Definitions

  • a method comprises positioning a first implant in a first predetermined position adjacent a first tissue, positioning a second implant in a second predetermined position adjacent a second tissue, bringing the first and second tissues into apposition by pulling the first and second implants into apposition with each other, and creating multiple puncture wounds in the first and second tissues with the first and second implants to allow the first and second tissues to heal together in the region of the puncture wounds.
  • Figures 3 A to 3 C sequentially illustrate the opening of the needle and deployment of a plate or implant from the needle.
  • Figure 7A illustrates the catheter after being maneuvered to the proximal position.
  • Figures 7B and 7C sequentially illustrate the pulling together of the two plates or implants.
  • Figure 15A illustrates the driving of an anchoring fastener through a first tissue and into a second tissue using the device of Figure 14.
  • the cords 3300 and the twisting arms 3405 are retracted proximally with respect to the housing 3001, while the tubular sleeve 3400 rotates about its longitudinal axis.
  • the rotation of the tubular sleeve 3400 about its longitudinal axis causes the twisting arms 3405 to engage the respective cords 3300 and revolve around the longitudinal axis of the tubular sleeve 3400.
  • the micro implants 250 may have a diameter of one millimeter, or approximately one millimeter, and a length that is in a range from 5 millimeters to 10 millimeters. According to example embodiments, the diameter is less than one millimeter. According to example embodiments, the diameter is in a range from 0.8 millimeters to 1.2 millimeters. It should be understood, however, that other dimensions may be provided.
  • the splits 359 may be formed by making a cut radially into the body 351 and extending in an axial direction.
  • the two split portions 357 and 358 are attached to the remainder of the body 351 at a distal position and extend proximally to free ends.
  • the free ends include a plurality of sharp protrusions along a curved surface. These points are formed due to the corrugations.
  • the ridges 355 form the sharp protrusions.
  • the ridges 355 form the sharp protrusions, as illustrated in the inset partial side view in Figure 13, which are advantageous for gripping tissue and preventing distal sliding of the fastener 250.
  • the shaft 5115 includes many features, e.g., the maneuverability, the winding mechanism and the clipping mechanism, of the catheter 3000 described above.
  • the system 5000 operates in a manner analogous to the device 3000 described above.
  • one or more of the implants 3200 are replaced by the implants 250.
  • the implants 250 may be hydraulically delivered, or delivered by a piercing needle, or any other appropriate driving mechanism.
  • hydraulic delivery it is noted that a very precise force may be delivered at the distal end portion of the shaft 5115 to drive the fastener 250. This force may be controlled by the processor 5110 in connection with hydraulics, e.g., in the handpiece.
  • the fasteners are preferably driven at a speed greater than 50 meters per second, more preferably in a range of 50 to 350 meters per second, and most preferably at 350 meters per second. However, it should be understood that the fasteenrs may be driven at any suitable speed sufficient for the fasteners to puncture tissue.
  • a rapid penetration of the layer(s) of tissue may be required in order to effect a desired penetration. If an implant 250 is applied slowly, the tissue may be pushed distally away by the implant and/or needle without adequate penetration.
  • some example delivery mechanisms eject the implant a relatively high velocity.
  • saline is used to pressurize the channel within the catheter or needle at such a rate that the plunger will eject the implant 250 at the precise velocity.
  • Other example embodiments utilize a spring-loaded mechanical mechanism to eject the implant. Further example embodiments push the implant using long push rods which run the length of the catheter. The ejection modality is computer-controlled.
