Abstract: A tissue closure device includes a clip including arms extending from proximal ends connected to one another to distal ends. The clip is biased toward an open configuration in which the distal ends extend away from a longitudinal axis of the clip. The arms are held in a closed configuration in which the arms are moved toward the longitudinal axis via an interior surface of a working channel through which the clip is passed until the clip is moved distally past a distal end of the working channel and permitted to revert to the biased open configuration so that the distal ends are positioned about a portion of tissue surrounding a tissue opening to be closed. The device also includes a locking element movable over the arms to lock the clip in the closed configuration in which the arms are drawn toward one another to grip tissue therebetween.

Abstract: A method of braiding a stent includes braiding a number of elongate filaments around a mandrel using tensioned braiding carriers without spooling the filaments to the tensioned braiding carriers to form a braided stent having atraumatic ends.

Abstract: An open frame prosthesis is formed with looped end terminations at its proximal and distal ends. At one end of the prosthesis, the filaments or strands are welded together in pairs to form strand couplings. A plurality of loop segments are connected to the strand couplings, one loop segment for each pair of adjacent strand couplings. In one version of the prosthesis, strands at the opposite end are bent to form looped ends. In another version, loop segments are connected to pairs of strand couplings at both ends of the prosthesis. The loop segments can be connected to the couplings by welding, fusion bonds, or tubes, which are either crimped or heat shrunk.

Abstract translation: 开放框架假体在其近端和远端处形成有环形末端终端。 在假体的一端，细丝或股线成对地焊接在一起，以形成线耦合。 多个环形部分连接到线股联接件，一对环形部分用于每对相邻的线束联轴器。 在假体的一个版本中，在相对端的股线弯曲以形成环形端部。 在另一个版本中，环段在假体的两端连接成成对的线耦合。 环路段可以通过焊接，熔接或管道连接到联接器，这些管道是压接或热收缩的。
