    摘要: An apparatus and system for providing reduced pressure to a defect in a nerve is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a nerve conduit having a generally tubular shape that has walls including a luminal wall surrounding the tissue site to contain fluids within a luminal space between the tissue site to contain fluids within a luminal space between the tissue site and the luminal wall. The apparatus further comprises a manifold having a porous body and a connector for receiving reduced pressure, wherein the manifold is positioned within the luminal space adjacent the tissue site to distribute the reduced pressure to the defect. Additionally, a method for providing reduced pressure to a defect in a nerve is disclosed that includes implanting the nerve conduit and manifold at a site of damaged nerve tissue and applying a reduced pressure to the manifold thereby stimulating repair or regrowth of nerve tissue.

    摘要: An apparatus for connecting multi-lumen conduits is described. The apparatus may include a conduit adapter and a conduit collar. The conduit adapter may include a housing, a bayonet connector, and a support member connecting the housing and the bayonet connector. The support member has an aperture that permits fluid communication through the support member. One end of the conduit collar is sized for insertion into the housing, and a second end is adapted to receive a first multi-lumen conduit. The housing also is adapted to receive a second multi-lumen conduit. The bayonet connector engages a primary lumen of the first multi-lumen conduit and the second multi-lumen conduit such that the primary lumen of the second multi-lumen conduit fluidly communicates with the primary lumen of the first multi-lumen conduit. The conduit adapter and the conduit collar are capable of 360 degree rotation relative to each other about a common axis.

    摘要: Disclosed is a T-fastener delivery device. The device includes a belt and a pusher rod. The belt includes a plurality of slots for holding a plurality of T-bars substantially parallel to one another in a side-by-side arrangement; and the belt is moveable such that the slots can be sequentially aligned with the pusher rod. Also disclosed are methods for creating a gastric pouch in the stomach of an obese patient and methods for reducing lower esophageal sphincter distraction with gastric filling in a subject. Suturing systems are also disclosed One suturing system includes a plurality of T-fasteners and a continuous suture connecting the plurality of T-fasteners. The T-fastener comprises a cylindrical bar having a filament loop attached thereto substantially at the cylindrical bar's axial midpoint, and the continuous suture slidably passes through the T-fasteners' filament loops. Another suturing system includes a plurality of T-fasteners; and a continuous suture connecting the plurality of T-fasteners. The T-fastener comprises two cylindrical bars connected by a filament, and the continuous suture slidably passes through a loop formed by the T-fasteners' filaments.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a prosthetic anti-reflux valve for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and methods for its use. The preferred methods described provide for transoral insertion of a prosthetic anti-reflux valve and its fixation within the stomach interior. One advantage of such preferred embodiment of the present invention over prior devices is the elimination of the need for fixation of a prosthetic device within the esophagus, thus permitting a more natural and less obstructed, and even unobstructed, function of the esophagus. A first aspect of the invention provides a prosthetic valve for implantation in the stomach of an animal proximate to the esophagus to inhibit reflux of matter from the stomach to the esophagus without substantially inhibiting movement of matter from the esophagus to the stomach comprising a device having an esophageal surface and a gastric surface, wherein the gastric surface is contoured such that the device is thinner around the perimeter than away from the perimeter.
