The device and method of the invention generally relate to a system and method for percutaneous delivery, implantation and securement of an anchor at a target site. The system comprises an anchor having a bridge, a first stabilizer having a crimped state and a deployed state, a second stabilizer having a crimped state and a deployed state, and a positioning arm. The system may further comprise a cannula, pushrod, and sheath. The system permits the deposit of an anchor at a target location in the body by utilizing a controlled amount of force. The anchors and methods are particularly well-suited to implantation within the body of a living animal or human to monitor various physiological conditions.
An implantable anchor comprising a proximal stabilizer, a distal stabilizer, a bridge therebetween and a positioning arm, wherein said first and second stabilizers have a crimped configuration and are capable of a deployed configuration.
A deployment system for percutaneously delivering and implanting an anchor having a first stabilizer, a second stabilizer and a bridge therebetween having a crimped configuration and capable of a deployed configuration, comprising an introducer cannula, a pushrod, and a sheath.
A method for using a deployment system comprising a cannula, sheath and anchor, said anchor having a positioning arm, a first stabilizer extending from a first ring, a second stabilizer extending from a second ring oriented, and said sheath maintains the first stabilizer and the second stabilizer in a crimped state, said method comprising the steps of:
A method of manufacturing an anchor, comprising the steps of:
A mandrel for manufacturing an anchor having expandable first and second stabilizers comprising a first disc, a second disc and an axel therebetween, said first disc having a convex surface toward the second disc and said second disc having a convex surface toward the first disc, wherein each disc has a groove extending from the axel.
