Patent

CA 2731435

Described here are methods and devices for forming tracts in tissue. Some of the devices comprise an elongate member, a suction member coupled to a distal portion of the elongate member, and a tissue-piercing member slidably housed within the elongate member for forming a tract in tissue. Other devices comprise more than one suction member. Methods for forming tracts in tissue are also described here. In some methods, a device is advanced adjacent tissue, where the device comprises one or more suction members and a tissue-piercing member. Suction is applied so that the tissue is drawn against the one or more suction members, and a tissue-piercing member is advanced in a first direction through the drawn tissue to form a tract in or through the tissue. Kits incorporating one or more of the devices described here, in conjunction with one or more tools or the like, are also described here.

La présente invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs destinés à former des tractus dans un tissu. Certains de ces dispositifs comprennent un élément allongé, un élément de succion raccordé à une partie distale de l'élément allongé, et un élément de perçage de tissu accueilli de manière coulissante dans l'élément allongé afin de former un tractus dans un tissu. D'autres dispositifs comprennent plus d'un élément de succion. L'invention porte également sur des procédés de formation de tractus dans un tissu. Dans certains procédés, on fait progresser un dispositif dans un tissu adjacent, ledit dispositif comprenant un ou plusieurs éléments de succion et un élément de perçage de tissu. Une succion est appliquée de telle sorte que le tissu soit tiré contre le ou les éléments de succion, et on fait progresser un élément de perçage de tissu dans une première direction à travers le tissu tiré, afin de former un tractus dans ou à travers le tissu. L'invention a également trait à des kits incorporant l'un ou plusieurs des dispositifs, en association avec un ou plusieurs outils ou analogue.
