Suture clips configured to be placed in a predetermined path of a suturing needle that advances through a device inserted to a body cavity, and remotely operated from that position to secure and clamp suturing. In some embodiments, a suture tightening device is placed in the predetermined path and configured to capture the suture and shorten a length of tissue-engaged suture by pulling on the suture. In some embodiments, sensors are placed along the needle path and used to provide an indication of needle position and/or status.

Suturing with an endoluminal gastroplasty device

Electrode array

A transducer apparatus for delivering tumor treating fields to a subject's body, the transducer apparatus including: an array of electrodes, the array configured to be positioned over the subject's body with a front face of the array facing the subject's body, the array comprising electrode elements positioned in existing electrode positions arranged around a centroid of the array; an anisotropic material layer electrically coupled to the array of electrodes and located on a front side of the front face of the array; and at least one void space in the array of electrodes capable of enclosing an areal footprint equivalent to at least a portion of an areal footprint of at least one existing electrode position, and superimposable on at least a portion of at least one existing electrode position by rotation of the array around the centroid.

Shiftable transducer array with anisotropic material layer

An improved device delivers a fluid medicament to the subcutaneous tissue of a user. The device is better suited for patients with Parkinson's Disease and other central nervous system disorders, than conventional infusion devices. The device can include a reusable part including a drive component (e.g., motor) and control electronics and a disposable part including a medicament reservoir. Medicament can be evacuated from the medicament reservoir by a plunger assembly that includes a plunger attached to a lead screw that is rotated by a nut, all within the disposable part. The device can be fluidically coupled with the tissue via a flexible cannula. Various embodiments relate to an improved cannula insertion mechanism that delivers the cannula under a force applied by a spring. Various embodiments relate to improved filling of the device, for example, using a vial adapter and an automated filling station.

Device for subcutaneous delivery of fluid medicament

A fluid transfer device () includes a vial holder () configured to hold a vial (). An actuator () is coupled to the vial holder () and can rotate the vial () between upright and inverted positions. A pump (positive or negative pressure) can pump contents out of the vial (). Before pumping of the contents the actuator () rotates the vial () to the inverted position and after pumping of the contents the actuator () rotates the vial () to the upright position.

Fluid transfer device

Within a delivery passage of a catheter, an elongated and flexible annuloplasty structure is transluminally advanced toward a heart of a subject while the annuloplasty structure is in a substantially linear configuration in which a distal end of the annuloplasty structure is closer than a proximal end of the annuloplasty structure to a distal opening of the catheter. Subsequently, the distal end of the annuloplasty structure is advanced, followed by the proximal end of the annuloplasty structure, out of the catheter and into an atrium of the heart. Within the atrium, the annuloplasty structure is transitioned toward a ring form by the distal end of the annuloplasty structure being brought towards the proximal end of the annuloplasty structure. While the annuloplasty structure remains in the ring form, the annuloplasty structure is placed against tissue of the annulus and is anchored to the tissue.

Implantation of repair devices in the heart

Apparatuses, systems, and devices usable for annuloplasty are provided. These can include an annuloplasty system comprising a segment having a lumen therethrough, the segment being positionable in a vicinity of a surface of a heart valve of a heart. The system can include a tube having a distal portion that is movable through the lumen of the segment and a distal end passable through an opening in the segment that is in fluid communication with the lumen. One or more tissue anchors are deliverable through the tube, the tissue anchor(s) being shaped so as to define a tissue coupling element. The distal portion of the tube can be removably positioned within the lumen of the segment, and, while so positioned, to deploy the tissue coupling element from the distal end of the tube in order to penetrate the tissue coupling element into cardiac tissue. Other embodiments are also described.

A fluid dispensing mechanism for a fluid dispensing device, comprising an elastic sleeve surrounding a bag for filling with fluid for dispensing, the bag having a circumference and being folded at a plurality of folding locations around said circumference, thereby to unfold evenly under said sleeve during a filling process of pressurized filling of said bag with fluid, the mechanism further comprising an anchoring column. The bag is folded around the anchoring column.

Pressure mechanism for spray cannister

The application is directed to a vial adapter for attaching a medicament vial to a medicament delivery device having a reservoir adapted to receive and contain the medicament. The vial adapter can include a housing with two ports (one for attaching the reservoir and the other for attaching to the vial), a hollow needle that pierces septums sealing each of the reservoir and the vial, and a floating part that fixedly holds the hollow needle. Clearance between the floating part and the housing can enable relative movement of the floating part.

Apparatuses and devices usable for annuloplasty are provided. These can include a plurality of tissue anchors and an annuloplasty structure for placement on a heart valve annulus. The annuloplasty structure can include a plurality of compressible or adjustable subunits, and a plurality of anchor mounts alternately disposed with respect to the plurality of compressible/adjustable subunits. The anchor mounts are coupleable to the tissue anchors and can define a path for passage therethrough of a respective tissue anchor. The apparatuses and devices can be independently adjustable and can be adjustable for treating various sizes of patient annuli. Other embodiments are also described.
