Disclosed are systems and methods for safely and effectively deploying a hemoclip onto a patient's desired target using a hemoclip system. For instance, disclosed is an catheter that includes a lumen for a hemoclip to pass through. Additionally, disclosed are hemoclips that are configured to be in a compressed position until the hemoclip is deployed out of a catheter where it opens. Then, the hemoclip may be clipped onto the target to encapsulate the desired target within the patient. Once the hemoclip is clamped onto the target, the catheter can move onto the next target for successive deployment and utilization of the hemoclips without manual reload.

A stent is disclosed that is configured to maintain patency of the prostatic urethra despite an enlarged prostate. The stent can include a handle that, in an undeflected position, is disposed outside of the flow path of the stent. When the handle is pulled, the handle can deflect to generally aligned with a central axis of the stent. A capture device is disclosed that includes a tapered tip to navigate a working channel of a delivery device and a hook that can capture the stent handle and be moved into a tube to retain the stent handle to facilitate maneuvering of the stent in and out of the working channel of the delivery device. A loading adapter with a tapered port is disclosed that can be disposed on the delivery device to distribute compressive forces applied by the port on the stent during loading into the working channel.
