Abstract: A surgical access device and methods for facilitating access through an incision or wound to a surgical site in a patient's body comprising an inferior retention member, a superior retention member, and a pliable membrane therebetween. The pliable membrane includes a base layer, a permeable membrane attached to the base layer, and a fluid delivery region disposed between the layers. The fluid delivery region is fluidly coupled to a fluid source. The fluid is delivered to the surgical site via the permeable membrane. The inferior retention member provides for fluid removal from the surgical site. Methods are provided for use of the surgical access device to retract tissue and deliver fluid to the tissue from the pliable membrane.

Abstract: Versatile tissue collection devices that can provide reduced crossing profiles, fluid pressure release, and/or easy cleaning or removal. In particular, devices having tissue collection devices with multiple configurations to facilitate navigation through narrow vessel cross-sections while also providing adequate tissue storage capacity. Additionally, the devices may include detachable components that allow easy removal, cleaning, and replacement during a procedure. Furthermore, venting elements and sections may be included to relieve fluid buildup in storage reservoirs.

Abstract: A system for treating a diseased native valve in a patient includes a valve prosthesis and a delivery device. The prosthesis includes an anchor and a frame. The delivery device includes an outer sheath, an inner shaft, an anchor guide, and a tether. The anchor is shaped to encircle chordae or leaflets of a native valve. The frame is configured to sit within the anchor. The inner shaft is positioned within the outer sheath and translatable and rotatable relative to the outer sheath. The anchor guide is attached to a distal end of the inner shaft and has a curved distal section. The tether is configured to detachably couple to the anchor and to longitudinally translate the anchor within the inner shaft and anchor guide. The anchor is configured to be actuated from a delivery configuration to the deployed configuration when the anchor is translated out of the anchor guide.
