Embodiments disclosed herein relate to devices implantable into a human lung, for example to reduce the volume of air trapped in a diseased portion of the lung to prevent inhalation while permitting expiration out of the diseased portion. In some embodiments, the device comprises a distal portion with an anchor system that may anchor the device into tissue of an air passageway wall, and the distal portion may be connected to a proximal portion via a flexible portion that permits the distal portion to articulate substantially with respect to the proximal portion, such that the distal portion and the proximal portion may be non-collinear along a longitudinal axis of the distal portion. This may facilitate implantation of the device into a non-linear air passageway.
1. An implantable device for deployment in an air passageway, the device comprising: an occluding device comprising a proximal end and a distal end;an anchor adapted to secure the occluding device within the air passageway, the anchor comprising a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis;
1. An implantable device for deployment in an air passageway, the device comprising: an occluding device comprising a proximal end and a distal end;an anchor adapted to secure the occluding device within the air passageway, the anchor comprising a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis; anda connecting mechanism joining the occluding device and the anchor, the connecting mechanism having a first end connected to the occluding device and a second end connected to the anchor the first end of the connecting mechanism moveable toward and away from the second end of the connecting mechanism to move the anchor relative to the occluding device along the longitudinal axis to thereby change a distance between the distal end of the occluding device and the proximal end of the anchor. 2. The implantable device of claim 1, wherein the connecting mechanism limits axial movement of the anchor and occluding device away from each other but permits movement of the anchor and the occluding device toward each other. 3. The implantable device of claim 2, wherein the connecting mechanism comprises a tether. 4. The implantable device of claim 1, wherein the anchor is axially fixed relative to the connecting mechanism. 5. The implantable device of claim 1 further comprising a biasing member positioned between the occluding device and the anchor. 6. The implantable device of claim 1, wherein the occluding device comprises a holder at the distal end of the occluding device that defines an occluding chamber configured to receive a proximal end of the connecting mechanism and wherein the anchor comprises a holder at the proximal end of the anchor that defines an anchor chamber configured to receive a distal end of the connecting mechanism. 7. The implantable device of claim 6, wherein the proximal end of the connecting mechanism can move within the occluding chamber and the distal end of the connecting mechanism can move within the anchor chamber. 8. The implantable device of claim 6, wherein the proximal and distal ends of the connecting mechanism are enlarged relative to a middle of the connecting mechanism. 9. An implantable device for deployment in an air passageway, the device comprising: an occluding device;an anchor adapted to secure the occluding device within the air passageway, the anchor comprising a central axis; anda connecting mechanism connected to the occluding device at an first connection point and connected to the anchor at a second connecting point, the first connecting point moveable with respect to the second connecting point. 10. The implantable device of claim 9, wherein the connecting mechanism permits relative axial movement between the occluding device and the anchor. 11. The implantable device of claim 10, wherein the occluding device is configured to move axially relative to the anchor and relative to the connecting mechanism. 12. The implantable device of claim 10, wherein the connecting mechanism comprises a flexible material. 13. The implantable device of claim 12, wherein the connecting mechanism comprises a body formed of the flexible material and ends formed of a rigid material. 14. The implantable device of claim 9, wherein the connecting mechanism is a connecting rod. 15. The implantable device of claim 14, wherein the occluding device comprises a holder at the distal end of the occluding device that defines an occluding chamber configured to receive a proximal end of the connecting rod, and wherein the anchor comprises a holder at the proximal end of the anchor that defines an anchor chamber configured to receive a distal end of the connecting rod. 16. A system for inserting a pulmonary device into an air passageway of a lung, the system comprising: a catheter; anda pulmonary device configured to be inserted into a distal end of the catheter, the pulmonary device comprising:an occluding device;an anchor for securing the occluding device within the air passageway; anda connector connected to the occluding device and to the anchor, the connector configured to permit axial movement between the occluding device and the anchor. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the connector comprises a tether. 18. The system of claim 16, further comprising a biasing member positioned between the occluding device and the anchor. 19. The system of claim 18, wherein the connector extends through the biasing member. 20. The implantable device of claim 16, wherein the connector comprises a flexible material.
