A system for occluding a dissection tear includes a stent and at least one occluder and is such configured that the stent and the occluder are separate from each other prior to the delivery of the system to a targeted site and connect to each other after the delivery of the system to the targeted site. The stent and the occluder are separately delivered and released in a diseased blood vessel to significantly reduce the resistance encountered during delivery and release of the stent and the occluder. Moreover, when introducing the occluder into the false lumen, only the profile of the occluder needs to be adjusted, resulting in a lowered surgical difficulty and an improved surgical success rate.

An occlusion device includes an elongate shaft; a lower jaw extending from a distal end of the elongate shaft; an upper jaw pivotably mounted relative to the lower jaw; and a control member at a proximal end of the elongate shaft, the control member being operatively associated with the upper jaw to cause pivot of the upper jaw relative to the lower jaw. A method is also disclosed.

A device and method is provided herein for esophageal impingement of a patient's aorta. The device may be inserted into a patient's esophagus and positioned at the location where the esophagus passes over the patient's aorta. In this position, an actuation device is used to apply pressure to the patient's aorta through their esophagus to impinge or occlude the aorta to stop or significantly reduce hemorrhaging. A manually operable actuator handle enables a physician to manipulate a head assembly of the device through three distinct degrees of freedom of movement so as to control placement and direction of force against the patient's esophagus and, in turn, their aorta.

A device for applying a tissue healing agent includes an insertion member extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and including a channel extending therethrough, a delivery element including a first surface and a second surface opposing one another, the delivery element movable between a closed configuration, in which the delivery element is compressed to be received within the channel, and an open configuration, in which the delivery element is substantially planar, and a first tissue healing agent formed in a sheet configuration and disposed on the first surface of the delivery element.

The present invention provides a clip system that is optimal for suture treatment of living tissue. The clip system includes a clip unit having a first arm and a second arm capable of opening and closing, a wire capable of opening and closing the clip, and a sheath through which the wire can be inserted. The clip unit includes a support portion that swingably supports the first arm and the second arm.

A device and assembly for ligating a target tissue to restrict blood flow to the tissue, where the device is a ligating device that is irreversibly tightened by a cinch component. The device further has a hook to hold the ligating element on a delivery tool. The ligating element can be a continuous loop or can be a clip and can be repositionable until the cinch is used to tighten it. The cinch holds the ligating device on the loop while being positioned, and then secures the ligating device once it is positioned around target tissue to which a user desires to restrict blood flow. A method of using the assembly includes an actuator assembly, drive wire, and pusher element to manipulate the ligating device and cinch component.

A haemostatic device for treating post-operative bleeding of the prostatic cavity, having a body or catheter having a first canal in fluidic communication with a first inflatable balloon formed on the body. The balloon and canal are positionable inside the bladder against the back of the bladder and configured to apply a determined pressure, in the inflated state, on the prostatic cavity to block off and isolate the prostatic cavity, to reduce its volume and to occlude the blood vessels in its cavity wall. The body includes a second canal fluidically connected to a second balloon, extend in the prostatic cavity while conforming to the irregularities of the prostatic cavity. The device has a tensioning tube for easy insertion of the penis in the flaccid state, without compressing the walls of the penis or the glans, having a longitudinal slot extending between two ends of the tensioning tube.

A compression device includes: an adhesive sheet having an adhesion surface; and a compression member. The compression member includes: a pressing body configured to press a biological surface; and a holding body fixed to the adhesive sheet and configured to hold the pressing body to be extendable. The pressing body includes: an inflatable portion that is inflatable; and an extending portion extending from the inflatable portion and wound around the holding body to extend from the inflatable portion to an upper surface side of the holding body with the holding body interposed therebetween. The extending portion includes a light-transmitting portion having translucency in the thickness direction at a position covering an upper surface of the holding body. The holding body includes, at a position overlapping with the light-transmitting portion of the extending portion in a plan view, a marker portion configured to be visually identified.

Disclosed are methods and devices for obtaining patent hemostasis of the radial artery by compressing the ipsilateral ulnar artery to increase radial artery flow. Also disclosed are methods, devices and system for minimizing radial artery occlusion when performing complex PCI procedure using transradial access and transradial catheterization using a large bore sheath. The device comprises a band having at least two inflatable bladders, at least one inflatable bladder used for applying pressure to the radial artery. and at least one inflatable bladder used for applying pressure to the ipsilateral ulnar artery.

A device for use with a uterine tamponade balloon catheter apparatus, such as the Bakri postpartum hemorrhage balloon, is disclosed. The device comprises a stylet comprising a hub at its proximal end and an atraumatic tip at its distal end. The device is configured to be removably coupled to the tamponade balloon catheter apparatus to aid in the insertion and positioning of the tamponade balloon catheter within the uterine cavity, allowing the balloon to function as intended for the control and management of postpartum hemorrhage and uterine bleeding. The tamponade balloon catheter includes an echogenic element to aid in visualization by ultrasound during insertion and use. Methods of use of the device are also disclosed.
