Abstract
A device for use in bariatric surgery includes a tube member, a coupling member, and a rod member. The tube member includes a proximal portion and a distal portion having a distal end. The coupling member is affixed to the tube member. The rod member includes a proximal portion and a distal portion having a distal end. The rod member is slidably coupled with the coupling member. The distal end of the rod member is fixedly coupled to the distal end of the tube member. The proximal portion of the rod member is translatable relative to the tube member to transition the distal portion of the rod member between a contracted position, wherein the distal portion of the rod member extends along the distal portion of the tube member, and a deployed position, wherein the distal portion of the rod member bows outwardly relative to the tube member.
