    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to active agent depots formed in situ and related methods. In various embodiments, a method of forming an active agent depot in situ is included. The method can include contacting a composition with a vessel wall, wherein the composition includes an active agent and a fibrin promoting vessel wall transfer agent wherein the ratio of active agent to fibrin promoting vessel wall transfer agent (wt./wt.) is at least 5:1. The method also includes transferring the composition from a device surface to the vessel wall surface. The method also includes forming a fibrin matrix around the composition. Other embodiments are also included herein.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein include an insertion tool for inserting a medical device into another medical device, such as a hemostasis sealing valve, and related methods. In an embodiment, an insertion tool includes a guide sheath and a protection tube. The guide sheath can include a flared proximal end. The guide sheath can further include a central lumen. The guide sheath can further include a locking notch disposed on the inner surface between the proximal end and the distal end. The protection tube can include a flared proximal end. A portion of the protection tube can be situated within the central lumen of the guide sheath. The flared proximal end of the protection tube can be sized to fit within the locking notch and can have an outer diameter larger than portions of the inner surface immediately adjacent to the locking notch. Other embodiments are also included herein.
