A patent application has been submitted for approval by inventors Enestvedt, Brintha; McCarthy, Simon J.; Perry, Kenneth E.; Perry, Kenneth P.; and Xie, Hua. The application focuses on gastrointestinal medical devices and delivery systems for controlling gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). The inventors discuss the challenges of treating upper GIB and the high mortality rate associated with it. Their devices deliver a hemostatic dressing to control bleeding, particularly in cases of brisk arterial bleeding, and can be used in minimally invasive procedures. The inventors believe their devices have the potential to address unmet needs in GIB control and offer improvements over current treatment methods. [Extracted from the article] |
