Medical devices for delivering plugs to voids

A method of delivering a medical plug into a patient comprising:

• obtaining a medical plug delivery system comprising a medical plug delivery device housing a medical plug;
• connecting the medical plug delivery device to a medical appliance in communication with a patient;
• selecting a technique of medical plug delivery from at least one of following:
• (i) connecting a fluid delivery device to the medical plug delivery device and displacing fluid with sufficient force to displace the medical plug;
• and
• (ii) inserting a stylet into a proximal end of the medical plug delivery device with sufficient force to displace the medical plug;
• and
• displacing the medical plug from the medical plug delivery device according to the selected technique.

A medical plug delivery device, the device comprising:

• a housing defining a channel that extends from a proximal end of the medical plug delivery device to a distal end of the medical plug delivery device, wherein the channel is configured to receive a medical plug;
• a distal connector configured to connect to a distal medical appliance that is in fluid communication with a patient;
• and
• a proximal connector configured to connect to a proximal fluid delivery device;
• wherein a cross-section of the housing that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the housing defines a perimeter of a portion of the channel, wherein the perimeter comprises:
• a plurality of inward-most points at a first radius from the longitudinal axis of the housing;
• and
• a plurality of outward-most points at a second radius from the longitudinal axis of the housing, wherein the second radius is longer than the first radius.
