Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011527197
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards implantable, inflatable, bioabsorbable medical prostheses. In particular, the present invention relates to an implantable, inflatable, bioabsorbable method and device for occluding septal defects such as an atrial septal defect. A double button shaped device is contained in a catheter to allow for easy positioning and re-positioning of the apparatus to ensure proper placement and deployment. The device is charged with a filling solution so that it temporarily stabilizes the defect for a period of time typically varying from weeks to a year while it provides a structure to support natural tissue growth. The device is eventually replaced by natural tissue as it degrades and is absorbed or eliminated from the body by natural processes.
