THERAPEUTIC COMPOSITION DELIVERY DEVICE

Abstract: a clip, such as an atrial clip, includes a first arm, a second arm, and a hinge rotatably coupling the first arm and the second arm. the first arm and the second arm are selectively moveable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. in the closed configuration, the first arm and the second arm engage with and clamp a piece of cardiac tissue between them. the atrial clip also includes a lock, which retains the first arm and the second arm in the closed configuration, as well as at least one porous material attached to one or both of the arms. the porous material is configured to absorb and elute a therapeutic composition to the cardiac tissue, wherein the therapeutic composition is configured to prevent and/or treat postoperative atrial fibrillation.
