Abstract
Disclosed herein are implantable fistula treatment devices and related methods. The fistula closure device comprises a distal anchor and a proximal anchor attached by a connecting member, such as a suture. Individual porous bodies are threaded directly or indirectly over the connecting member. The distal anchor comprises a plurality of foldable members threaded onto the connecting member. The foldable members are arranged in increasing surface area from distal to proximal, and each is further configured to form a mechanical interfit with adjacent foldable members to reduce sliding between members when they are tensioned together.
