Embodiment Construction

[0059] A medical device for implantation in a body cavity (eg, sinus cavity, vagina, or other portion of the female reproductive system, etc.) may be disclosed. The medical device can include a body positionable in the sinus cavity. The medical device may extend through the ostium of the sinus and into the nasal cavity. The proximal end of the medical device (the portion positioned in the nasal cavity after implantation) may include a connecting portion that may be configured to couple the medical device to the dispenser. In embodiments, the connection portion on the medical device may be configured to couple to a connection portion on the dispenser and / or to attach to a connection portion on a delivery member of the dispenser. The dispenser and / or delivery member may be magnetically coupled to and decoupled from the medical device. A dispenser and / or delivery member may be coupled to the medical device for dispensing fluid into the medical device. Fluid may flow through th...

Abstract

The present invention relates to an at least partially implantable medical device. The medical device may include a body, wherein at least a first portion of the body is configured to be implanted through an oral opening, and at least a second portion of the body is configured to at least temporarily retain the body in an implanted position. The second portion may be farther than the first portionand include a cross-sectional area greater than the cross-sectional area of the first portion. At least one of the first portion or the second portion may be configured to elute the fluid.

[0001] priority statement [0002] This patent application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 868,471, filed June 28, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] The mouth (ostia) is a small hole or opening. Antrum cavities, pelvic openings, Eustachian tubes, and portions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are examples of mouths. Mouth can be problematic if inflamed, partially blocked, etc. [0004] Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is inflammation of the paranasal sinuses lasting for a period of more than 12 weeks. Typically, symptoms may include nasal inflammation, anterior or posterior nasal discharge, nasal congestion or congestion, loss of smell, and facial pain, sensitivity, and swelling, among other symptoms. CRS may be caused by paranasal sinus infections, nasal polyps, deviated septum, chronic inflammation of the sinus ostia, and allergies, among other causes. Currently availab...
