ABSTRACT:
A surgical closure device comprises an elongate tubular member having a pair of balloons attached in a collapsed configuration to the tubular member at the distal end thereof. During a surgical operation the distal end of the instrument, including the distal-most balloon, is inserted through a perforation in an internal body organ of a patient. The distal-most balloon is inflated while inside the organ, the proximal balloon being inflated outside the organ. In their inflated states, the balloons press against one another and sandwich the wall of the organ between them to effectively close the perforation. The tubular member may then be subjected to a suction force to enable evacuation of liquid from the organ. After the suctioning operation, the tube is clamped and severed, the balloons remaining at least temporarily attached to the organ.
