This technology includes a strategy for retrieving a pair of implanted magnets from a patient’s body. This method includes maneuvering a guide catheter with a guide magnet on the distal end. Current methods are geared toward magnetic compression occurring in the digestive system, while this method can be used as a less invasive method for cardiac magnetic compression.

Commercial Applications
Surgical strategy for removal of implanted magnets in the body.

Competitive Advantages
Current strategies for removal of implanted magnets are not feasible in cardiovascular passageways.
