6results about "Fallopian occluders" patented technology

Methods for removing a biomaterial implant and reversing occlusive effects of the biomaterial implant are described. In particular, methods for performing removal of biomaterial implants without damage to a body lumen where the biomaterial was previously implanted are presented. More specifically, methods of reversing an implant within a vas deferens are described.

The invention relates to a device for controlling a flow circulating in the lumen of a male vas deferens, comprising a clamp configured to coaxially grasp an outer wall of the vas deferens and a long, slender element coupled to the clamp, a distal portion of which is adapted to be at least partially inserted into the vas deferens. Said distal portion has a deflection tube adapted to divert said flow out of the vas deferens when an inlet of said deflection tube is aligned with the lumen. Abstract figure: Fig. 1

A system for treating a female patient to promote pregnancy comprising a restriction device adapted to postoperatively restrict and release an oviduct of the patient.

Disclosed is an implantable tube valve for implanting in a patient, comprising an implantable tube and a valve member mounted inside the tube and pivotable between an open mode and a closed mode. A biasing element preloads the pivot part on the first side of the pivot axis to bistably bias the valve member towards the open or closed mode. The biasing element comprises a compressible sleeve that is axially compressible for providing a preload force on the pivot part. The valve member comprises an operating surface that is mechanically operable by an external actuator device to move the valve member against the preload force between the open and closed mode.

The invention relates to a device for controlling a flow circulating in the lumen of a vas deferens of a male individual, comprising a clamp configured to coaxially grip an outer wall of the vas deferens and an elongate element configured to be coupled to the clamp, a distal portion of which is adapted to be at least partially introduced into the vas deferens. Said distal portion comprises a diversion tube adapted to divert said flow out of the vas deferens when an inlet of said diversion tube is aligned with the lumen.
