Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a device for delivering tissue adhesives to a surface which covers or surrounds a lumen, cavity or organ, or potential lumen or cavity, within a human or animal. Also disclosed is a method of delivering tissue adhesives to a surface which covers or surrounds a lumen, cavity or organ, or potential lumen or cavity, within a human or animal. The method is particularly suited to sealing perforations in vascular walls, such as after arterial access for Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA), Percutaneous Coronary Angiography and Percutaneous Coronary Atherectomy and similar diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A device for percutaneously delivering a tissue adhesive to a surface of a vascular wall surrounding a perforation in the vascular wall, comprising: a tubular housing having a proximal control end and a distal delivery end; a reservoir in the housing for containing a volume of tissue adhesive; an applicator on the distal delivery end of the housing, said applicator further comprising a guidewire lumen extending axially therethrough; and a control on the proximal control end of the housing for controllably expressing adhesive from the reservoir to the applicator; wherein said applicator comprises at least one, substantially smooth, atraumatic delivery surface facing in the distal direction in fluid communication with the reservoir for applying tissue adhesive to the surface of the vascular wall surrounding the perforation in the vascular wall.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
130 words
A device for percutaneously delivering a tissue adhesive to a surface of a vascular wall surrounding a perforation in the vascular wall, comprising: a tubular housing having a proximal control end and a distal delivery end; a reservoir in the housing for containing a volume of tissue adhesive; an applicator on the distal delivery end of the housing, said applicator further comprising a guidewire lumen extending axially therethrough; and a control on the proximal control end of the housing for controllably expressing adhesive from the reservoir to the applicator; wherein said applicator comprises at least one, substantially smooth, atraumatic delivery surface facing in the distal direction in fluid communication with the reservoir for applying tissue adhesive to the surface of the vascular wall surrounding the perforation in the vascular wall.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A device as in claim 1, further comprising a piston in the reservoir for expressing tissue adhesive from the reservoir to the applicator.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A device as in claim 2, further comprising a stop for limiting the travel of the piston, to set a predetermined maximum delivered volume of tissue adhesive.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
A device as in claim 1, further comprising a valve disposed in the flow path between the reservoir and the delivery surface, for sealingly retaining the tissue adhesive within the reservoir.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A device as in claim 4, wherein said control comprises an actuator on the proximal control end for simultaneously opening the valve and expressing tissue adhesive from the reservoir to the delivery surface.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
A device as in claim 1, further comprising an introduction cannula, axially movably disposed about the applicator, for providing access to a portion of the vascular wall including the perforation.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
61 words
A device as in claim 1 further comprising a tissue adhesive in the reservoir, wherein the tissue adhesive is selected from the group consisting of methyl cyanoacrylate, ethyl cyanoacrylate, n-propyl cyanoacrylate, isopropyl cyanoacrylate, n-butyl cyanoacrylate, isobutyl cyanoacrylate, n-amyl cyanoacrylate, isoamyl cyanoacrylate, 3-acetoxypropyl cyanoacrylate, 2-methoxypropyl cyanoacrylate, 3-chloropropyl cyanoacrylate, benzyl cyanoacrylate, phenyl cyanoacrylate, alkenyl cyanoacrylate, butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, alkoxyalky 2-cyanoacrylates, fluorinated 2-cyanoacrylates and combinations thereof.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
A device as in claim 7, wherein the tissue adhesive comprises a cyanoacrylate selected from the group consisting of ethyl cyanoacrylate and butyl-2-cyanoacrylate.
