    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A medical device for guiding through anatomy, such as a catheter or guidewire, with a tubular body that has been slotted to enhance bending flexibility, and a polymer liner with an anti-collapsing structure, and a method of making a medical device with a kink-resistant corrugated tubular member and an anti-collapsing structure. Anti collapsing structures may be helical or annular, and may be wire, such as ribbon wire, grooves in the liner, corrugations, or a braid. Liners may be bonded to the anti­collapsing structure, or may have two layers, with the anti-collapsing structure between the layers. Corrugations may be formed between sections of the anti-collapsing 'structure with heat, pressure, stretching, compression, a mold, or a combination thereof, and may extend inward or outward. Shape or wall thickness may vary along the length to provide a varying bending stiffness. Slots may be formed in groups of two, three, or more, and adjacent groups may be rotated about the axis forming a helical pattern.

    Abstract: 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.
