Patent number: 11931279Abstract: A delivery system for placing a gastrointestinal device in a mammalian gastrointestinal tract comprises a container assembly; a gastrointestinal implant device that includes proximal and distal ends stored within the container assembly, the proximal end including an anchor and the distal end including a sleeve, coupled to the anchor and folded into the container assembly; and an inner extension to draw a portion of the sleeve from the anchor and from the container assembly as the anchor is retained therein. The inner extension comprises an atraumatic tip, such as a ball, that includes a guidewire rail. Further, a handle is provided that retains or captures an inner catheter within the handle. Within the handle is an elongated element that surrounds a portion of the catheter. A button on a side of the handle is configured to cause engagement of the catheter via the element when the button is depressed.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Morphic Medical, Inc.Inventors: James Loper, Ryan Hanlon, Andres Chamorro, III

Publication number: 20230190505Abstract: A tissue wall of a biological lumen may be reinforced by embedding a material or structure into the tissue wall. The reinforcement material or structure may embed by application of outwardly directed force along an interior side of the tissue wall, threading, or injection. The reinforcement material or structure may act as an embedded scaffold that limits expansion or contraction of the tissue wall to pushing or pulling forces. An anchor device, such as a medical device, may anchor to the reinforced portion of the tissue wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: Endobetes Inc.Inventors: Marc Bessler, Ryan Hanlon, Zachary Tyler Melanson
