Electrosurgery with cooled electrodes
TL;DR: In this paper, a cooled electrosurgical system includes an electrosurgery device having at least one electrode for applying electrical energy to tissue, where the internal cavity is closed at both ends of the device such that the cooling medium is contained within the electrode at the surgical site.
Patent
Anti-obesity devices
TL;DR: In this paper, a gastrointestinal implant device is anchored in the pyloric portion of the gastrointestinal system and extends beyond the ligament of Treitz, and all food exiting the stomach is funneled through the device.
Patent
Methods and apparatus for anchoring within the gastrointestinal tract
TL;DR: In this paper, an anchor is configured for minimally-invasive implantation and sized to remain securely positioned within at least a portion of the gastrointestinal tract of an animal, including a radial spring formed from an elongated resilient member shaped into an annular wave pattern.
Patent
Atraumatic delivery devices
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a delivery device that includes an outer sheath, or container, for storing a proximal portion of the implant device, and a release mechanism coupled to the moveable element for releasing the distal end of implant.
Patent
Atraumatic Gastrointestinal Anchor
TL;DR: In this paper, an anchor is adapted to provide differing radially-outward forces along its length, a securing force and a transitional force, which can be controlled by varying a physical property of the anchor, such as its stiffness, thickness, or shape.
