  • Tissue closure devices, device and systems for delivery, kits and methods therefor
    Patent number: 9345460
    Abstract: The present invention relates to wound closure devices, devices and systems for delivery, kits and methods therefor. The wound closure devices can achieve wound closure in lieu of compression and can be configured to be quickly deployable by an introducer or from outside the body.
    Type: Grant

  • Tuck and fold fascia shortening for incontinence
    Patent number: 6478791
    Abstract: Improved devices, methods, and systems for the surgical treatment of urinary incontinence generally enhance the support provided by the natural tissues of the pelvic floor without directly applying compressive pressure against the urethra. The invention provides probes for forming plications in the endopelvic fascia that are displaced laterally on either side of the midline. These probes can impose a predetermined level of trauma to the plicated tissues so as to promote the formation of adhesions. Adhesions can maintain the enhanced support provided by the plication after reabsorption of a temporary fastener (such as a reasborbable suture, staple, or the like). The plicating probe draws the tissue inward to provide a uniform plication within a predetermined size range.
