Abstract
An endoscopic anastomosis system (100), devices, and methods. The system (100) includes a first main body (200). The system (100) includes a head assembly (300) secured to the first main body (200). The head assembly (300) includes an opening (318), a first pressure port (332), and a first expandable member (320). The system (100) includes a second main body assembly (400), at least a portion of the second main body assembly (400) moveable through the opening (318) of the head assembly (300). The second main body assembly (400) includes a second expandable member (420) and a second pressure port (422). The system (100) includes a magnetic implant assembly (430) secured to an end of the second main body assembly (400). The magnetic implant assembly (430) includes a magnetic body (432). The magnetic body (432) is formed as a cylindrical body with a central axis. The magnetic body (432) includes a front wall (432a), a rear wall (432b), and a exterior circumferential sidewall (432c) formed around the magnetic body (432). The exterior circumferential sidewall (432c) defines a thickness of the magnetic body (432). The exterior circumferential sidewall (432c) is formed at a first radius from the central axis.
