  • Publication number: 20160346008
    Abstract: 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: Application

  • Publication number: 20150113804
    Abstract: A system includes a tool having a first arm disposed along a motion plane, a hand-tool body coupled to the first arm, and a second arm rotatably coupled to the hand-tool body and disposed along the motion plane. The hand-tool body includes a first channel, a second channel, and a wire slot configured to receive an insulated wire, wherein the first channel intersects the second channel proximate to the wire slot. The second arm includes a stripping portion configured to reciprocate within the first channel, to cut insulation of the insulated wire, and to strip the insulation from an end portion of the insulated wire. The second arm also includes a crimping portion configured to reciprocate within the second channel and to crimp a terminal lug about the end portion of the insulated wire.
