Abstract
A medical device includes a connection member for connecting a homeostasis clip to the medical device; a biasing member, wherein the biasing member biases the medical device toward a compressed configuration; and a needle with at least one barb. The connection member is connected to the biasing member such that, with the needle inserted into tissue past the at least one barb and the biasing member pulled toward a tensioned configuration by the homeostasis clip connected to the connection member, the needle and the at least one barb pull the tissue in a direction parallel to a direction of tension placed on the biasing member.
Claims11
A medical device comprising:
- a connection member for connecting a homeostasis clip to the medical device;
- a biasing member, wherein the biasing member biases the medical device toward a compressed configuration;
- a needle with at least one barb, wherein
- the connection member comprises a loop made from one or more of nylon and linear low density polyethylene, wherein the connection member is connected to the biasing member such that, with the needle inserted into tissue past the at least one barb and the biasing member pulled toward a tensioned configuration by the homeostasis clip connected to the connection member, the needle and the at least one barb pull the tissue in a direction parallel to a direction of tension placed on the biasing member.
