Various powering devices are provided for transferring and/or generating energy from numerous sources to a communicating member implanted in a patient. The energy transferred to or generated by the communicating member can be used to provide power to an implantable restriction system configured to form a restriction in a pathway.

A surgical instrument includes a handle assembly, a battery pack, and a cooling device. The battery pack is operable to power the surgical instrument and may be inserted into the handle assembly. The cooling device is mechanically integrated with the battery pack. The cooling device is further operable to draw heat away from the battery pack while the battery pack delivers power to the surgical instrument.

摘要:
A method for deploying fasteners including the steps of providing a device having a handle and at least one actuator. The handle is connected to an elongated hollow housing having distal and proximal ends. The device has a first cartridge containing at least one fastener releasably connectable to the handle and an elongated pusher movable through the hollow housing from the distal to the proximal end for deploying the fastener from the distal end. The method includes increasing the stiffness of the pusher at a distal end thereof and advancing the pusher through the elongated housing to deploy the fasteners.

A surgical fastener applier having a handle and a fastener housing extending from the handle. The housing contains at least one anvil movable within the staple housing having a proximal position and a distal position. When the anvil is in the distal position a distal end of the anvil extends distal to the distal end of the staple housing. The housing contains a plurality of surgical fasteners each of which in the shape of a loop, wherein at least one fasteners is placed around the anvil when the anvil is in distal position. And a distal end of the anvil extends distal to the distal end of the staple housing. The applier further includes a first means for moving the anvil distally during a deployment of the at least one fastener, and a second means for moving the anvil distally during the deployment of the at least one fastener, wherein the second means is independent of the first means.

A method for laparoscopically preventing insufflation of the small bowel during gastric procedures includes applying an obstruction member at the pyloric sphincter to block the passage of gas from the gastric cavity into the small bowel and insufflating the gastric cavity.
摘要:
A method of deploying a surgical fastener into a patient by introducing the fastener into a body of a patient while the fastener is in a first shape having a first loop with a back span and an original size and shape. The method then involves moving end segments of the fastener away from each other substantially along an entire length thereof while keeping the back span in substantially its original size and shape. The method then involves forming the fastener into a second loop having a width greater than a width of the first loop.
摘要:
A method and device for manipulating gastric tissue about a greater curvature of a stomach. The method includes the steps of creating at least one incision to gain access to the peritoneal cavity, and dissecting at least a portion of the greater omentum. Then the method includes accessing the exterior of the gastric tissue through the incision and folding at least a portion of the greater curvature of the stomach. The fold is constructed having serosa to serosa contact substantially along its entire length. The method further involves securing the fold with a flexible member wherein the flexible member comprises at least one tissue securing feature.

A system for tissue apposition includes a delivery assembly having a tissue clip selectively secured thereto for the deployment and application of the tissue clip. The tissue clip is shaped and dimensioned for engaging spaced locations along a span of tissue and upon rotation thereof drawing the spaced locations together into apposition to thereby create a fold of tissue.
