    Abstract: A sheath assembly includes a first sheath, a second sheath, and an attachment mechanism. The attachment mechanism secures the second sheath to the first sheath such that a first portion of a second sheath outer surface interfaces with a portion of a first sheath outer surface. The second sheath is configured to transition between an expanded state and a collapsed state such that the profile of the sheath assembly can be reduced when the second sheath is in the collapsed state. This can allow the sheath assembly to become more compact, for instance, during insertion, but yet expandable, for instance, once in place within a patient to suitably accommodate an instrument within the second sheath.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a surgical application tool (18) for implanting an electrode wire on nerves in an inner area of a pelvis of a human body, the surgical application tool (18) including a mandrel (16) having an engagement tip (19) and a shaft section (02) and including a sleeve (01) which is configured to insert and guide the electrode wire through a sleeve interior (08) when the mandrel (16) is removed, the sleeve (01) extending at least along the shaft section (02) and being detachable from the mandrel (16), a handle (20) being provided on the mandrel (16) and/or the sleeve (01) for the extracorporeal handling of the application tool (18), and the handle (20) being configured to manually rotate and/or pivot the mandrel (16) and/or the sleeve (01) when it is inserted into the body. The shaft section (02) of the mandrel (16) and/or the sleeve (01) have/has at least one S-shaped segment (03) having two consecutive arc sections (05, 06), the outer arc section (06) of the S-shaped segment (03) at least partially enclosing the nerve.

    Abstract: An assembly including a bougie and a sheath for use in performing a gastroplasty for dividing a stomach of a patient into a sleeve receiving food and a bypass portion. The bougie includes an elongated body having a segment being shaped to follow a lesser curve of the stomach, and an extension member being movable within the stomach for positioning a distal portion thereof away from a gastroesophageal junction of the stomach and to define a fluid passage between the sleeve and the bypass portion. The sheath has an elongated main lumen in which the bougie is inserted and the sheath is translatable along the bougie to selectively expose the extension member of the bougie to perform its guiding action, or hide the extension member to ensure secure displacement of the bougie within the stomach and along the oesophagus.
