Abstract: In various aspects, present disclosure is directed to methods, devices and systems whereby one or more low viscosity fluids may be introduced into a catheter and whereby the one or more low viscosity fluids may be converted into a high viscosity fluid in the catheter, which high viscosity fluid may be delivered from an exit port of the catheter.

Abstract: Dual-lumen catheters for actively mixing two or more fluid components such that they react to form a more viscous pre-polymer formulation at or near the distal tip of the catheter are describe herein. The mixing dynamics within the dual-lumen catheter may be varied depending on the relative viscosity of each individual fluid component, as well as the viscosity of the resulting pre-polymer formulation.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for the targeted delivery of a therapeutic agent using expandable devices that are temporarily or permanently placed within the body. Such therapeutic agents may be delivered as a coating on the outer surface of the expandable device. Once positioned at a desired location within the body, the device is expanded such that its drug-coated outer surface establishes direct contact with a target tissue. The expanded device remains in contact with the target tissue for a pre-determined amount of time prior to being withdrawn from the body. Delivery of the therapeutic agent using the expandable device may be followed, or preceded, by delivery of a second expandable device to the same location within the body.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to stents for insertion into bodily lumens that include at least one strand that forms a self-expanding tubular structure. Specifically, these strands form a plurality of intersections at which one portion of the strand is in proximity to another portion of the same or different strand. More specifically, at least some of those intersections include a plurality of reinforcement members.

Abstract: Disclosed is a self-expanding medical implant for placement within a lumen of a patient. The implant comprises a woven or non-woven structure having a substantially tubular configuration, and is designed to be low-profile such that it is deliverable with a small diameter catheter. The implant has a high recoverability and desirable mechanical properties.

Abstract: A catheter device includes an elongate tubular housing, a cannula, and a flexible proboscis. The cannula defines a cannula lumen which is in fluid communication with a cannula exit port located adjacent the distal end of the elongate housing. The distal tip of the cannula is disposed within the cannula lumen. The cannula defines a proboscis lumen and the cannula has a proboscis exit port in fluid communication with the proboscis lumen. The proboscis exit port is located at the distal tip of the cannula. The flexible proboscis has a distal tip and is disposed within the proboscis lumen.
