An endoscopic clip device for closure of a mucosal defect or transmural perforation in a gastrointestinal wall may include a sleeve and a clip disposed at least partially within and coupled to the sleeve. The clip may be configured for reversibly moving between an open configuration for positioning relative to the wall and a closed configuration for closing the defect or perforation. The clip may include a first clip arm configured for engaging the mucosal and submucosal layers of the wall and including a first needle extending to a distal end of the first clip arm and configured for advancing through the mucosal layer and into at least the submucosal layer, and a second clip arm disposed opposite the first clip arm and configured for engaging the mucosal layer. The device may be configured for advancing through an operative channel of an endoscope or overtube having a tortuous shape.

A device for applying a hemostatic clip assembly includes a proximal delivery catheter having a handle assembly and an elongated catheter body defining a longitudinal axis extending distally from the handle assembly, and a distal clip assembly removably connected to a distal end of the catheter body. The distal clip assembly includes a distal clip housing, a jaw assembly and a jaw adapter yoke. The jaw assembly has a pair of jaw members fixed to the distal clip housing by a first pin oriented orthogonally relative to the longitudinal axis. The jaw adapter yoke is operatively connected to the jaw members. The proximal delivery catheter is configured to transmit linear motion along and torsion about the longitudinal axis to at least a portion of the distal clip assembly. At least one of the jaw members is configured to rotate about the first pin between an open and a closed configuration.

A hemostatic device is disclosed. The hemostatic device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a balloon which is expanded by a fluid supplied therein; a blood discharge pipe which includes a blood inflow hole at one end and exposes the other end to a lower side of the balloon wherein a certain section of a lower side of the blood inflow hole is surrounded by the balloon; and a fluid flow pipe communicating with the inside of the balloon for supplying or discharging the fluid and extending to a lower side of the balloon. The balloon includes a plurality of protrusions that are formed to protrude outward when the balloon is expanded by the fluid.

A laparoscopic staged hepatectomy using round-the-liver ligation is carried out includes: (1) a laparoscopic operation is performed with general anesthesia using round-the-liver ligation, the branches of the portal vein of the hemiliver are ligated, a tourniquet is used to tighten the connecting part between the right and left hemilivers to block the communicating blood flow between the hemiliver to be removed and the hemiliver to be reserved, a drainage tube is put into the peritoneal cavity, then close the peritoneal cavity; (2) the patient gradually resumes eating after the first operation, and recuperate to make the volume of the hemiliver increase to an expected volume; (3) after the hemiliver increases to the expected volume, a laparoscopic liver resection is carried out with general anesthesia to remove the diseased hemiliver, and then the patient is nursed to be completely recovered. An instrument for implementing the laparoscopic staged hepatectomy is also disclosed.

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.

A bleeding control device for mitigating bleeding includes an outer storage container housing, a compressed gas canister, wound blocking contents and a control element. The bleeding control device may be used to deliver variable contents to a wound at the site of injury to control the bleeding of a victim as temporary solution for mitigating the bleeding until more advanced medical care can be provided. A bleeding control device includes a canister housing, a compressed gas canister arranged within the canister housing, a tube connected to the canister housing, an inflatable balloon disposed on the tube, the inflatable balloon being fluidly connected to the compressed gas canister, and a control element configured to activate the compressed gas canister to inflate the inflatable balloon.

The disclosure relates to a hemostatic device (1) comprising at least a first chamber (100) configured to be fluidically connected to a fluid source and a second chamber (200) configured to be fluidically connected to a vacuum source, wherein the hemostatic device comprises a first membrane (201) fluidically isolating the second chamber (200) from the first chamber (100) and a second membrane (202) configured to be placed so as to face, at least partially, a bleeding area of a natural body cavity, the second membrane (202) comprising a plurality of through holes (203) leading into the second chamber (200) and configured to induce a negative pressure in the natural body cavity when a negative pressure is applied in the second chamber (200) by the vacuum source, the induced negative pressure being configured so that the walls of the natural body cavity are attracted to the second membrane (202).

An adhesive pad for use with a hemostasis device comprising a footplate having a top surface and a receiving device positioned on the footplate, the adhesive pad comprising: (1) a flexible backing layer having a bottom surface, a central portion having an opening, a first side portion, and a second side portion; (2) an adhesive layer applied to the bottom surface of the backing layer; and (3) a release layer removably secured to the adhesive layer. The opening in the central portion of the backing layer is sized to fit the receiving device of the hemostasis device, and the adhesive layer applied to the bottom surface of the first and second side portions of the backing layer is configured to adhere to and extend beyond the top surface of the footplate.

The present invention relates to a compression aid for compressing a puncture site of a patient, wherein the compression aid comprises a peripheral band whose circumference can be adjusted, with a constant force spring being arranged in the peripheral band.
