Abstract: A catheter including a plurality of balloons extending from the outer surface of the catheter that when inflated create a seal between the catheter and the patient's thereby eliminating leakage of fluids from around catheter during the procedure.

Abstract: The present application discloses a handle configured to receive a catheter. The handle comprises a port that communicates with a lumen of the catheter and a mechanism is provided that moves the end of the catheter for positioning. The guide wire traverses a reservoir located in the handle. In particular, the handle comprises an enclosure with a conduit and a reservoir, where the conduit extends through the enclosure from the left side to the right side and the reservoir space has a curved or concave base. The bottom side and top side of the handle converge into a tapered point on the left side.

Abstract: A device and method for delivering a graft or synthetic mesh for anatomical repair to the repair site, with the graft or synthetic mesh in position for attachment to repair the defect. A plurality of spaced apart, flexible fingers is connected to the graft or synthetic mesh. The flexible fingers are initially in a position that is generally parallel to a direction of travel of the actuator. The actuator moves the plurality of flexible fingers from the initial to form a radial array, which opens or extends the graft or synthetic mesh. The graft or synthetic mesh may then be attached. A novel trocar is disclosed that is useful with the device. A measuring device including a measuring scale that is useful for determining the required size of the graft is also disclosed.
