<p>An intragastric member and method of delivery thereof are described. Delivery of the intragastric member (11) is enabled by partitioning the intragastric member into discrete bundles (14-17) with retaining members (34-38) that are circumf erentially disposed along the longitudinal length of the intragastric member. Formation of the intragastric member into bundles facilitates controlled delivery into the gastric lumen. The use of suture ties (61-64) enables deployment of the intragastric member into the gastric lumen. The distal ends of the suture ties are affixed to the bundles. Pulling on the proximal free (65-68) end of each of the suture ties enables the corresponding bundles to be advanced distally along a delivery tube (18). The suture ties are pulled until each of the bundles slide off from the delivery tube and enter into the gastric lumen (1020).</p> |
