Abstract: A delivery system includes a reloadable handpiece to which cartridges of various configurations can be attached and operated to deliver otomy control devices, magnetic compression anastomosis devices, and/or other devices for anastomosis procedures. The handpiece generally includes a deployment mechanism (e.g., including a pusher) configured to control deployment of the at least one implant from a distal end of an attached cartridge and at least one actuator allowing a user to operate the deployment mechanism. The at least one actuator may include an implant delivery actuator and a suture release actuator.

Abstract: Various types of otomy control devices that secure a periphery and/or adjacent tissue of a target otomy site and maintain the size of an otomy through a single wall of a vessel, organ, or lumen within the body. Among other things, this can reduce unintentional trauma, dilation, contraction, or locomotion of an otomy during a surgical procedure. They also can serve a beneficial purpose of allowing immediate communication between lumens before the complete creation of A permanent anastomosis. In some embodiments, magnetic compression anastomosis devices and/or other devices can be deployed through a channel of the otomy control device such as for deployment in a distal lumen.

Abstract: The invention provides systems, devices, and methods for the delivery, deployment, and positioning of magnetic compression devices at a desired site so as to improve the accuracy of anastomoses creation between tissues, organs, or the like.

Abstract: The invention provides a system including a securement apparatus for providing improved placement and securement of magnetic compression devices at a desired target site so as to create anastomoses between tissues. The delivery apparatus is configured to be used in the placement and securement of magnetic compression devices that include one or more guide elements, such as sutures or wires, used for the positioning and/or manipulation of the devices once delivered to the target tissue, to achieve optimal placement and subsequent anastomosis formation.
