Abstract:
A medical system may include a shaft member and a structure physically coupled to the shaft member. A portion of the shaft member may be sized to be delivered through a bodily opening leading to a bodily cavity. The structure may include at least two flexible couplings, each flexible coupling extending transversely from an intermediate portion of a respective one of at least two elongate members of the structure. The flexible coupling extending transversely from the intermediate portion of a first one of the at least two elongate members forms at least a part of a first closed loop arranged to receive a portion of the flexible coupling of a second one of the at least two elongate members therethrough to limit a spacing between the intermediate portions of the first and the second ones of the at least two elongate members.

Claim (Index 1):
A medical system comprising:\n a shaft member including a portion sized to be delivered through a bodily opening leading to a bodily cavity; and a structure physically coupled to the shaft member, the structure including a plurality of elongate members, the structure selectively moveable between a delivery configuration in which the structure is suitably sized to be deliverable through the bodily opening to the bodily cavity, and an expanded configuration in which the structure has a size too large to be deliverable through the bodily opening to the bodily cavity, wherein each of at least one elongate member of the plurality of elongate members comprises a respective plurality of material layers, wherein a first subset of the respective plurality of material layers of the one elongate member contacts a second subset of the respective plurality of material layers of the one elongate member, an external surface of the first subset of the respective plurality of material layers of the one elongate member forming part of a first surface of the one elongate member, an external surface of the second subset of the respective plurality of material layers of the one elongate member forming at least part of a second surface of the one elongate member, and the first surface of the one elongate member and the second surface of the one elongate member forming opposing surfaces on opposite sides of the one elongate member, and wherein the first subset of the respective plurality of material layers of the one elongate member includes a notch that exposes a surface of the second subset of the respective plurality of material layers of the one elongate member, the surface of the second subset of the respective plurality of material layers of the one elongate member that is exposed by the notch forming a portion of the first surface of the one elongate member.
