    摘要: Devices, methods, and systems for treating Type-2 Diabetes and/or obesity by facilitating the delivery of under-digested nutrients within the gastro-intestinal tract without substantial tissue removal are disclosed. In one aspect, the gastro-intestinal tract of a patient is modified by a gastro-intestinal treatment device comprising an elongate element configured to extend within the gastro-intestinal tract, a first attachment element and a second attachment element disposed on the elongate element, wherein the first attachment element and the second attachment element are configured to attach to the gastro-intestinal tract such that a portion of the gastro-intestinal tract is compressed between the first and the second attachment elements. The length of the gastro-intestinal tract modified by the device is effectively shortened, and its surface area is reduced.

    摘要: A device for safely accessing bone marrow and other tissues is disclosed. Such device comprises a needle assembly, a sensor mechanism, and an actuator configured to engage with the needle assembly via the sensor mechanism to advance a tissue penetrable needle through a first tissue region and into a second tissue region. In one aspect, the first tissue region is a bone cortex and the second tissue region is a bone marrow cavity. The sensor mechanism is configured to disengage the actuator from the needle once the needle has crossed the first tissue region (e.g., bone cortex) into the second tissue region (e.g., bone marrow cavity), thereby preventing the needle from advancing further into the second tissue region. In one aspect, the sensor mechanism is mechanical and comprises a pin assembly comprising a spring-loaded pin that extends through the needle. The pin assembly is configured such that advancement of the distal tip of the spring-loaded pin past the distal tip of the needle causes the actuator to disengage from the needle. The actuator is a rotatable actuator. A catheter-based embodiment of the device can be inserted in body passageways to access tissue internally within the body.

    摘要: A system for delivering multiple implants into lung passageways is disclosed. The system comprises a catheter configured to receive and store a plurality of expandable implants, and an actuatable delivery tool coupled to the proximal end of the catheter. The system expels an implant of the plurality of implants with each actuation of the delivery tool. The delivery tool comprises a plunger element which extends through the catheter from the proximal to the distal end and allows the delivery tool to mechanically communicate with the implants. In one embodiment, the system comprises a spring-loaded slidable element, and a user compresses the slidable element to actuate the delivery tool. In another embodiment, the system comprises a rotation rod, and the user moves the rotation rod in a distal direction to actuate the delivery tool.
