Abstract: Tissue closure systems are disclosed wherein one variation generally includes a handle, a proximal catheter segment extending from the handle, a deployment segment coupled to the proximal catheter segment, and a distal catheter segment pivotably coupled to the deployment segment such that the distal catheter segment is rotatable at an angle relative to the proximal catheter segment. A receiver member positioned within the deployment segment is configurable between a low-profile configuration and a deployed configuration. Two or more forward needle members and two or more rear needle members are extendable distally from a first side and a second side of the proximal catheter segment. The two or more forward needle members are receivable into the two or more openings along the first receiver portion and the two or more rear needle members are receivable into the two or more openings along the second receiver portion.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for removing material from patient vasculature. In some embodiments, an aspiration device may include a sheath and a catheter slidably disposed within the sheath and defining a lumen. The catheter may include a distal end portion and an elongate portion, the distal end portion being disposable adjacent to a clot, the elongate portion being couplable to a vacuum source that is configured to apply a negative pressure to the lumen to draw the clot into the distal end portion. The distal end portion may include a plurality of sections, each of the plurality of sections having a different cut pattern.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for aspiration and mechanical thrombectomy. In some embodiments, a thrombectomy device for removing a thrombus from a vessel can include a handle assembly, a vacuum source, an aspiration catheter with an expandable distal portion, and a flexible shaft configured to rotate within the aspiration catheter.

Abstract: A device for implanting a substance into subcutaneous tissue or the dermis of a patient can include a housing, a hypodermic needle, a rod, and a bolt-action rod displacement mechanism. The hypodermic needle can include a lumen that is preloaded with a dermal filler thread. The rod can be configured to fit within the lumen of the hypodermic needle. Upon displacement within the lumen, the rod can cause displacement of the dermal filler thread within the lumen. The bolt-action rod displacement mechanism can be configured to displace the rod within the lumen away from a starting position toward the dermal filler thread.

Abstract: Described are implants for placing in a body, tools for delivering the implants, and systems and methods for using implants and tools for placing in a body and more particularly to nasal implants, tools for delivering nasal implants, and systems and methods for using such implants and tools. A tool may include a hand-held implant delivery device that holds, moves, orients, inserts, or shapes an implant. An implant may be a biodegradable, longitudinal implant that may be oriented for implantation by an implant delivery device.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for treating a thrombosis. In some embodiments, an apparatus may include a sleeve defining a first lumen, and an aspiration catheter defining a second lumen, the aspiration catheter slidably disposed within the first lumen. The aspiration catheter may include a proximal end coupleable to a vacuum source configured to apply a vacuum pressure within the second lumen to draw a thrombus into the second lumen, and an expandable tip configured to transition between a retracted configuration in which the expandable tip is constrained within the sleeve and an expanded configuration in which at least a portion of the expandable tip is disposed distal to the sleeve. The expandable tip in the expanded configuration can have a funnel-shaped profile that gradually increases in diameter from a proximal end of the expandable tip to a distal end of the expandable tip.

Abstract: Visualization during medical procedures is provided using a visualization system comprising: a control device defining an upper surface and a lower surface; a display visible through the upper surface of the control device; a handle coupled to the lower surface and extending away from the lower surface; a knob coupled to the control device, the knob configured to rotate about a rotational axis; an imaging assembly mechanically coupled to the knob and communicatively coupled to the control device, the imaging assembly configured to rotate around the rotational axis based on rotation of the knob; and the control device configured to display an image on the display, the image captured by the imaging assembly.

Abstract: Nasal implants and nasal implant delivery tools are described herein. The nasal implants and tools can be used to deliver the implant in a minimally invasive way. The delivery tools can be adapted to separate the upper lateral cartilage from the septum and to place an implant between the septum and the upper lateral cartilage. The implant can be configured to be placed between the upper lateral cartilage and the septum. The implant system can include a first longitudinal body adapted to engage with upper lateral cartilage and the septum on a first side of the septum and a second longitudinal body adapted to engage with upper lateral cartilage and the septum on a second side of the septum.
