摘要:
A medical system for treating an internal tissue opening can include a closure device and associated delivery device. The closure device can include a body portion operatively associated with a first anchor and a second anchor. The body portion can include a plurality of segments defining a multi-cellular structure. The closure device can be configured to apply lateral force to tissue of the internal tissue opening to bring tissue together. The closure device can have a substantially flat aspect, and have a depth thickness that is substantially greater than the thickness or width of a majority of the members forming the closure device to reduce out of plane bending. The closure device can also include a member adapted to induce tissue growth.

The present invention is directed to various embodiments of medical devices and methods for occluding a fallopian tube for contraception and permanent sterilization. In one embodiment, the medical device includes an outer member, an inner member and a tissue growth member. The outer member includes an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the inner surface defines a bore in the outer member. The inner member is configured to be positioned within the bore of the outer member. The tissue growth member is attached to the outer surface of the outer member and is configured to induce tissue growth thereto. With this arrangement, the medical device can be implanted within the fallopian tube and serve as a permanent occluding device therein. If desired, the medical device can be partially removed from the fallopian tube to restore the ability for conception.

Several embodiments are set forth of devices, systems and methods for modifying an atrial appendage such as a left atrial appendage (LAA). In one embodiment, a device includes a body that is collapsible and self-expanding. The body includes a textured surface with protruding portions and recessed portions. The body may be formed of a reticulated foam material and may exhibit a substantially spherical geometry or a truncated spherical geometry. The body may be substantially hollow. In one embodiment, portions of the textured surface may be metalized or have a coating placed thereon to enhance frictional engagement of the body with the atrial appendage wall. In another embodiment, a mesh bag is disposed within an LAA and one or more self-expanding bodies are disposed within the mesh bag. The mesh bag is then secured to retain the self-expanding bodies within the bag and the LAA.

摘要:
A medical system for treating an internal tissue opening can include a closure device and associated delivery device. The closure device can include a body portion operatively associated with a first anchor and a second anchor. The body portion can include a plurality of segments defining a multi-cellular structure. A segment can define a variable width along a length of the segment to have a substantially equal stress level along the length when deflected. The closure device can be configured to apply lateral force to tissue of the internal tissue opening to bring tissue together for closure. The closure device can have a substantially flat aspect, and have a depth thickness that is substantially greater than the thickness or width of a majority of the members forming the closure device. The closure device can also include a member adapted to induce tissue growth.
