Claims26
A device for the obliteration of an aberrant space or cavity comprising:
- a) a patch portion comprising a first side and an opposing second side;
- b) a plurality of struts arranged radially between the first side and the second side, where each strut comprises a first end and a second end;
- and
- c) a clip associated with the second end of each strut;
- where the patch portion has a center and a circumference;
- where the first end of each strut is oriented toward the center of the patch portion, and the second end is oriented toward the circumference of the patch portion;
- where each clip is configured to attach the patch portion to a surface or structure adjacent to or within the aberrant space or cavity to be obliterated;
- and
- where each strut comprises two lumens, a first lumen configured to contain a stabilization wire, and a second lumen configured to contain an attachment line.

A device for the obliteration of an aberrant space or cavity, the device comprising:
- a) a patch portion comprising a first side and an opposing second side;
- and
- b) a frame portion comprising a first side and an opposing second side;
- where the first side of the patch portion comprises a first surface of two opposing surfaces of a hook and loop fastener;
- where the second side of the frame portion further comprises a second surface of two opposing surfaces of a hook and loop fastener configured to mate with the first surface of the first side of the patch portion;

- where the first ends of each radiating member are joined together;
- and
- where each of the second ends of the peripherally radiating members comprises a structure to attach the radiating member, and hence the frame portion, to a surface or structure adjacent to or within the aberrant space or cavity to be obliterated.
6 more elements
A device for the obliteration of an aberrant space or cavity comprising:
- a) a patch portion comprising a first side, an opposing second side, and an outer edge;
- b) an inflation area or inflation channel, which when inflated, gives shape to the patch portion in a post-deployment configuration;
- c) an adhesive delivery channel comprising a series of perforations to allow adhesive to exit from the adhesive delivery channel;
- and
- d) one or more than one valve for introducing inflation material into the inflation area or inflation channel and for introducing adhesive into the adhesive delivery channel.
