  • Patent number: 10973523
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to medical devices, methods, and systems for delivering a medical device to a target site. In one embodiment, a medical device includes a proximal lobe and a distal lobe, at least one of the proximal lobe or the distal lobe configured to receive a delivery device therethrough. The medical device also includes a central engagement member disposed between the proximal lobe and the distal lobe, the central engagement member configured to be engaged by a delivery device for facilitating deployment of the proximal and distal lobes at the target site.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10028746
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to medical devices, methods, and systems for delivering a medical device to a target site. In one embodiment, a medical device includes a tubular member having a proximal end and a distal end, the tubular member having an expanded configuration and a relaxed configuration. The medical device further includes a tether comprising a first end and a second end, the first end coupled to the proximal end or the distal end of the tubular member. In addition, the medical device includes an engagement member coupled to the second end of the tether and disposed at least partially within the tubular member and between the proximal and distal ends of the tubular member in the relaxed configuration.

  • Patent number: 9427550
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to delivery devices, methods, and systems for delivering an implant to a target site. In one embodiment, a delivery device includes a core member defining a proximal end and a distal end and an outer winding defining a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the outer winding surrounds and is coupled to the core member. The outer winding extends at least partially between the proximal end of the core member and the distal end of the core member, and the outer winding is configured for displacement within a delivery catheter. The delivery device further includes a coupling member at the distal end of the core member configured to releasably attach to an implant.
