Abstract
A medical device including a removable frame and biomaterial cover, methods of assembling and using the same, and a delivery system including the same are described herein. The medical device includes a frame having proximal and distal ends, the frame including a proximal disc at the proximal end, a distal disc at the distal end, and a connecting segment having a proximal end and a distal end connecting the proximal and distal discs. Each of the proximal and distal discs includes a respective plurality of prongs and has a maximum cross-sectional dimension larger than the connecting segment. The medical device further includes at least one biomaterial cover including an outer section and an inner section defining a cavity therebetween, wherein at least one of the proximal and distal discs of the frame is positioned in the cavity.
