  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY
    Publication number: 20140012248
    Abstract: A medical treatment device includes an elongate member having an internal volume, a proximal end, and a distal end, the internal volume extending from the proximal end to the distal end. The medical treatment device further includes a first coupler and a second coupler, the first coupler and the second coupler coupled to the internal volume of the elongate member; a first joining member and a second joining member, the first joining member coupled to the first coupler and the second joining member coupled to the second coupler. The first joining member is configured to attach to a first biological matter location, and the second joining member is configured to attach to a second biological matter location, the second location being distal to the first location. The second coupler is configured for manipulation to align relative the first coupler such that the second biological matter location relocates adjacent the first biological matter location.
