A biopsy tract sealant applicator device includes a housing and a syringe having a body that is configured to move in an interior chamber of the housing between an extended position and a retracted position. The body is configured for connection to a biopsy cannula. A plunger of the syringe has a piston configured to move in a cylinder of the syringe between a proximal position and a distal position. The spring unit is coupled to the body of the syringe and to the housing. A gear train is operatively coupled to each of the housing, the body of the syringe, and the plunger of the syringe. The gear train is configured to move the plunger of the syringe from the proximal position toward the distal position as the body is moved from the extended position toward the retracted position by a biasing force exerted by the spring unit.

Disclosed are puncture sealing systems and methods of locating a puncture site within a vessel. The systems can include puncture locating dilators and access sheaths that are configured to locate the puncture site within a vessel so that the position of the puncture site relative to a distal end of the access sheath is known during a puncture sealing procedure.

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.

A blood vessel access closure device includes an inner blood vessel wall support member and an outer blood vessel wall support member. The closure device also includes a deployment member and an electrode. The deployment member is configured to draw the inner and outer blood vessel wall support members towards each other when the inner and outer blood vessel wall members are deployed on opposite sides of a blood vessel wall during closure of a hole in the blood vessel wall. The electrode is configured to be attached to the deployment member and configured to be used to measure impedance.

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

A medical device is disclosed capable of reducing risk factors of an anastomotic leakage after a surgical operation is performed. The medical device includes an adhesion promotion sheet configured to include an adhesion promotion portion promoting adhesion of biological tissues and a frame portion provided outside the adhesion promotion portion in a plane direction and a pulling unit connected to the adhesion promotion sheet and configured to deform a second region so as to cover at least a portion of an outer peripheral surface of a biological organ to be joined with a pulling operation.

A prosthesis and a method of plugging or covering a trocar tract with the prosthesis is disclosed. The prosthesis includes a tubular body having a proximal end and a distal end, a respective opening at each end, and a channel extending between the proximal end of the tubular body and the distal end of the tubular body. The prosthesis is removably mounted along a trocar. The trocar is removable from the prosthesis such that the prosthesis is left at the trocar tract when the trocar is removed from the tract. The prosthesis includes a delivery configuration and a deployed configuration. In the deployed configuration, the opening at the distal end of the tubular body is smaller than the opening at the proximal end of the tubular body.

Medical devices for delivering compositions or medical articles to a patient are disclosed. The medical plug delivery devices can include a fluid delivery device (e.g., a syringe), a frame, and a rotatable magazine. The rotatable magazine can include a plurality of chambers that each hold a composition or a medical article (e.g., a medical plug). By rotating the rotatable magazine relative to the frame, material within the chambers of the rotatable magazine can be sequentially deployed to a patient.

A vascular closure device includes a release component, a delivery component, a sealing device and at least one actuator. The release component is elongate along a longitudinal direction, and defines a distal end and a proximal end. The delivery component extends along the release component such that at least the release component is movable relative to the delivery component. The delivery component includes a delivery tube body and defines a delivery tube channel. The sealing device has a toggle that is at least partially disposed within the release tube, a suture that is attached to the toggle and extends through the delivery tube channel, and a plug that is attached to the suture proximal to the toggle. The actuator is coupled to the release component and is in communication with the suture such that actuation of the actuator causes (i) the release component to move the proximal direction relative to the delivery component so as to release the toggle from the release component, and (ii) the suture to be pulled in a proximal direction to thereby place the filament in tension and urge the toggle against a distal end of the delivery component such that the toggle is oriented in a sealing position.
