Sterilization devices and methods for deploying porous implants within the fallopian tubes are disclosed. The devices include a catheter component including an external electrode sheath containing at least two deployable implants and a positioning member. Sliding the external sheath proximally disposes the implants within the fallopian tubes, while sliding both the positioning member and external electrode sheath distally reloads a second implant into the external electrode sheath. The devices further includes a handle component, which houses a chassis, external electrode sheath carrier, reciprocating shaft, positioning member carrier and first and second engaging members. The reciprocating shaft may be operated by a motor to slide distally and proximally along a long axis. The reciprocating shaft, external electrode sheath and its carrier, upon selective actuation, move together proportionally to deploy and reload the implants to facilitate occlusion of the fallopian tubes and complete sterilization.

An anatomical model for simulating internal body structures of a patient, which in one embodiment includes a shell that simulates a body cavity and a length of animal tissue that simulates an organ in the body cavity. A sheath surrounds the animal tissue and is secured at one or more anchor points in the shell to support the animal tissue in the shell. In one embodiment, one or more force sensors are positioned to detect forces on the animal tissue or the shell.

An implant configured for insertion and placement within a fallopian tube of a female during a sterilization procedure. The implant includes an implant body having proximal and distal ends and a tether. The tether is attached to the implant body and extends a distance away from the implant body. The tether may be bioabsorbable and/or detachably coupled to the implant body so that the tether can be separated from the implant body without dislodging the implant body from the fallopian tube.

A device for mixing and ejecting a multi-component reactive mixture, which will not clog after a single and subsequent uses, is disclosed. The device has a cylindrical mixing space defined by upper, lower, and side walls. There are two entry ports into the mixing space defined by and tangent to the side wall. Two fluid component sources are fluidly connected to the entry ports and are pressurized such that two fluids, which react with each other, separately enter the mixing space. The side wall of the mixing space imparts a rotational motion to the fluids, which causes the fluids to thoroughly mix together before being ejected out through the exit orifice in either a spray or stream form. A valve stem may be provided, which is configured and dimensioned to substantially occupy the mixing space and to seal the two entry ports when it is in the closed position.
