Abstract
In one example, a medical system may comprise a delivery tube configured to couple to a vacuum source and provide negative pressure to a distal portion of the delivery tube; and a porous body at a distal portion of the delivery tube, the porous body including a first section and a second section removable from the first section.
Claims20
A medical system comprising:
- a delivery tube configured to couple to a vacuum source and provide negative pressure to a distal portion of the delivery tube;
- and
- a porous body at a distal portion of the delivery tube, wherein the porous body includes a first section and a second section removable from the first section.
A medical device comprising:
- a porous body including at least one perforation;
- a negative pressure conduit having an opening formed therein that is in fluid communication with the porous body, wherein the negative pressure conduit is configured to apply a negative pressure to the porous body;
- and
- a string coupled to the porous body and extending from the porous body to a proximal portion of the conduit;
- wherein the porous body is configured to separate into separate sections when the string is pulled proximally.
2 more elements
A method of performing a medical procedure, the method comprising:
- positioning a porous body adjacent to tissue of a target site;
- applying a negative pressure to the porous body;
- and
- pulling a string coupled to the porous body proximally to remove a first section of the porous body while a second section of the porous body remains positioned at the target site.
