    摘要: A method of exploiting a medical technology comprising: providing at least two types of medical systems incorporating the medical technology. Each of the systems has first capabilities useful in performing a first type of medical procedure, and second capabilities useful in performing a second type of medical procedure. One of the medical systems is offered in exchange for payment allowing access to both the first and second capabilities, and the other of the medical system is offered will full access to the first capabilities in exchange for payment, while access to the second capabilities are restricted and separately sold to the purchaser on an episodic basis.

    摘要: A method of implanting electrically conductive leads in the gastrointestinal musculature for stimulation of target tissues involves an endoscopic approach through the esophagus. An endoscope is inserted into the esophagus of a patient. The mucosal surface of the anterior esophagus is punctured in the region encompassing the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). A tunnel is created through the submucosa and exits at the muscularis propria, adventitia, or serosal side of the stomach. The lead is navigated further to the anterior abdominal wall. A first end of the lead remains within the gastrointestinal musculature while a second end of the lead is positioned just outside the anterior abdominal wall. The first end of the lead comprises at least one electrode. An implantable pulse generator (IPG) is implanted and operably connected to the second end of the lead to provide electrical stimulation to target tissues.
