A surgical tissue therapy device includes a sealant layer and a collection chamber. The sealant layer functions so as to create a sealed enclosure or space between it and the surface of a patient by forming, preferably, an airtight seal around a surgical area of skin trauma. The closed incision tissue therapy device also comprises a collection chamber, which may comprise an elongate tubular chamber with a plurality of longitudinally spaced openings. The collection chamber may be configured to be in fluid communication with the sealant layer and the area of skin trauma and functions as to distribute the negative pressure applied to a surgically closed area of skin trauma. Preferably, the pressure under the sealant layer is reduced by expanding the volume of the enclosure space and thereby decreasing the density of air molecules under the sealant layer. The collection material may comprise a material and/or a configuration that permits length changes based upon the length of the corresponding surgical wound or incision.

Closed incision negative pressure wound therapy device and methods of use

Disclosed herein is a non-vascular fistula treatment system. The system may include a collapsible member, at least one tether, and a bioresorbable material. The collapsible member may be configured for positioning through a fistula tract and may comprise first and second disc members. The outer perimeter of the second disc member may be larger than the outer perimeter of the first disc member, and the first disc member may comprise a tether attachment structure. The at least one tether may be attached to the tether attachment structure. The bioresorbable material may be configured for placement in the fistula tract and may comprise a coupling structure configured to couple to the at least one tether. The second disc member may be configured to seal to a surface of a body lumen at a distal opening of the fistula tract and occlude the fistula tract at the distal opening.

Enteric fistula treatment devices

Disclosed herein is an implantable fistula closure device. The device may include an expandable longitudinally segmented body including a proximal end and a distal end. The segmented body may further include a plurality of porous bodies and a connecting member operably joining together the plurality of porous bodies. The plurality of porous bodies includes a first porous body with a proximal end and a distal end and a second porous body with a proximal end and a distal end, and the connecting member operably connects the proximal end of the first porous body with the distal end of the second porous body.
