The disclosed technology provides an implantable device for sealing an aperture in a tissue of a body lumen. In some embodiments, the implantable device comprises a flexible sealable member having an elongated shape so that a longitudinal dimension of the flexible sealable member is greater than a lateral dimension of the flexible sealable member.

Implantable devices, systems and methods for closing aperture

The disclosed technology provides a device for sealing an aperture in a tissue of a body lumen. The device comprises a flexible support member having a base having (i) a central portion and (ii) one or more lateral support portions, to engage and/or hold a sealable member of the device against an interior surface of the tissue when the device is in the sealing position. The lateral support portions provide additional support surfaces to engage peripheral portions of the sealable member against the interior surface of the tissue. A cage or shoe engaged with the support member on the exterior surface of the tissue can provide additional support and assist sealing the aperture.

Arteriotomy closure apparatus with slotted shoe for advantageous pressure distribution

Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for closing a perforation in any hollow vessel associated with a mammalian surgical procedure, for example a device for sealing an aperture in a tissue, the device comprising an implant and a delivery shaft configured to engage the implant, the delivery shaft comprising (i) a retaining sleeve, (ii) a release sleeve, and (iii) a handle coupled to the delivery shaft.

Vascular closure device

The present invention relates generally to a closure system for use in surgical procedures.

Closure system and uses thereof

The disclosed technology provides a device () for sealing an aperture in a tissue of a body lumen. The device includes a flexible support member () having a base () configured to engage and/or hold a sealable member () of the device against an interior surface of the tissue when the device is in the sealing position. The device also includes a locator () coupled to the support member and configured to engage with a wall of the body lumen to secure the device thereto.

Adjustable vascular closure device

The disclosed technology provides a device for sealing an aperture in a tissue of a body lumen. The device comprises a flexible support member having a base having (i) a central portion and (ii) one or more lateral support portions, to engage and/or hold a sealable member of the device against an interior surface of the tissue when the device is in the sealing position. The lateral support portions provide additional support surfaces to engage peripheral portions of the sealable member against the interior surface of the tissue.

Closure apparatus with flexible sealable member and flexible support member

The provided technologies provide an implant closure device having a mesh layer formed on a flexible substrate, collectively forming a sealable member, that improves a seal formed over an aperture in a body lumen. The mesh facilitates a faster and more secure adherence of the sealable member to the surrounding edges at the puncture site. Furthermore, the provided technology may promote platelet-capture and encourage localized platelet aggregation at the exposed collagen in the wound edges on the mesh layer. The platelet impregnated mesh layer can facilitate cellular adhesion, enabling the sealable member that is local to the wound opening to act, in essence, as a 'biological glue.'
