Abstract: A medical device including an application device with a first fluid path and a container movably attached to the application device. The container and the application device have a second fluid path therethrough, the container includes an inner chamber that is intermediate proximal and distal portions of the second fluid path, the inner chamber is fluidly isolated from the proximal portion of the second fluid path at a first position of the container, and the inner chamber is fluidly coupled to the proximal and distal portions of the second fluid path at a second position of the container. The first fluid path bypasses the container and the passage of fluid through the first fluid path is separately controllable from the passage of fluid through the second fluid path.

Abstract: A system for treating tissue includes a capsule including a channel extending therethrough; first and second clip arms each extending from a proximal end to a distal end, the proximal ends being received within the channel of a capsule to be moved between an open tissue receiving configuration; and a closed tissue clipping configuration. The first clip arm includes a first tissue retention feature at a distal portion thereof configured to pierce through a target tissue when in the tissue clipping configuration and subsequently release the target tissue when the clip arms are moved to an at least partially open configuration. The second clip arm includes a second tissue retention feature at a distal portion thereof configured to pierce and retain the target tissue thereon when in both the closed tissue clipping configuration and the open tissue receiving configuration.

Abstract: A medical device for treating a body lumen, such as a medical stent, includes an expandable scaffold configured to shift from a radially collapsed state to a radially expanded state. The stent includes a coating disposed along the outer surface of the expandable scaffold in which a portion of the coating includes a plurality of anti-migration members and one or more preferential separation regions. Each preferential separation region is configured to permit first and second regions of the coating to separate from one another along the preferential separation region therebetween as the expandable scaffold shifts from the radially collapsed state to the radially expanded state.

Abstract: A device for treating tissue includes a capsule extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and including a channel extending therethrough, the capsule releasably coupled to a proximal portion of the device and clip jaws, proximal ends of which are slidably received within the channel of the capsule so that the clip jaws are movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. Clip jaws are configured so that a distance between the distal ends of the clip jaws in an open configuration is between 15 and 18 millimeters. Clip jaws further include barbs extending from a distal portion thereof.

Abstract: A tissue treating device includes a capsule and first and second clip arms each having a proximal end received within the capsule for movement between an open configuration and a closed configuration. A tissue retention feature extends radially inward from each arm to grip tissue in the tissue clipping configuration and release the tissue in the open configuration. The retention features are coupled to the arms via curved portions. The second clip arm includes a second tissue retention feature extending radially inward from the first portion of the second clip arm toward the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A medical device including a handle body having a proximal end and a distal end, a spool on the handle body and to move between the distal end and the proximal end of the handle body, a catheter extending from the distal end of the handle body, an actuator attached to the spool and extending through the catheter, such that the actuator is removably connected to one or more dispensable devices at a distal end of the catheter, a spool controller to prevent connection with another of the dispensable devices to the actuator after a predetermined number of dispensable devices have been dispensed by the medical device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of tissue closures including medical devices that close openings in tissue during a surgical procedure. In particular, the present disclosure relates to devices that transition from a constrained to an unconstrained configuration to engage tissue on opposing sides of a tissue opening, and hold opposing tissue portions together to maintain the opening in a closed configuration.
