<p>A system and device for implanting a food implant in a patient's stomach, by coupling the implant to a plurality of tissue-plication anchors already placed in the stomach, are disclosed. The device includes an elongate shaft assembly for accessing the stomach transorally, and on which the implant can be carried, and a plurality of cable members mounted on the shaft assembly. The cable members are disposed on the shaft assembly along a distal section thereof, and releasably attached to the shaft assembly's distal end. After a cable member engages a tissue-plication anchor, retracting the cable is operable to first release the member from a holder at the the distal end of the shaft assembly, then pull a portion of the anchor through an aperture in the implant. This process is repeated for each anchor in the stomach for attaching the implant to the stomach.</p> |
