Zusammenfassung:A gastric band introduction device includes an elongated support tube having a handle at a proximal end thereof and an opening for delivery of a gastric band at a distal end thereof. The introduction device also includes a transparent section formed at the distal end of the support tube. A method for the application of a gastric band through the utilization of an gastric band introduction device is achieved by removing the gastric band introduction device from its packaging, initiating a check of the gastric band prior to introduction within the patient, the check including viewing of the gastric band through a transparent section formed in the introduction device, and introducing the gastric band.
