    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and method which may be used to reinforce the native annulus during spinal surgery. The device is a catheter based device which is placed into the inter-vertebral space following discectomy performed by either traditional surgical or endoscopic approaches. The distal end of the catheter is comprised of an expansile loop which may be increased in diameter by advancement of a portion of the catheter via its proximal end, such proximal end remaining external to the body. The expansile loop may be formed of a woven or braided material and may be made of a polymer such as nylon, polyurethane, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene or any of the well known and biocompatible polymers. Alternatively the expansile portion of the catheter may be formed from a metallic braid of stainless steel, elgiloy, Nitinol, or other biocompatible metals. The expansile loop may be formed such that when the loop is diametrically contracted the loop feeds into its other end, similar to a snake eating its own tail. Stabilization of the outer portion of the loop and pulling out the inner portion will thereby increase the overall diameter of the loop while maintaining it as a closed loop or torus. The present invention comprises four embodiments and can be used to 1) facilitate disk fusing, 2) perform an artificial replacement of the nucleus, 3) perform an artificial replacement of the annulus, or 4, perform an artificial replacement of both the nucleus and annulus.

    Abstract translation: 本发明涉及可用于在脊柱手术期间加强天然环的装置和方法。 该装置是基于导管的装置，其通过传统的手术或内窥镜方法进行椎间盘切除术后放置在脊椎间隙内。 导管的远端包括可膨胀的环，其可以通过导管的一部分的近端前进而直径增加，这样的近端保持在身体外部。 膨胀环可以由织造或编织材料形成，并且可以由聚合物如尼龙，聚氨酯，聚酯，聚乙烯，聚丙烯或任何公知的和生物相容的聚合物制成。 或者，导管的膨胀部分可以由不锈钢，铍合金，镍钛诺或其他生物相容性金属的金属编织物形成。 可以形成膨胀环，使得当环径向收缩时，环进入其另一端，类似于吃自己的尾巴的蛇。 因此，环路的外部部分的稳定和拉出内部部分将由此增加环路的总直径，同时将其保持为闭环或环面。 本发明包括四个实施例，并且可以用于1）促进磁盘定影，2）进行人造核替换，3）进行环形的人工置换，或4，进行核和环的人造置换 。

    Abstract: The invention relates to devices that are stabilized at an intraluminal residence site in the gastrointestinal tract by their conformation, including dimensions of length and curvature. The device as a whole corresponds to the conformation of the residence site; more particularly, the curved or angled portions correspond to the curved or angled portions of the residence site and do not conform to an immediately proximal or distal site. In some embodiments, the conformationally stabilized device may effect a change in the residence site shape that contributes to stability of the device. Some embodiments are directed toward curbing appetite and/or reducing food intake, other embodiments may be directed toward other therapeutic ends. Some embodiments of the device are designed to reside wholly in the duodenum; others reside principally within the duodenum but extend proximally into the gastric antrum, while other embodiments are designed to reside elsewhere within the gastrointestinal tract.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for treating sleep apnea, snoring, and the like using an implant within an oropharyngeal region adjacent an anterior longitudinal ligament. The implant may include a relatively narrow central region between first and second relatively wide outer regions. In one embodiment, one of the outer regions is compressible to allow the outer region to be directed through or behind the ligament such that the central region is disposed within or behind the ligament, the outer region being resiliently expandable after passing through or behind the ligament. In another embodiment, the implant may include one or more tines or other features that may be directed into adjacent tissue to secure the implant within the oropharyngeal region.
