Abstract
Gastrointestinal implants in areas such as the esophageal area, the stomach, and the intestinal area are used in the treatment of conditions like obesity and diabetes. An implant including an anchor with barbs having pores, can allow for longer term anchoring. The pores can promote tissue ingrowth from the surrounding tissue that the barb is penetrating, thus advantageously allowing increased stability and longer term anchoring compared to a non-porous barb.
