Abstract
An integrated physiological monitoring and tissue anchoring device is provided. The device includes a detachable clamp at the distal portion that includes a sensor configured to sense a physiological parameter from the gastrointestinal tract. A handle at the proximal portion of the device is configured to actuate the clamp into a closed configuration in which gastrointestinal tissue is grasped by the clamp. A cable connects the handle to the clamp and has a frangible section near the clamp such that the clamp is detachable from the cable at the frangible section.
Claims20
An integrated physiological monitoring and tissue anchoring device having a distal portion and a proximal portion, the device comprising:
- a clamp at the distal portion comprising:
- at least one arm configured to grasp a side of tissue and having a top face and a bottom face;
- an opposing substrate configured to engage an opposing side of the tissue and comprising a sensor mounted thereon that is configured to sense a physiological parameter from the gastrointestinal tract;
- a handle at the proximal portion configured to actuate the clamp into a closed configuration in which the tissue is grasped by the at least one arm such that the sensor contacts the opposing side of the tissue;
- and
- a cable connecting the handle to the clamp and having a frangible section at the distal portion at a location distal to the handle and proximal to the clamp such that the clamp is detachable from the cable at the frangible section.
The device of claim 19, wherein the device comprises a drug dispenser operably coupled to the controller, the controller programmed to actuate release of a medication from the drug dispenser into the patient in response to a determination that the physiological parameter falls outside a threshold value or range for the at least one physiological parameter or in response to a determination that the physiological parameter meets a pre-defined condition.
