Embodiment Construction

[0034] Described herein are devices and methods for securing sutures with suture clips. Figure 1-Figure 5 and Figure 7-Figure 19 An exemplary suture clip deployment device 2 is shown. Device 2 can be loaded with one or more suture clips, such as Figure 6 An exemplary disk-shaped suture clip 18 is shown in , and can be used to continuously deploy a loaded suture clip onto one or more sutures, such as during intracardiac implantation of a prosthetic device. While any of the disclosed suture clips can be used to secure a single suture, or can be used to secure multiple sutures or suture segments simultaneously, this description proceeds with reference to a non-limiting example in which each suture clip is deployed to two sutures. Line segments for ease of description.

[0035] Such as figure 1As shown, device 2 includes a handle portion 4 capable of being held and actuated by a user and a shaft portion 6 capable of being at least partially inserted into the body to deploy ...

Abstract

Disclosed herein are suture clip delivery devices that can be loaded with several flat, disk-shaped suture clips and can deploy the suture clips one after another onto respective sutures without reloading the device with additional suture clips. An exemplary device includes a handle portion with an actuation mechanism that is coupled to a shaft portion that holds and deploys the suture clips. The shaft portion includes a mandrel on which the suture clips are mounted and a retainer that restricts the suture clips from moving proximally when the actuation mechanism pulls the mandrel proximally, which causes a distal-most suture clip to slide off the mandrel and be deployed onto one or more suture. The mandrel and remaining suture clips can them move distally to prepare to deploy the next suture clip.
