    摘要: An implant for placement within a hollow body organ. The implant has a member with distal and proximal ends. The member has an undeployed shape for delivery to the hollow body and a deployed shape for implantation therein. The implant has at least one tensioning tether with a first end attached to at least one of the distal and proximal end and a second ends attached to the member between the distal and proximal ends. Wherein applying tension to the tether moves the member towards the deployed shape. The member preferably has a first rate at which it initially resists bending, and a second substantially higher rate at which it resists further bending.

    摘要: Various exemplary methods and devices are provided for tensioning suture. The methods and devices are particularly useful in surgical suturing applications in which it is desirable to maintain tension on suture being delivered, yet to allow the tension to be released as desired without retracting the suture. Thus, when tension is released, a length of suture extended from the device can remain extended without any tension being applied thereto. Tension is only applied to any additional length of suture that is extended from the device. The tension applied to the suture is proportional to the length of the suture extended from the device until the tension is released and reset.

    摘要: A device, including a display and an implant for placement within a hollow body organ, the device includes a member having an undeployed shape for delivery within a hollow body and one or more deployed shapes for implantation therein. The member having sufficient rigidity in its deployed shape to exert an outward force against an interior of the hollow body so as to bring together two substantially opposing surfaces of the hollow body. The device includes a means for changing the deployed shape of the member while implanted within the hollow body. The device also includes a wireless device, external to a body of a patient, for controlling the means and for changing the deployed shape of the member while implanted within the hollow body.

    摘要: An implant for placement within a hollow body organ. The implant includes a distension device having an undeployed shape for delivery within a hollow body and one or more deployed shapes for implantation therein. The distension device has sufficient rigidity in its deployed shape to exert an outward force against an interior of the hollow body so as to bring together two substantially opposing surfaces of the hollow body. The implant also includes a powered means for changing the deployed shape of the member while implanted within the hollow body including an apparatus operable to convert energy produced by the patient into energy to power the implantable device.
