a distended state while allowing for unimpeded passage of medical instrument and biological material through the balloon.
