Abstract:
This disclosure provides design, material, manufacturing method, and use alternatives for medical devices. An example medical device may include a medical device for delivery of a surgical closure member. The medical device includes an elongate tubular member having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen extending therein. The elongate tubular member is adapted to be delivered through the working channel of an endoscope and the lumen is adapted to receive a surgical closure member. The medical device also includes a tissue support extending from the distal end of the elongate tubular member. The tissue support includes a support surface and the support surface is adapted to support tissue as a surgical closure member engages the tissue thereon.
Abstract:
An implantable medical device may include a stent being structured and arranged to increase in length from a deployed length to an extended length; and a cover 120 disposed around an exterior surface of a covered section of the stent, wherein a second portion of the cover overlaps a first portion of the cover, wherein an adhesive is disposed between the first portion of the cover and the second portion of the cover. Methods of using an implantable medical device and methods of making an implantable medical device are disclosed.
