Abstract
Various embodiments of spacer apparatuses, and transport and/or storage apparatuses, for use with magnetic platforms configured to be magnetically coupled to a medical device within a body cavity of a patient.
Claims20
An apparatus for use with a magnetic platform configured to be magnetically coupled to a medical device disposed within a body cavity of a patient through a tissue, the apparatus comprising:
- a spacer having a coupling portion and a ridge defining an interior region, the coupling portion configured to be coupled to the magnetic platform such that a user can grasp the magnetic platform with at least a part of the user's hand disposed in the interior region.
An apparatus comprising:
- a sidewall configured to define an interior region sized to receive a magnetic platform that is configured to be magnetically coupled to a medical device disposed within a body cavity of a patient through a tissue;
- a plurality of projections extending into the interior region and configured to hold a magnetic platform in the interior region in a substantially fixed orientation relative to the sidewall.
