Anchors and Introducer...Step by Step

 1. Four diverging anchors, 1 cm apart at skin level, secure stomach to abdominal wall. The trigger is pushed to assist release of gastric "T" crosspieces. The needle is rotated before retracting its obturator.
 2. A "J" wire is introduced percutaneously into the stomach and advanced by "rat-toothed" forceps into the duodenum (as one wire placement alternative).

 3. A 7 mm steel "Break-Away" dilator/introducer over the taut "J" wire perforates into the stomach, centered within the 2 cm apart gastric "T" crosspieces.
