Abstract
A medical device, comprising a tube including at least one lumen, an absorbent located at a distal portion of the tube, the absorbent being configured to transition from a compressed state to an expanded state, and a structure fixed to the absorbent, wherein the structure is configured to flex into a compressed state and an expanded state simultaneously with the compressed state and the expanded state of the absorbent, and the structure exposes at least a portion of the absorbent.
Claims20
A medical device, comprising:
- a first tube including at least one lumen;
- an absorbent located at a distal portion of the first tube, the absorbent being configured to transition from a compressed state to an expanded state, and wherein the first tube is movable relative to the absorbent;
- an actuation tube movable within the at least one lumen and relative to the absorbent, wherein a proximal opening of the actuation tube is connectable with a vacuum source, and a distal opening of the actuation tube is configured to supply a negative pressure;
- a structure fixed to the absorbent and including a cavity, wherein the cavity includes a distal opening and a proximal opening, wherein the structure is configured to flex into a compressed state and an expanded state simultaneously with the compressed state and the expanded state of the absorbent, and the structure exposes at least a portion of the absorbent;
- and
- a netting configured to maintain the absorbent in the compressed state,
- wherein the first tube extends through the distal opening and the proximal opening, thereby exposing a distal end of the first tube, and
- wherein only the actuation tube is configured to supply a negative pressure to the cavity and the absorbent when the distal end of the first tube and the distal opening of the actuation tube are within the cavity.
A medical device, comprising:
- a first tube including at least one lumen;
- an absorbent located at a distal portion of the first tube, the absorbent being configured to transition from a compressed state to an expanded state, and wherein the first tube is movable relative to the absorbent;
- a structure fixed to the absorbent and including a cavity, wherein the structure is configured to flex into a compressed state and an expanded state simultaneously with the compressed state and the expanded state of the absorbent, and the structure exposes at least a portion of the absorbent;
- an actuation tube movable within the at least one lumen and relative to the absorbent, wherein the actuation tube is connectable with a vacuum source to supply a negative pressure to the absorbent via a distal opening of the actuation tube;
- and
- a wire coupled to a netting surrounding the absorbent and the structure, wherein
- the wire is configured to shear the netting to transition the absorbent from the compressed state to the expanded state,
- wherein a distal end of the first tube extends distally past the absorbent, thereby exposing the distal end of the first tube, and
- wherein the actuation tube is configured to supply the negative pressure to the absorbent when the distal end of the first tube and the distal opening of the actuation tube are within the cavity.
A medical device, comprising:
- a first tube including at least one lumen;
- an absorbent at a distal portion of the first tube, wherein the absorbent is configured to transition between a compressed state and an expanded state;
- an actuation device within the at least one lumen, wherein the actuation device is a second tube configured to move distally and proximally relative to the absorbent, and the actuation device is connectable with a vacuum source to supply a negative pressure to the absorbent;
- a stent surrounding the absorbent, wherein the stent is fixed to an outer surface of the absorbent, and the stent exposes at least a portion of the absorbent;
- and
- a containment configured to maintain the absorbent in the compressed state,
- wherein the containment is a netting, a wrapping, or a suture, and
- wherein the stent includes a first opening and a second opening, wherein the first tube is configured to extend outside of the stent and the absorbent and retract within the stent and the absorbent through the first opening and the second opening, such that the first tube and the second tube are the only tubes within the stent and the absorbent.
