Delivery systems and methods for forming and delivering biomaterials from two components are described herein. In particular, apparatus and methods for performing controlled delivery of multicomponent delivery of biomaterials into or onto a body part, such as a body lumen are described. More specifically, in some embodiments, the apparatus and methods are directed towards controlled delivery of micro-volumes of biomaterials into or onto a target location, the micro-volumes being defined as 0.001 mL-1 mL (or 1 μL-1,000 μL) of volume.

An occlusion device has spaced struts connected by end members and is covered with a sheath. An actuator runs through the frame defined by the struts and end members. The struts are delivered in tension and allowed to relax to flex outwardly for fixation. The struts can also be placed in a relaxed condition and then flexed with relative movement of the end members when coming closer together. The set position of the struts is locked. The actuator can be at least in part removed after the struts flex. An anchor can be placed proximally to the frame and it contains spaced elongated members connected into a tubular shape with circumferential bands that have bends for flexibility to collapse for insertion and expand when placed in the lumen.

According to the invention, an uterotubal implant device is provided. Said uterotubal implant device comprises at least two compressible self-expanding bodies which are composed of a grid structure and are coupled to one another in a longitudinal direction such that one body is arranged distally in the longitudinal direction and the other body is arranged proximally in the longitudinal direction, at least one of the bodies having a spindle- or funnel-shaped design.

Disclosed are methods of delivering an agent to the lumen of the vas deferens under guidance of ultrasound imaging. The methods include vas-occlusive contraception in which the vas deferens is non-surgically isolated and an occlusive substance is percutaneously administered into the lumen of the vas deferens under ultrasound. Also disclosed are methods of reversal of vas-occlusive contraception and methods of delivering an agent to the lumen of the vas deferens. Also disclosed are compositions for use in the methods of the invention.

Devices and methods for occluding or promoting fluid flow through openings are disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment an occlusion device is provided having an expandable outer elongate tubular body, a guide member extending from a distal end of the outer body, and a slide tube disposed within the outer body, the proximal portions of the outer body and the slide tube being fixedly mated. The slide tube is configured to slide distally within the outer tubular body when the tubular body is expanded to form wings. A tether can be included as part of the device and it can be used to assist in positioning and locking a location of the device in an opening. Exemplary methods for delivering devices disclosed herein are also provided.
