Patent number: 10292732Abstract: The present invention comprises systems, methods and devices for the delivery of compositions for occluding or of means for opening conduits. The implantable occlusive material may be delivered pre-formed or in situ cured and, may be a resorbable material that supports tissue ingrowth that eventually replaces the material leaving little or no original material in place. The delivery system is positioned to allow for placement of the occlusive material into the body conduit. Use of delivery systems, methods and devices for re-opening an occluded body conduit are also included.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2018Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Femasys, Inc.Inventors: Kathy Lee-Sepsick, Lani L.
