20150209049 | OCCLUSION DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF - One aspect of the present invention provides a device for occluding a body cavity. In one embodiment, the occlusion device includes include a hub extending from an upstream end to a downstream end and along a central axis. A number of struts are attached to the upstream end and extend upstream from the hub. An expandable balloon is attached to the downstream end and extending downstream from the hub. Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for occluding fluid flow within in a body cavity including placing an occlusion device within the body cavity. | 07-30-2015 |
20130071447 | METHODS FOR PRODUCING ECM-BASED BIOMATERIALS - A method for forming an extracellular matrix material (ECM) material includes providing at least an ECM composition containing ECM particles varying in their capacity for migration through a fluid medium, including at least one population of expanded ECM particles. The ECM composition is combined in a fluid medium to form a flowable ECM composition. The flowable ECM composition is subjected to a centrifugal force in a mold for a period of time sufficient to distribute the ECM particles according to differences in their physical characteristics. The ECM composition is dried to form a dried ECM material having a density gradient extending from a less dense region to a more dense region. The dried ECM material may formed as a porous, substantially acellular ECM material expandable in an aqueous fluid environment by at least 100% in volume. | 03-21-2013 |
20110125289 | Implantable Graft to Close a Fistula - An implantable graft, which may be inserted into a fistula tract to occlude the primary opening of the fistula, is provided. To prevent unintentional displacement of the graft or extrusion of the graft from the fistula of a patient, the graft may be provided with a cap that extends laterally from at least one end of the body of the graft, where the cap may be integral with the body of the graft, attachable to at least one end of the body of the graft, and/or moveable along the body of the graft. The graft may also have a tail that extends from one end of the body of the graft to assist in placement of the graft in a fistula tract. The graft may be an integral unit made of a single material, such as a heterograft material, or may include distinct components made of the same or different materials. Methods for closing a fistula tract are also provided. | 05-26-2011 |

20090248144 | ENDOLUMINAL DEVICE WITH EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX MATERIAL AND METHODS - An endoluminal device comprises a stent and a tubular graft supported by the stent. The graft has a proximal and a distal opening and comprises a synthetic material and a bioremodelable material. The bioremodelable material is disposed on an exterior surface in at least one band adjacent at least one of the proximal and distal openings. | 10-01-2009 |
20090138078 | Remodelable Prosthetic Valve - Prosthetic medical devices with delayed valve function and in situ remodeling of a portion thereof are provided, as well as methods of manufacturing the medical devices and methods of treatment using the medical devices. The medical devices may be adapted to initially maintain a remodelable material within a body vessel in a first configuration suitable to contact the remodelable material with a body fluid contacting the remodelable material for a first time period or a second configuration adapted to regulate the flow of body fluid contacting the remodelable material. The medical devices may include a releasable holding member configured to retain the remodelable material in the first configuration. | 05-28-2009 |
