    • Described herein is a positioning tool having an elongate portion for carrying a medical implant. Also described is a method of positioning a medical implant using an elongate positioning tool. One form of the method includes positioning a medical implant on a distal portion of an elongate positioning tool, inserting the positioning tool with the implant thereon into a body cavity manipulating the positioning tool to position the implant into contact with tissue at an attachment location, attaching the implant to surrounding tissue at the attachment location, separating the implant from the positioning tool, and withdrawing the positioning tool from the body. In a preferred embodiment, the position of the implant is visually confirmed using an endoscope before the implant is attached to surrounding tissue. In one embodiment, the implant is a satiation device and the body cavity is the esophagus and/or stomach. In an alternative embodiment, an expansion structure on the distal end of the elongate portion expands and/or contracts the medical implant to facilitate positioning.
    • 本文描述的是具有用于承载医用植入物的细长部分的定位工具。 还描述了使用细长定位工具定位医疗植入物的方法。 该方法的一种形式包括将医疗植入物定位在细长定位工具的远侧部分上,将其上的植入物插入定位工具进入体腔以操纵定位工具以将植入物定位在附着位置处与组织接触 植入到附接位置处的周围组织,将植入物与定位工具分离,并将定位工具从身体上取出。 在优选实施例中,在植入物附接到周围组织之前,使用内窥镜在视觉上确认植入物的位置。 在一个实施例中,植入物是饱食装置,并且体腔是食道和/或胃。 在替代实施例中,细长部分的远端上的膨胀结构膨胀和/或收缩医疗植入物以便于定位。
