  • Publication number: 20220280166
    Abstract: A medical device including stabilizing members and a delivery system including the same are described herein. The medical device includes a device body and the stabilizing members coupled thereto. Each stabilizing member has a backing portion coupled to the device body and an engagement portion extending from an outward face of the backing portion. The engagement portion is configured to extend radially outward from the device body. The medical device also includes one or more features configured to control at least one of tissue penetration depth of the at least one engagement portion, extension of the stabilizing member from the device body, and tissue engagement of the at least one engagement portion. The delivery system includes the medical device and a delivery sheath configured to retain and recapture the medical device during deployment to a target site.

  • Publication number: 20220008050
    Abstract: Described herein is a medical device for treating a target site, the medical device including, a proximal end including a disc and a distal end including a lobe. The disc and the lobe are connected by a connecting member. The lobe includes a proximal portion defining a proximal surface of the lobe, a distal portion defining a distal surface of the lobe, and a middle portion connecting and extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion. A first transition between the proximal portion and the middle portion is curved, and a second transition between the middle portion and the distal portion is curved. The medical device also includes a plurality of stabilizing wires coupled to the lobe at a radially outer surface of the middle portion, each stabilizing wire including a hook portion extending radially outward from the at least one lobe.
