Abstract
The invention provides systems, devices, and methods for the delivery, deployment, and positioning of magnetic compression devices at a desired site so as to improve the accuracy of anastomoses creation between tissues, organs, or the like.
Claims29
An apparatus for capturing and manipulating a magnetic compression anastomosis device, the apparatus comprising:
- an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end;
- and
- an articulating facia coupled at the distal end of the elongate body and movable between at least a closed position and a fully-opened position, the articulating facia configured to capture a magnetic anastomosis device, wherein the articulating facia has a diameter greater than a diameter of the elongate body.
An apparatus for capturing and manipulating a magnetic compression anastomosis device, the apparatus comprising:
- an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end;
- and
- an articulating facia coupled at the distal end of the elongate body and movable between at least a closed position and a fully-opened position, the articulating facia configured to capture a magnetic anastomosis device, wherein the articulating facia includes at least one adhesive to capture the magnetic anastomosis device.
An apparatus for capturing and manipulating a magnetic compression anastomosis device, the apparatus comprising:
- an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end;
- and
- an articulating facia coupled at the distal end of the elongate body and movable between at least a closed position and a fully-opened position, the articulating facia configured to capture a magnetic anastomosis device,
- wherein the articulating facia is biased toward the closed position.
