An assembly including a positioning tool that includes a probe affixed to a portion of a grasping tool, wherein a distal tip of the probe protrudes distally from the grasping tool a distance corresponding to a position for placing a magnet with the grasping tool.

Positioning tool for anastomosis

An obstruction device includes an obstruction disc mounted on a proximal portion of a shaft. Anchoring members are disposed on the shaft on a proximal side of the obstruction disc. The anchoring members include a pair of loops which are orthogonal to each other, one being a longitudinal member and the other a latitudinal member. One or more support struts, which include one or more loops, are disposed on a distal side of the obstruction disc.

Obstruction device

A tacker for applying a rotary tack, including a tacker for applying a rotary tack, including a handle with a first trigger assembly and a second trigger assembly, the trigger assemblies being coupled to an articulated applicator arm which is disposed through a drive shaft connected to the handle, the first trigger assembly operative to apply a rotary tack from a distal end of the applicator arm and the second trigger assembly operative to bend the distal end of the applicator arm, wherein a longitudinal axis of the handle is tilted with respect to the drive shaft.

Ergonomic rotary tacker

A suturing assembly including a first puncture element including a sharp distal end for puncturing tissue, a second puncture element including a sharp distal end for puncturing tissue, the distal ends of the first and second puncture elements being spaced from each other by a gap, and a spacer arranged for sliding distally and proximally on at least one of the first and second puncture elements.

Suturing assembly with spacer

A magnetic anastomosis assembly includes a magnet with a passageway and a guidewire passing through the passageway. The passageway can be external or internal to the magnet body.

Magnetic anastomosis assembly

A tacker for applying a rotary tack, including a drive shaft coupled to a trigger assembly, wherein operating the trigger assembly causes rotation of the drive shaft, a distal portion of the drive shaft passing into an articulated arm that holds rotary tacks, wherein upon operation of the trigger assembly, the drive shaft rotates to cause deployment of the tacks distally out of the articulated arm, and wherein the drive shaft includes a cable on which are located a plurality of axially spaced drive links that transfer rotational motion of the drive shaft to rotation of the tacks.

Drive mechanism for articulating tacker

An obstruction device includes an obstruction disc mounted on a shaft. The disc includes a membrane attached to a peripheral frame. An anchoring member extends from a distal portion of the shaft. The shaft, anchoring member and peripheral frame together have a unitary construction made from a bent slender element.

Pyloric obstruction device

An assembly including an obstruction device including a proximal obstruction balloon and a distal obstruction balloon mounted on a shaft, the balloons being inflatable via an inflation lumen, and a delivery system that includes an insertion tool and an injection site assembly assembled with one of the balloons, the insertion tool including a connector which is connectable to the injection site assembly and which permits passing tools and injection fluid therethrough.

Inflation and deflation of obstruction device

A suturing assembly including a first puncture element including a sharp distal end for puncturing tissue, a second puncture element including a sharp distal end for puncturing tissue, the distal ends of the first and second puncture elements being spaced from each other by a gap, suture thread disposed along a portion of the first puncture element, wherein the suture thread is arranged to be grabbed at the distal end of the first puncture element, and a suture grabber positioned at the distal end of the second puncture element.

Suturing assembly and method

A method for tissue repair including providing a kit including a mesh placer, mesh stitcher and mesh tacker, placing the mesh at a tissue repair site with the mesh placer, holding the mesh in place with the mesh placer, and fastening the mesh to tissue with at least one of the mesh tacker and mesh stitcher.

Tissue repair method and kit

A tacker for applying a rotary tack, including a drive shaft coupled to a trigger, wherein operating the trigger causes rotation of the drive shaft, a magazine that holds a rotary tack rotatingly connected to the drive shaft, and an articulated applicator arm including a rotatable output shaft rotatingly connected to the magazine, wherein the magazine is proximal to the articulated applicator arm, the articulated applicator arm including one or more pivoting links, each pivoting link including a link shaft, wherein operation of the trigger causes the driver shaft and the one or more link shafts to rotate so as to distally advance the rotary tack from the magazine past the one or more pivoting links.

Pivoting tacker

A tacker for applying a rotary tack, including a drive shaft coupled to a trigger, wherein operating the trigger causes rotation of the drive shaft, an articulated applicator arm pivotally connected to the drive shaft at a pivot, the articulated applicator arm including a rotatable output shaft connected to a magazine that holds a rotary tack, and a clutch mechanism which, at initial movement of the trigger, has a first orientation that causes the articulated applicator arm to pivot about the pivot until reaching a stop, and has a second orientation wherein upon continued movement of the trigger, the clutch mechanism permits the drive shaft to rotate the output shaft and cause application of the rotary tack from the magazine.
