Methods For Facilitating Closure Of A Bodily Opening Using One Or More Tacking Devices
US Patent:
8192461, Jun 5, 2012
Filed:
Sep 10, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/557204
Inventors:
Michael L. Kochman - Philadelphia PA, US
Vihar C. Surti - Winston-Salem NC, US
Vihar C. Surti - Winston-Salem NC, US
Assignee:
Cook Medical Technologies LLC - Bloomington IN
The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania - Philadelphia PA
The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania - Philadelphia PA
International Classification:
A61B 17/08
US Classification:
606216, 606215, 606151
Abstract:
The present embodiments provide methods for facilitating closure of a bodily opening. In one exemplary method, at least a portion of a first tacking device is disposed through at least a portion of tissue at a first location in a vicinity of an opening in the tissue. Then, at least a portion of a second tacking device is disposed through at least a portion of tissue at a second location in the vicinity of an opening in the tissue. A closure member having at least one loop portion is advanced towards the first and second tacking devices, and the loop portion is positioned around at least a portion of the first tacking device and at least a portion of the second tacking device. The closure member then is actuated to urge the first tacking device towards the second tacking device to provide a compressive force upon the opening.
Methods For Achieving Serosa-To-Serosa Closure Of A Bodily Opening Using One Or More Tacking Devices
US Patent:
2010006, Mar 18, 2010
Filed:
Sep 10, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/557232
Inventors:
Michael L. Kochman - Philadelphia PA, US
Vihar C. Surti - Winston-Salem NC, US
Vihar C. Surti - Winston-Salem NC, US
Assignee:
Wilson-Cook Medical Inc. - Winston-Salem NC
International Classification:
A61B 17/10
US Classification:
606142
Abstract:
The present embodiments provide methods for facilitating closure of a bodily opening. In one exemplary method, a compressive force is imposed upon first and second tissue segments that at least partially surround an opening in tissue. The first and second tissue segments are positioned in a manner where a first serosal tissue region of the first tissue segment is compressed against a second serosal tissue region of the second tissue segment to facilitate sealing of the opening. At least one tacking device having proximal and distal deployable members may be deployed using a suitable insertion tool to impose a compressive force to hold the first serosal tissue region in a sealing relationship against the second serosal tissue region.
