GASTRIC DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS

摘要

Devices and systems to fit around a tissue or organ and methods of using the same. In at least one embodiment of an implantable device of the present disclosure, the implantable device comprises a first engaging component comprising a first rigid inner plate at least partially surrounded by a first flexible coating, a second engaging component comprising a second rigid inner plate at least partially surrounded by a coating selected from the group consisting of the first flexible coating and the second flexible coating, a first c-ring and a second c-ring coupled to the engaging components, and a cover flap coupled to either the first engaging component or the second engaging component and capable of either further coupling to the second engaging component when initially coupled to the first engaging component or further coupling to the first engaging component when initially coupled to the second engaging component.

主权项

1. An implantable restraining device, comprising:
a first engaging component and a second engaging component each defining a longitudinal axis, each configured for laparoscopic insertion into a body cavity, and each comprising a proximal end, a distal end, and a body extending therebetween, wherein the body of the first engaging component is configured to conform to a first targeted tissue surface, and the body of the second engaging component is configured to conform to a second targeted tissue surface; and a first swivel arm and a second swivel arm, each connected to the first engaging component and the second engaging component and configured to move from a first position that is substantially coplanar with the first engaging component and the second engaging component to a second position that is substantially perpendicular with the first engaging component and the second engaging component so to open the device, said movement in a plane perpendicular to a plane defined by an interior space between the first engaging component and the second engaging component, wherein when the first swivel arm and the second swivel arm are not positioned within the interior space when in the second position when the device is open.
