An intravascular delivery device is disclosed comprising a delivery wire having a proximal and a distal end and an interior lumen extending there between and wherein said distal end comprises a connection interface adapted to matingly interlock with a proximal end portion of a medical implantable device, wherein said delivery device comprises a locking unit arranged to secure said connection interface in a locking position in which said medical implant is pivotably locked before a controlled release.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for closing a patent foramen ovale. Some of the disclosed apparatuses include an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end, with first and second suture clasp arms adapted to hold end portions of a suture when in an extended position. A first suture catch mechanism is slidably housed in the elongate body and moves in a proximal-to-distal direction to engage the suture end held by the first suture clasp arm, and a second suture catch mechanism is slidably housed in the elongate body and moves in a distal-to-proximal direction to suture end held by the second suture clasp arm. The first suture clasp arm can be positioned around the septum primum to deliver a suture thereto, and the second suture clasp arm can be positioned around the septum secundum to deliver a suture thereto.

Provided herein is an occlusion device for implantation into a body lumen or aneurysm comprising, a continuous compressible mesh structure comprising axial mesh carriages configured end to end, wherein each end of each carriage is a pinch point in the continuous mesh structure. Also provided herein is a kit comprising the occlusion device disclosed herein and a means for delivery thereof. Methods of manufacture and use of the occlusion device are also disclosed.

An aspiration system includes a pump and a control system in communication with the pump. The control system includes a microcontroller, an antenna configured to receive a signal, and a pump control board in communication with the microcontroller. The antenna is in communication with the microcontroller. Upon receiving the signal, the pump control board operates the pump to create negative pressure according to the signal.

The invention relates to a medical implant (1) that is adapted to repair or close defect (D), in particular an opening in a ventricular, atrial, or septal wall (W). The medical implant (1) may, in particular, be a patch. It comprises an adhesive composition (6). It further comprises two states, wherein in the first state, the medical implant (1) can be deployed to an implant site while the adhesive composition (6) is inactive. It can be brought into a second state by an activation mechanism. The adhesive composition (6), in the second state, is curable by a curing mechanism.

Devices, systems and methods for cardiac and vascular access configured to allow for intracardiac access to conduct medical procedures. The devices, systems and methods are particularly useful in trans-cardiac extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) procedures, ventricular assist procedures, cardiopulmonary bypass, or other medical procedures where intracardiac access may be required.

Described herein are devices used for treating a fistula, along with methods of treatment thereof, and methods of manufacturing the device.

The present disclosure relates to a system for radial cinching of an opening in an internal biological structure. The system includes, a tensioning tube, a plurality of sutures disposed within the tensioning tube, a plurality of delivery tubes. Each delivery tube is configured to receive a distal end of one of the plurality of sutures. The plurality of delivery tubes are further configured to deploy the distal ends of the plurality of sutures proximate a periphery of the opening. Upon deployment of the sutures proximate the periphery of the opening, one or more of the plurality of sutures are cinched while movement of portions of the plurality of sutures are constrained by the tensioning tube causes radial cinching of the periphery to close the opening.

A surgical device for suturing a body lumen is described, as well as methods for suturing tissue employing the surgical device. The device can include a body having a shaft and a foot for insertion into an opening in the body lumen. The device can include tissue ports between the shaft and the foot configured to receive tissue surrounding the opening in the body lumen. The foot can include a suture secured to needle capture devices. The device can include needles that can be advanced through tissue and into the needle capture devices. The needle capture devices can then be withdrawn, thereby harvesting the suture, which can then be used to close the opening in the body lumen.

The present disclosure relates to an ostomy method and an implantation method. The ostomy method includes steps of making an incision in the chest to expose the heart, puncturing the left ventricle with a puncture needle, thrusting the puncture needle into the ventricular septum and then into the right ventricle to form a puncture site on the ventricular septum, and dilating the puncture site of the ventricular septum with a dilator to form an opening. The method of the present disclosure can reduce the death rate.
