Abstract
Magnetically actuated gating devices, magnetically actuated gating systems, magnetically actuated gating kits, and methods of treatment using a magnetically actuated gating device are described herein. An example embodiment of a magnetically actuated gating device comprises a housing, a rotatable member, a compression member, and a membrane. The rotatable member has a first magnetic field that is configured to interact with a second magnetic field produced by an external element to move the rotatable member between a first position and a second position.
