Abstract
A lung volume reduction system is disclosed having an implantable device adapted to be delivered to a lung airway of a patient in a delivery configuration and to change to a deployed configuration to bend the lung airway. The invention also discloses a method of bending a lung airway of a patient by inserting a device into the airway in a delivery configuration and bending the device into a deployed configuration, thereby bending the airway.
