"Magnetic Devices And Methods For Magnetically Clamping A Portion Of A Hollow Organ Of The Digestive Tract" in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240366229).

The patent application by GAGNER, Michel, assigned to Gt Metabolic Solutions Inc., introduces a method for resectioning an inwardly protruding portion in a hollow organ using a magnet assembly clamping device. This method aims to address challenges and complications associated with traditional surgical procedures that modify organ configurations, such as bariatric and resection surgeries. The innovative approach involves magnetically coupling opposite walls of the protruding portion to allow them to fuse together via ischemic pressure necrosis, reducing trauma, bleeding, and infection risks. The patent application outlines detailed steps and implementations for this novel technique, offering potential advancements in digestive system surgical procedures. [Extracted from the article]
