Described are devices, methods, and systems useful in the treatment of fistulae, and in certain embodiments those having openings extending into the alimentary canal, such as anorectal fistulae. Illustratively, an anorectal fistula can be treated by placing a volumetric construct within the primary opening of the fistula. In certain embodiments, the volumetric construct can include a rolled remodelable material processed to form a substantially unitary body. Advantageous such remodelable materials can include collagenous extracellular matrix materials, such as small intestine submucosa.
Cette invention concerne des dispositifs, méthodes et systèmes convenant pour le traitement de fistules qui débouchent dans certains cas, sur le canal digestif, telles que des fistules anorectales. A titre d'exemple, on pourra traiter une fistule anorectale au moyen d'un élément volumétrique placé dans l'orifice primaire de ladite fistule. Dans certains modes de réalisation, cet élément peut inclure un matériau roulé remodelable conçu pour former un élément sensiblement unitaire. De tels matériaux remodelables peuvent contenir des matériaux matriciels extracellulaires collagènes provenant par exemple d'une sous-muqueuse de l'intestin grêle.
