Medical device and delivery method onto offset surface of mammal tissue
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of delivery of a medical device having a proximal end and a distal end into a mammal tissue, comprising the steps of:
- forming a guide line on a surface of the mammal tissue;
placing a guiding device, comprised of a flexible guide rail and a carriage carried by the flexible guide rail that can move along the flexible guide rail, on the surface of the mammal tissue;
fixing the flexible guide rail on the surface of the mammal tissue along the guide line;
deploying the distal end of the medical device, into the mammal tissue at a desired depth d;
coupling the guiding device and the distal end and/or the proximal end of the medical device; and
introducing the distal end of the medical device into the mammal tissue and moving the distal end of the medical device substantially along a line formed by a normal projection of the guide line to an offset surface of the mammal tissue located at the desired depth d from the surface of the mammal tissue.

15. A medical device system for delivery of a medical device into a mammal tissue, the medical device system comprising:
-
the medical device having a proximal end and a distal end; and a guiding device comprised of a flexible guide rail and a carriage carried by the flexible guide rail that can move along the flexible guide rail; wherein the flexible guide rail can be fixed on a surface of the mammal tissue along a guide line defined on the surface of the mammal tissue, and wherein the proximal end and/or the distal end of the medical device and the guiding device are coupled to introduce the distal end of the medical device into the mammal tissue and to move the distal end of the medical device substantially along a line formed by a normal projection of the guide line to an offset surface of the mammal tissue located at a distance d from the surface of the mammal tissue. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
