Publication number: 20230039987Abstract: Methods of forming a gel and related methods of treating subjects with such gels are described. The method may include preparing a composition by combining a macromer comprising a first polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based polymer, a poly(ethylenimine)-based polymer, or a poly(1,2-glycerol) carbonate-based polymer, the macromer including at least one first functional moiety, a crosslinking agent comprising a second PEG-based polymer that includes at least one second functional moiety, and a photoinitiator, and activating the photoinitiator via a light source to form the gel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Applicants: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc., Trustees of Boston UniversityInventors: Lauren S. Lydecker, Gerald Fredrickson, Samantha Berry, Katherine A. Cook, Mark Grinstaff

Publication number: 20220265968Abstract: A medical device comprising a first tube, a second tube configured to sheath at least a portion of the first tube and configured to translate along a length of the first tube, an expandable device at a distal portion of the first tube, the expandable device having a collapsed state and an expanded state, a patch surrounding at least a portion of an outer surface of the expandable device, and a connector for holding the patch to the expandable device when the second tube covers the patch and the expandable device and for releasing the patch from the expandable device after the second tube uncovers the patch and the expandable device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2022Publication date: August 25, 2022Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Jennifer WHELEHAN, Lauren S. LYDECKER, Gerald FREDRICKSON

Publication number: 20220202436Abstract: An elongated tissue traction device adhered to target tissue and configured to lift the target tissue away from surrounding tissue. The tissue traction device may lift the target tissue as a surgical procedure is performed, such as resecting or cutting of the target tissue. The tissue traction device may be a bistable spring. The tissue traction device is in a first stable configuration when initially adhered to the target tissue. The tissue traction device may be shifted (e.g., actuated) into the second configuration, such as when the tissue is resected or cut around the target tissue to which the tissue traction device is adhered. In the second stable configuration, the tissue traction device curls and lifts the target tissue from the surrounding tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2021Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventors: Nabarun Bhowmick, Deepak K. Sharma, Subodh Morey, Shrikant V. Raut, James J. Scutti, Lauren S. Lydecker, Barry Weitzner, James Weldon

Publication number: 20210022740Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to medical devices. More particularly, the present disclosure pertains to devices, systems, and methods for closing a wound, such as a tissue defect resulting from an endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection procedure. In one example, a device for closing a wound may include a closure element having a delivery configuration and a deployed configuration, the closure element configured to be disposed about an endcap of an endoscope in a delivery configuration. A release filament may have a distal end releasably coupled to the closure element and a proximal end extendable within the endcap. The closure element may be configured to substantially close about the wound in the deployed configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2020Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: John T. Favreau, Lauren S. Lydecker, Andrew Pic
