Abstract
An endoscopic gastric plication device includes an assembly able to co-operate with a handle provided with a control mechanism for actuating the assembly for placing and securing a staple around a fold in a stomach wall. The device includes: a mechanism for gripping/pulling a portion of a stomach wall arranged at the end of a manipulation rod adapted to be connected to the control mechanism, which mechanism is capable of being actuated by the control mechanism so as to grip the stomach wall and pull it to form a fold; a mechanism for guiding a staple around the fold in the stomach wall; at least one staple and a mechanism for pushing the staple into the guide mechanism, the staple being designed to pass through and form a loop around the fold while being guided by the guide mechanism; and a mechanism for pulling the looped end of the staple.
