Described herein is a medical device for treating a target site, the medical device including, a proximal end including a disc and a distal end including a lobe. The disc and the lobe are connected by a connecting member. The lobe includes a proximal portion defining a proximal surface of the lobe, a distal portion defining a distal surface of the lobe, and a middle portion connecting and extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion. A first transition between the proximal portion and the middle portion is curved, and a second transition between the middle portion and the distal portion is curved. The medical device also includes a plurality of stabilizing wires coupled to the lobe at a radially outer surface of the middle portion, each stabilizing wire including a hook portion extending radially outward from the at least one lobe.

A treatment system includes an insert that is resiliently deflectable. The tip portion of the insert can be configured to be coupled to the trailing portion of an implant. A guide tube having an internal lumen is configured to permit passage of the tip portion and the body portion of the insert through a guide tube. The guide tube can have a length that is less than that of the insert. Treatment systems include a plurality of inserts, each insert differing from in at least one of length, diameter, and curvature. Treating a patient can include sizing a fistula using an insert.

A method of manufacturing a reduced-pressure abdominal treatment system for treating an open abdominal cavity is provided. In some embodiments, the reduced-pressure abdominal treatment system has an open-cavity treatment device for providing reduced-pressure treatment to an abdominal cavity; a deep-tissue closure device for applying a closing force on a deep-tissue wound; and a surface-wound closure subsystem for providing a closing force on a surface wound. The method of manufacturing may also include providing a reduced-pressure supply subsystem. A method of treatment using a reduced-pressure abdominal treatment system is also disclosed.

A reduced-pressure, wound closure system is presented that generates a closing force on a surface wound and optionally provides reduced pressure to a body cavity or tissue site. The sealed contracting member, when placed under reduced pressure, generates the closing force. One illustrative system includes a first attachment member and a second attachment member, a sealed contracting member coupled to the first attachment member and the second attachment member, and wherein the closing force is generated between the first attachment member and the second attachment member when reduced pressure is supplied to the sealed contracting member. Other systems and methods are presented.

A vascular puncture sealing device includes a tube unit and a sealing unit. The tube unit includes an inner tube and an outer tube. The inner tube includes a first compartment therein. The outer tube includes a second compartment therein. The inner tube is slidably received in the second compartment. The sealing unit is coupled to an end of the inner tube. The sealing unit includes an abutting portion and an expansion portion. The abutting portion includes a first face and a second face opposite to the first face. The abutting portion further includes a through-hole extending from the first face through the second face. The expansion portion includes a chamber intercommunicated with the through-hole of the abutting portion.

An occlusion device may comprise a first tube having a first balloon positioned at a distal end, and a second tube having a second balloon positioned at a distal end. The first balloon may be sized and configured to occlude a vascular lumen upstream of a vascular puncture, and the second balloon may be sized and configured to simultaneously occlude the vascular lumen downstream of the vascular puncture. A method of occluding a vascular puncture may comprise positioning a distal end of an occlusion device comprising a first balloon and a second balloon through the vascular puncture and into a vascular lumen. The first balloon may be positioned downstream of the vascular puncture, and the second balloon may be positioning upstream of the vascular puncture.

Extracellular matrix (ECM) constructs having a biodegradable support scaffold and an anchoring mechanism, which includes a plurality of biodegradable microneedles that are capable of piercing tissue and anchoring therein. In a preferred embodiment, the support scaffold and anchoring mechanism comprise an ECM material. In some embodiments, the microneedles are also capable of administering a biologically active agent and/or a pharmacological composition to the engaged tissue.
摘要:
A biodegradable device for maintaining the alignment of the edges of a trocar defect, consisting of two bases joined by a connector, a first base to be positioned below the defect and a second base above. The first base has a threaded hole from its upper surface but not through the lower surface. The connector attached to the bases such that there is a hole aligned with the threaded hole in the first base allowing a device to mate with the threads in the first base. The second base has a hole aligned with the hole in the connector and wide enough to allow a device to mate with the threads in the first base. The device is arranged so the distance between the lower surface of the second base and upper surface of the first base holds but does not compress the fascia around the trocar defect.
摘要:
An implantable biodegradable device consisting of an inner button attached to a cylindrical segment, and an outer button attached to a retainment feature. The cylindrical segment is threaded on one end, with a surface groove. The retainment feature consists of radial strips with bent ends. The diameter of the radial strips is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cylinder. The bent ends fit into the groove. An insertion tool can attach to the threads in the cylinder and push the inner button through a wound, then, holding the inner button in place, push the outer button toward the inner button until the bent ends engage with the groove. The top of the threaded end of the cylindrical segment is adjacent to the back surface of the outer button when the bent ends of the retainment feature are engaged with the groove.
