20140379026 | DEVICES AND METHOD FOR TREATING WOUNDS - A healing device for sealing multiple fistulas, large-opening fistulas, and other wounds and for promoting tissue growth is coupled to tissue surrounding a first tissue opening. The healing device includes a first sealing member placed on a first surface of the tissue over the tissue opening. The healing device also includes a second sealing member placed over a second surface of the tissue over the tissue opening. The healing device may include a growth-enhancing layer located between the first sealing member and the second sealing member. The first sealing member and the second sealing member may sandwich the tissue in between to cover the tissue opening and may be held together with a plurality of securing members that do not exert any force on the tissue. | 12-25-2014 |
20140379025 | ENTEROATMOSPHERIC FISTULA TREATMENT DEVICES AND METHODS - An implantable device covers and seals an enteroatmospheric fistula or other short-tract opening in tissue and assists in healing the fistula. The implantable device may include a cap that is configured to be positioned on a first side of the tissue and to substantially cover a first opening of the short-tract fistula. The implantable device may also include an anchor member operably connected to the cap. The anchor member may be configured to be positioned on a second side of the tissue and to substantially cover a second opening of the short-tract fistula. Also, the implantable device may include a plug structure operably connected to the cap and the anchor member. The plug structure may be configured to fill the short-tract fistula. | 12-25-2014 |
20140200604 | FISTULA TREATMENT DEVICES AND METHODS - Disclosed herein are implantable fistula treatment devices and methods. In some embodiments, a distal anchor for an implantable fistula treatment device may comprise a suture and multiple foldable members including at least a distal-most foldable member and a proximal-most foldable member. The distal-most foldable member may comprise a suture attachment structure. The proximal-most foldable member may be configured to couple to a surface of a body lumen at a distal opening of a fistula. | 07-17-2014 |
20130158595 | ENTERIC FISTULA TREATMENT DEVICES - Disclosed herein is a non-vascular fistula treatment system. The system may include a collapsible member, at least one tether, and a bioresorbable material. The collapsible member may be configured for positioning through a fistula tract and may comprise first and second disc members. The outer perimeter of the second disc member may be larger than the outer perimeter of the first disc member, and the first disc member may comprise a tether attachment structure. The at least one tether may be attached to the tether attachment structure. The bioresorbable material may be configured for placement in the fistula tract and may comprise a coupling structure configured to couple to the at least one tether. The second disc member may be configured to seal to a surface of a body lumen at a distal opening of the fistula tract and occlude the fistula tract at the distal opening. | 06-20-2013 |
20130158594 | FISTULA TREATMENT DEVICES AND METHODS - Disclosed herein are implantable fistula treatment devices and related methods. In some embodiments, an anorectal fistula treatment device may comprise a disc-shaped distal anchor comprising a concave side and a convex side, an outer edge region, an inner sealing region protruding from the concave side, and an attachment region configured for attachment to a connecting member. The inner sealing region may have a greater thickness than at least a portion of the attachment region and the outer edge region may be oriented at an acute angle to the inner sealing region. The distal anchor may have a tapered edge and the outer edge region and inner sealing region may be configured to form separate seals against tissue about a distal opening of an anorectal fistula. | 06-20-2013 |
20130006283 | FISTULA TREATMENT DEVICES AND RELATED METHODS - Disclosed herein are implantable fistula treatment devices and related methods. In some embodiments, a distal anchor for an implantable fistula treatment device may comprise a suture and a plurality of foldable members including at least a distal-most foldable member and a proximal-most foldable member. The distal-most foldable member may comprise a suture attachment structure. The distal-most foldable member may comprise a distal first average dimension substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the suture, a distal second average dimension orthogonal to the distal first average dimension, and a distal third average dimension orthogonal to the distal first and second average dimensions. The distal first average dimension may be no greater than 30% of the greater of the distal second and third average dimensions. The proximal-most foldable member may be configured to couple to a surface of a body lumen at a distal opening of a fistula. The proximal-most foldable member may also be configured to occlude the fistula at the distal opening and may also be configured to slide along the suture attached to the suture attachment structure. The proximal-most foldable member may comprise a proximal first average dimension substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the suture, a proximal second average dimension orthogonal to the proximal first average dimension, and a proximal third average dimension orthogonal to the proximal first and second average dimensions, where the proximal first average dimension may be no greater than 10% of the greater of the proximal second and third average dimensions. | 01-03-2013 |
20120016412 | ENTERIC FISTULA TREATMENT DEVICES - Disclosed herein is an implantable fistula closure device. The device may include an expandable longitudinally segmented body including a proximal end and a distal end.
