An implantable prosthesis is provided for repairing a fistula, such as an anal fistula. The prosthesis or fistula repair device may include a body with a shape configured for placement in the fistula. The prosthesis may also include an anchor or base that is located at one or both ends of the body to facilitate anchoring the prosthesis in position. The prosthesis may include one or more channels to create one or more pathways for drainage and/or irrigation of the fistula. The channel may have a relatively uniform dimension along its length or a tapered shape that increases along its length. The prosthesis may have an adjustable length for accommodating fistula tracts of varying lengths. The prosthesis may include elongated body segments that provide a wicking or capillary function to facilitate drainage of the fistula tract.

A fistula treatment system comprises a guide such as a guide coil 1101 which is adapted to extend partially around a tissue tract and an implant element 1102. The implant element 1102 is activated to draw tissue surrounding the tract inwardly.

Tissue plugs for occlusion of hollow anatomical structures and methods for their use are provided.

Embodiments relate to a system for providing a first fluid and a second fluid. The system includes a catheter hub, a flexible cover, and a catheter. The flexible cover is configured to attach to the catheter hub and provide a seal therewith. The catheter is configured to be at least partially arranged within the catheter hub and the flexible cover and pass through the seal. The catheter includes a primary lumen and a secondary lumen, wherein the primary lumen is configured to provide the first fluid at a distal end of the catheter, and the secondary lumen is configured to provide the second fluid at each of a plurality of apertures arranged on an outer radial wall of the catheter.

An implantable drug delivery device includes a biodegradable substrate and polymeric nanoparticles containing a therapeutic agent affixed to the biodegradable substrate. A method of preventing or reversing vascular hemodialysis access dysfunction includes wrapping an anastomosis injury site with the implantable drug delivery device. A method of making the implantable drug delivery device includes forming a substrate; forming nanoparticles containing a therapeutic agent by encapsulation and/or from an emulsion; and applying the nanoparticles to the substrate.

An occlusive device includes a frame element having a distal end and a proximal end, and a delivery configuration and a deployed configuration. The occlusive device also includes an occlusive face having a peripheral edge, where the occlusive face positioned toward the proximal end of the frame element. The occlusive device also includes at least one anchor positioned at the peripheral edge of the occlusive face, where the at least one anchor extends at an acute angle to the peripheral edge of the occlusive face.

A method and device for positioning an expandable support in a blood vessel is disclosed herein. The device may include a handle, a catheter assembly, a core wire, and an expandable support. The expandable support may be used to position the device relative to the arteriotomy, as well as to provide temporary hemostasis. The expandable support may be attached to the catheter assembly at a first end, and to the core wire at a second end to optimize the width of the expandable support based on the function being performed by the expandable support at a given time. The catheter assembly may be able to move relative to the handle and the core wire, thereby moving the first end of the expandable support relative to the handle and the core wire.

Vascular treatment devices and methods include a woven structure including a plurality of bulbs that may be self-expanding, a hypotube, for example including interspersed patterns of longitudinally spaced rows of kerfs, and a bonding zone between the woven structure and the hypotube. The woven structure may include patterns of radiopaque filaments measureable under x-ray. Structures may be heat treated to include various shapes at different temperatures. The woven structure may be deployable to implant in a vessel. A catheter may include a hypotube including interspersed patterns of longitudinally spaced rows of kerfs and optionally a balloon. Laser cutting systems may include fluid flow systems.
