An intragastric member and method of delivery thereof are described. Delivery of the intragastric member (11) is enabled by partitioning the intragastric member into discrete bundles (14- 17) with retaining members (34-38) that are circumferentially disposed along the longitudinal length of the intragastric member. Formation of the intragastric member into bundles facilitates controlled delivery into the gastric lumen. The use of suture ties (61-64) enables deployment of the intragastric member into the gastric lumen. The distal ends of the suture ties are affixed to the bundles. Pulling on the proximal free (65-68) end of each of the suture ties enables the corresponding bundles to be advanced distally along a delivery tube (18). The suture ties are pulled until each of the bundles slide off from the delivery tube and enter into the gastric lumen (1020).

L'invention concerne un élément intragastrique et un procédé pour le délivrer. La délivrance de l'élément intragastrique (11) est permise par la séparation de l'élément intragastrique en faisceaux discrets (14-17) avec des éléments de contention (34-38) qui sont disposés sur la circonférence le long de l'élément intragastrique. La formation de l'élément intragastrique en faisceaux facilite la délivrance contrôlée dans la lumière gastrique. L'utilisation de liens de suture (61-64) permet le déploiement de l'élément intragastrique dans la lumière gastrique. Les extrémités distales des liens de suture sont fixées sur les segments. Une traction sur l'extrémité proximale libre (65-68) de chaque lien de suture permet de faire avancer les faisceaux correspondants dans la direction distale le long du tube de délivrance (18). Les liens de suture sont tirés jusqu'à ce que chaque faisceau glisse hors du tube de délivrance et entre dans la lumière gastrique (1020).
