Abstract

Systems, methods and kits relating to in-situ forming polymer foams for the treatment of aneurysms or fluid filled spaces are disclosed. The systems include an insertable medical device and an in-situ forming foam of lava like materials with a fast forming outer skin and a slower hardening interior that is formed from a one-, two- or multi-part formulation. When used to treat an aneurysm, the foam is placed into contact with at least a portion of an exterior surface of the medical device and/or the tissue surface of the aneurysm.

Claims

1. A method of treating an aneurysm in a patient, comprising the step of:

delivering, within an aqueous space defined by an inner wall of the aneurysm and an outer wall of a medical device within the aneurysm, an in situ forming foam that comprises a polymer and reacts in the space to generate a gas and form a foam structure, which has a plurality of cells that contain said gas within a skin, and which is in conformal contact with tissue surrounding the space.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the in situ forming foam is formed from a multi-functional silane.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the multi-functional silane is formulated with tin.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the multi-functional silane is formulated with titans.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the in situ forming foam is formed by a reaction of the multi-functional silane and hydroxyl-containing siloxanes.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the in situ forming foam is formed from a multi-functional isocyanate polymer.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the medical device is a stent graft contacting first and second ends of the aneurysm.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of delivering the in situ forming foam includes the steps of:

inserting a distal end of a catheter into the space and flowing, through the catheter and into the space, said in situ forming foam.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the in situ forming foam forms a coil within the space.
