    摘要: A rolling instrument for rolling the outside surface of the stomach for reducing stomach volume in bariatric surgery includes an elongated tubular body that is sufficiently flexible to allow for access to the outside surface. The tubular body includes a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is shaped and dimensioned for use by the medical practitioner performing the medical procedure and includes a handle for manipulation of the rolling instrument. The distal end of the tubular body includes a mechanism allowing for gripping of the stomach in a manner permitting rolling thereof. A coiled retainer shaped and dimensioned is provided for application to the rolled portion of the stomach in a manner holding the rolled portion of the stomach in its rolled configuration. The coiled retainer includes a helically coiled body having a first end and a second end, the first end is pointed such that it may puncture tissue as the coiled body is rotated during its application to the stomach.

    摘要: Devices and related methods arc provided for the controlled delivery of a therapeutic to a targeted location within a body. More particularly, methods and devices are provided for controlling the rate of passage of an orally administered pill through a body, as well as for controlling the delivery of a therapeutic within the pill at a specific location within the body. Various types of devices, generally referred to herein as “catchers,” are provided that can actively catch a pill as it passes through a body. The catcher can hold the pill at a specific location within the body until a predetermined event occurs, such as partial or complete. administration of a therapeutic within the pill. The catcher can then release the pill upon command and/or upon the occurrence of the predetermined event to allow the pill to pass out of the body. In other embodiments, various types of pills are provided that can actively engage a catcher and remain engaged with the catcher until a predetermined event occurs.
