Abstract
Provided are gastric residence systems comprising: a core; a plurality of arms connected to the core at a proximal end through a plurality of linker components, one linker component of the plurality of linker components corresponding to each arm of the plurality of arms, and the plurality of arms extending radially from the proximal end, and a filament circumferentially connecting each arm of the plurality of arms.
Claims20
A gastric residence system comprising:
- a core;
- a plurality of arms connected to the core at a proximal end through a plurality of linker components, one linker component of the plurality of linker components corresponding to each arm of the plurality of arms, and the plurality of arms extending radially from the proximal end;
- and
- a filament circumferentially connecting each arm of the plurality of arms.
A gastric residence system comprising:
- a plurality of arms connected at a proximal end, the plurality of arms extending radially from the proximal end;
- and
- a filament circumferentially connecting a distal end of each arm of the plurality of arms.
A method of manufacturing a gastric residence system comprising:
- preparing gastric residence system comprising a plurality of arms connected to a core at a proximal end through a plurality of linker components, one linker component of the plurality of linker components corresponding to each arm of the plurality of arms, and the plurality of arms extending radially;
- notching each arm of the plurality of arms to form a notch in each arm;
- wrapping a filament circumferentially around the gastric residence system such that the filament is positioned within each notch of each arm;
- and
- closing each notch to secure the filament within each notch.
