摘要:
A transluminal approach through a natural body cavity to repair a ventral hernia is provided. In a transgastric approach, the abdominal cavity is accessed via an incision through a wall of the digestive tract. A system for the deployment of tissue anchors to anchor a tissue reinforcing mesh to repair the ventral hernia is provided. Particular tissue anchors are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the tissue anchors include a shaft and a head reconfigurably coupled to the shaft permitting the head and shaft to be in a substantially parallel loaded configuration and in a substantially transverse deployed configuration. In addition, tissue anchors may include biodegradable and non-biodegradable components, with the non-biodegradable component defining spaces for soft tissue ingrowth upon degradation of the biodegradable component.

Devices, systems and methods are provided for performing embolization procedures in a desired area of the body. Systems include embodiments of embolization devices having increased durability, flexibility, conformability and surface area that include elongate primary coils that are formed from helically wound elongate initial coils which are formed from helically wound metallic wire and delivery systems used to position the embolization devices at a target location within a lumen of a mammal.

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

Devices, systems and methods are provided for performing implantation procedures in a desired area of the body. Systems include embodiments of medical implants that include scaffold and inflatable portions and delivery systems to position and release the medical implants at a target location within the body.
摘要:
A medical implant deployment system for placing an implant at a preselected site within a vessel, duct or body lumen of a mammal. The deployment system includes a heating element at the distal end of a positioning member and a thermal responsive coupling including a thermal responsive element connected to the implant by a frangible member. After positioning the implant, the heating element is activated which causes the thermal responsive element to apply mechanical force sufficient to break the frangible member using traction, thereby releasing the implant at a desired position within the body.
