    Abstract: Disclosed is an occluder for closing an intracardiac defect, such as a patent foramen ovale (PFO), and a method for making the same. The occluder includes a frame and at least one scaffold which are formed from a bioabsorbable polymer, such as poly-4-hydroxybutyrate. The surface of the frame and scaffold are textured to promote cell attachment. Texturing of the surface can be achieved by any number of mechanical or chemical procedures. The device is coated with collagen and heparin which are covalently bound to the surface of the device. The occluder provides improved defect closure compared to other septal occluders known in the art. In particular, the occluder described is specifically designed to improve host cell attachment to and tissue ingrowth over the device when implanted in a patient as compared to the level of host cell attachment and tissue ingrowth achieved with other implantable devices made of bioabsorbable polymers.

    Abstract: This application relates to a syringe-activated valve (100) for flushing a catheter for delivering an implant to an anatomical site, such as a patent foramen ovale in a patient and method thereof . In one embodiment, a catheter includes a proximal end, a distal end, a "Y" connector (320) at the proximal end, the "Y" connector having a guide wire port (301) and a connector port (310), a syringe activated valve having a first end and a second end, the second end of syringe-activated valve connecting to the connector port of the "Y" connector, and a syringe (200) connecting to the first end of the syringe-activated valve. Saline is injected by the syringe through the syringe-activated valve into the proximal end of the catheter, thereby flushing air from the catheter lumen out of the distal end of the catheter.

    Abstract: A hemostasis valve includes a single gland (16) with multiple offset longitudinal slits (32/34) that do no extend through the gland (16) completely. The multiple slits (32/34) from a complex pathway for the guide dilator/catheter (58) and thus a better seal. The offset slits (32/34) are joined by a lateral cut (36) in the gland. When a guide wire or dilator/catheter (58) is introduced into the introducer, the gland (16) deforms sufficiently to allow the guide wire or other device (58) to move through the first slits (32), the lateral cut (36) and the second slits (34). This complex pathway or slit provides a larger sealing surface thereby creating a better seal. As a result, effective seals may be formed around relatively large, as compared to the inner diameter of an introducer sheath, catheters.
