Abstract: A guide conduit for facilitating insertion of flexible instruments into body lumens, the conduit defining a lumen extending from an opening at a proximal end of the conduit to a distal opening at the distal end of the conduit, the conduit comprises an outer layer forming a substantially smooth outer surface and a plastically deformable layer radially within the outer layer, the plastically deformable inner layer constructed to maintain its shape when subjected to a force below a predetermined threshold level and to assume a new shape when subjected to a bending force greater than the threshold level, wherein the threshold level is selected to be greater than a range of forces to which the conduit will be subjected by instruments inserted therethrough.

Abstract: A porous weave of bioabsorbable filaments having an open mesh configuration is formed into an oblate shape having dimensions greater than the esophageal opening and gastric outlet of a stomach. The resulting prosthesis is deployed in the stomach and is of a size to be retained in the proximate portion thereof for exerting pressure on the upper fundus. The prosthesis limits the amount of food that may be held within the stomach, and exerts pressure on the fundus to create a sensation of being full, resulting in weight loss.
