Abstract
Systems, devices and methods for retrieving a magnetic implant used for forming a magnetic compression anastomosis between two adjacent walls of hollow organs of the digestive system of a patient are provided. The retrieving of the magnetic implant can be done using a retrieving device configured to magnetically engage the magnetic implant. The retrieving device can include a flexible housing comprising a housing wall defining a retriever magnet receiving cavity and a plurality of retriever magnets provided in series within the retriever magnet receiving cavity. The flexible housing can include a proximal portion having a proximal stopper engageable with a delivery wire. The proximal stopper can include a delivery attachment engageable with the delivery wire. The retrieving device can be magnetically engageable with the magnetic implant within the digestive tract when brought in sufficiently close proximity of each other via manipulation of the delivery wire.
