A device and method for selectively engaging or penetrating a layer of a luminal organ wall where the luminal organ wall has a plurality of layers including an outermost layer and an innermost layer adjacent to the lumen of the organ. The device and method select one of the plurality of layers of the organ wall other than the innermost layer and deploy from within the lumen of the organ a tissue device through the innermost layer to a specific depth to engage or penetrate the selected one of the plurality of layers. The device and method may be employed to create luminal pouches or restrictive outlets. In a stomach organ, the device and methods may be employed to treat obesity by forming a gastric pouch with or without a restrictive outlet.

A stent formed in a tubular member, comprising a plurality of annular members (1) longitudinally arranged to hold an organic lumen in a patent state and one or a plurality of connection elements (2) connecting longitudinally adjacent annular members (1) and (1) to each other. Each of the annular members (1) further comprises a plurality of first annular member elements (11) and second annular member elements (12) continued to each other in the circumferential direction, and is extendable in the radial direction. Since the stent is soft, excellent in the follow-up capability to the lumen, and accordingly allowed to pass through the three-dimensionally meandering lumen, a shortening is not substantially produced and, in addition, a lateral hole can be formed.

The invention describes a multi-layer balloon film material (1) which combines one or more layers of elastically deformable material (2) with one or more layers of plastically deformable inelastic material (3) which counteracts the straightening properties of the elastic layers in the event of planar folding or bending of the balloon film material. According to the invention, the cross-sectional area of an eyelet-like or channel-like structure (6) for guiding secretions or liquids, which is usually produced in the organ cavity or body cavity in the region of the fold-like depression of the balloon film with redundant dimensions, can be reduced, and the cross-sectional area can be stabilized in particular in the event of a periodic change in balloon filling pressure, in this way, an optimal sealing or packing result is achieved in a filling pressure amplitude range as large as possible.

The invention relates to an accessory device for organ intracavity operations, in particular to a ureter lead-in sheath with real-time pressure detection and absorption capacity. The ureter lead-in sheath comprises a pouring connector, a sealing cover, a suction pipeline, a pressure sensing passageway and a ureter sheath pipeline. The sealing cover is arranged at one end of the pouring connector. The ureter sheath pipeline is arranged at the other end of the pouring connector. The suction pipeline is arranged on the side face of the pouring connector and is communicated with a pouring passageway in the pouring connector. A pouring pressure sensing passageway is arranged in the side walls of the pouring connector and the ureter sheath pipeline. The portion, on one side of the pouring connector, of the pouring pressure sensing passageway is connected with the pressure detection connector which can be connected with an external pressure sensor. A pressure coupling hole is formed in the portion, on one side of the ureter sheath pipeline, of the tail end of the pouring pressure sensing passageway. The ureter lead-in sheath is easy to implement and convenient to operate and use; when a sheath pipeline works, pressure inside organ cavities can be detected all the time through the pressure detection passageway, it is avoided that patients are damaged when the intracavity pressure is too large, and the ureter lead-in sheath is suitable for popularization.

An endoluminal lining (1) for internally lining a hollow organ comprises a flexible tubular sleeve body (3), at least one anchoring portion (6) formed at an end (4) of the sleeve body and provided for the connection of the sleeve body (3) to the hollow organ, a detaching zone (7) formed between the anchoring portion (6) and the sleeve body (3) and a pull-activatable detaching member (8) incorporated in the detaching zone (7) and forming an activating tab (9) such that, upon pulling the activating tab (9), the detaching member (8) causes breakage of the detaching zone (7) and separates the sleeve body (3) from the anchoring portion (6).

Systems and methods of the invention generally relate to prolonging viability of bodily tissue, especially lung tissue, through the use of an expandable accumulator to maintain a constant pressure within the lumen of the organ even during external pressure fluctuations due to, for example, flight. Systems and methods may include prolonging donor organ viability in storage through the use of an organ container that mimics the geometry and orientation of the organ in vivo.
