SYSTEM, DEVICE, AND METHOD COMBINING BIOABSORBABLE FOAM WITH VACUUM TECHNOLOGY FOR NEOPLASTIC CYSTS

Abstract: a device for draining cysts includes a catheter system configured to deploy an absorbent material, including but not limited to a foam, into a cyst. the absorbent material advantageously absorbs fluid contained within the cyst, for example fluid that may remain following aspiration, reducing the potential for cyst recurrence. in various embodiments, the absorbent material may be bioabsorbable, radiolucent, echogenic, drug eluting, or a combination thereof. in some embodiments the device may further include or be coupled to a vacuum source which applies negative pressure to the cyst during foam delivery, thereby reduce the overall size and/or profile of the cyst.
