Patch (1) for sealing an amniotic membrane, wherein the patch (1) comprises a support (11) and an adhesive (12) that is activated in presence of amniotic liquid or a wet environment. Device for placing said patch (1) comprising a cannula (2) for inserting said patch (1) in a rolled-up position, said cannula (2) being provided with a handle (3); and a dipstick (4) provided with a pusher (5), said dipstick (4) being inserted inside the cannula (2) in the use position. The patch adheres efficiently on the amniotic membrane, adapts to the elastic properties of this membrane, and by attaching only to the amnion it does not interfere with the natural sliding movements of one membrane against each other, together with the device to ensure that the patch is placed in the proper position without damaging the membrane.

Devices, systems, and methods for treating vascular defects are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present technology, for example, includes an occlusive device comprising an expandable mesh including an outer mesh and an inner mesh disposed within the outer mesh when the mesh is in an expanded, unconstrained state. The mesh may include a connection portion positioned at or within an inner cavity of the inner mesh and configured to be detachably coupled to a delivery member. The inner cavity may be configured to receive a distal portion of an elongated shaft and contain the distal portion while one or more coils is delivered through the elongated shaft into the inner cavity.

A surgical end effector comprising a staple cartridge, an anvil, and a compressible portion intermediate the staple cartridge and the anvil is disclosed. The compressible portion comprises a plurality of tubular members.

A package (10a) for containing a medical device (12a) including a front sheet (14a) and a back sheet (15a) wherein each includes a top edge (18a, 23a), a bottom edge (19a) and opposed first (20a, 24a) and second side edges (21a, 25a), the sheets being sealed to each other by a peelable peripheral seal (26a), having a top seal zone (27a), bottom seal zone (28a), and opposed first (29a) and second side seal zones (30a), the sheets being separated to open the package by at least partially peeling the sheets apart along the first and second side seal zones; a first peel-stop (31a) located in the first side seal zone and a second peel-stop (32a) located in the second side seal zone of the peripheral seal, wherein the first and second peel-stops limit peeling of the first and second side seal zones of the peripheral seal.

Systems and methods can remove material of interest, including blood clots, from a body region, including but not limited to the circulatory system for the treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), cerebrovascular embolism, and other vascular occlusions.

A specimen retrieval device includes a tubular body, an inner shaft slidably positioned within a longitudinal bore of the tubular body, and a specimen bag supported on the distal portion of the inner shaft. In embodiments, the tubular body tubular body is formed of a lubricious material. The specimen bag is formed from a pattern and welded by a radiofrequency welder. The specimen bag includes a tail section through which the inner shaft passes, and the tail section may be attached to a handle at a proximal portion of the inner shaft.

The disclosed technology includes a detachment system for delivering an implantable medical device to a target location of a body vessel including a proximal delivery tube, a distal delivery tube, and a braid segment disposed between. The distal tube includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a compressible portion of the tube itself, between the proximal and distal ends which is axially movable from a compressed to an elongated condition. The proximal tube has a proximal end and a distal end. The braid segment is formed from a plurality of wires. An engagement system engages and deploys the implantable medical device engaged at the distal end of the distal tube.

A delivery member is provided for delivering and deploying an intravascular medical device. The delivery member includes a flexible distal portion including a wound wire coil surrounded by a flexible sleeve and inhibited from extending lengthwise by a stretch resistant member positioned through the lumen of the coil. The delivery member can include hypotubes positioned on either side (distally and proximally) from the wound wire coil to which the stretch resistant member and the wound wire coil can be attached.

A buttress material for use with a surgical staple cartridge. In various forms, the buttress material comprises a buttress body that is sized to be operably received on a deck of the surgical staple cartridge. The buttress body includes at least four edges and a central portion. At least two of the edges have a plurality of edge notches formed therein. The central portion may include a plurality of cutout openings therein.

A defect hole closing material achieves low invasive treatment for an atrial septal defect with almost no fear of long-term failure. The defect hole closing material is formed by two cylindrical bodies (a first cylinder part and a second cylinder part) having stitch-like structures of a bioabsorbable material, has a sandglass shape, and includes a coil spring both ends of which are respectively engaged with a first end part and a second end part and is passed through inner parts of the first cylinder part and the second cylinder part from a side of the first end part to a side of the second end part via a substantially central part. An outer cylindrical body is provided at an outermost layer so as to cover a whole of the two cylindrical bodies from an outer side, the outer cylindrical body is a cylinder-shaped body obtained by knitting a bioabsorbable material, and both ends thereof are respectively joined to both ends of the two cylindrical bodies.
